Andy, I know Paul Boston looks like he’s probably forty something but he is actually a vet. We had this trouble with his youthfulness last year at Curborough 😁

One for me please😁

And the same plea from me but for a different reason . . . 2024 Championship T-shirts. All entrants get one and it's good to be able to hand them out to those who compete at the first event of the season - Anglesey hopefully. It's more cost effective, and less of a faff, if I can place the order for all the shirts in one go. In order for the supplier to buy in the shirts, get the designs set up, print and embroider the shirts, bag and pack them up and send them to me before Anglesey, I need numbers and sizes (which I will get from your championship entry form) before 14 March. So come on, get your entry in and look forward to another year of great motorsport

Boat hat = blatchat

Thanks for looking Michael. The boat hat post here is at the suggestion of Roger

The Swift Ladies Cup has been awarded since 1992 (first awarded to Lizzie Backwith) to the fastest lady at Curborough over a season, I believe. Unfortunately two of the engraved shields from the base of the cup have been lost and I would like to get them replaced. I wonder if anyone can recall, or find out, who was presented with the cup on two of the years from 1995 to 1999 The cup will be presented again at the Speed Championship Awards lunch at Chesford Grange Hotel, Warwick on 28 October so it would be nice to get it fixed before then Rob

Good work getting the scores out so quickly Andy And congratulations to Charlie for becoming our new champion

Sorry Dan but you weren't on the latest list I got from Andy. I"m sure we can squeeze in a little one

You beat me to it Malcolm

Looking at the entry list and Andy's note of who asked for a garage space, it looks like there are 26 cars entered but only 21 cars asked for a garage space. So working on 8 cars per garage leaves three spare garage spaces I suggest the following allocation for those that requested spaces garages 17 and 18. Team Boston, Charlie Wilson, Andy Winston, John Clarke, Ivan Pullen, Team Cumming, (two spare places) garages 19 and 20. Rob Jacobs, Lewis Carine, Justin Dobson, Tony Smith, Paul Collins, Phil Matchwick, Bryan Herriot, Team Jones garages 21 and 22. Rob Spencer, Chris Alston, Chris Whitlow, Mike Sankey, Malcolm Hickey, Richard Price, Simon Rogers (one spare place)

It's 260mm from the front of the front tyres on my 2017 420R SV with 13" ZZS 185/55 tyres

Hurrah, we've got three garages Well done Andy, Justin and anyone else who helped Andy out with this

I'd like to be in a garage too please. I can try to book one when they go live, if we are not precluded from doing so by some other agreement. Any news on this Andy?

Forgot to mention that the solution all happened the day before a booked MOT, which thanks to you lot, it passed.

After two engine rebuilds in 10,000 miles (due to issues before I bought the car ), when the car seemed to have been filled with kangaroo petrol and black smoke came out of the exhaust when I revved my 420R on the way home from a week's touring in Brittany, I was anticipating the worst. Driving up the M1 it would accelerate fine but would not cruise at an even 70mph without juddering, kangarooing etc. and making the diff sound like maybe that was even the problem. I found this thread when I got home, checked the plugs (all sooty) disconnected the lambda (thanks James) and went for a blast. Now running well, so checked the plugs; now a beautiful light tan colour. Result! So thanks to Bucko for sharing his problem and to all you lot who helped him (or her etc ) which helped me out and probably others too. Lambda sensor now replaced (£55 from Sparkplugs.co.uk) and plugs still looking lovely and no engine rebuild again ... yet. Rob
