Green 7 with a yellow nose heading South on the A65 today. Just South of Ingleton and passing a group of classic Land Rovers. Hope you missed the rain later!

Interested if the price is mangeable (fingers crossed)

Interested, and prefer the first image myself. Maybe there'll be enough interest to offer a choice?

Thanks all, £30 a corner sounds more like my kind of price too, does that include blasting the old coating? If others are planning wheel refurb this autumn maybe a bulk buy would secure further discounts?

Thanks for these links Jonathan, I was not looking far enough in the past. Birmingham probably a bit far but I'll have a look at the Leeds place that is mentioned. Thanks for your help!

So, after 6 years the wheels of my Caterham are starting to look more than a bit tired with flaking powder coating and some corrosion setting in. Would I be right in assuming that the best way forward will be to get them stripped (shot blasted?) and re-coated? Are there any alternatives (they are too far gone to simply touch-up)? Can anyone recommend anywhere in or near Leeds that might be able to help me at a reasonable cost? Apologies if this is an FAQ, I've done some searching and not found much. Thanks for any advice.

Here's my attempt at a Grot-trap cover. I plan to have a look behind it over the winter, it will be interesting to see what's in there after 5 years and 20,000 miles.

Hi Jon, Get yourself something like this battery pack. I have had a similar one for a few years and it's saved my bacon on a number of occasions. I got it from a local DIY outlet.

Hi Luegonigel, How long have you had your Sigma 150? I have one of the early ones (2007). In the early days it suffered from pinking in high gear and low revs, popping and banging on the over-run (which I didn't mind too much) and gutless performance at altitude (e.g. alpine passes). It's had at least 2 map updates by Caterham Midlands when being serviced and the first two problems are much improved, I haven't had the opportunity to drive an alpine pass recently. It might be worth getting Caterham to check the map and the other adjustments if there's any possibility you are not on the latest. Rob.

Spotted on the Ilkey to Otley 'back' road. We were on cycles, I was the one at the back who waved. Hope you enjoyed your drive!

Green with yellow nose and stripe heading North (for Calais?) Hope you had a smooth journey. Spotted from passing tin-top.

Both perfectly respectable explanations. Sad that I couldn't join the Taffia run myself this time. Hopefully next year!

Green with clams at the Old Rectory this morning. Enjoying a round of golf perhaps?

Heading East through Crickhowell this afternoon just as the sun came out again.

Green S4 with yellow nose band on a trailer just South of Droitwich, travelling South.
