    To all of those that have signed up with us and our partner Fasttrack Tours for Classic Le Mans, the Club Tours team wish you a safe and enjoyable trip. Ian from FTT has been many time before and will have issued a pack full of useful information as you head off to France. I guess the final thing to do is to keep fingers crossed for good weather. Have a fantastic time everyone regards Rog Needham

    Have now read Jackal's detailed explanation of the removal of the same material I am tackling, in which he mentions Xylene (along with an appropriate warning!) Just spent 10 mins reading about Xylene and it's attendant less than pleasant side effects. The strong recommendation to use a specific type of respirator and other protections, has tempted me to stick to persistence, swearing and elbow grease. Rog

    I remember Jackal's Porsche and his 7. Will take a look. Thx all Rog

    Hi, I'm stripping down my Porsche 964 for a refurb and have now reached the obstinate glue residue under the carpet which has now yellowed and hardened over the past 30+ years. I've tried a heat gun (which just seems to caramelise the surface) and Screwfix No Nonsense Sealant Remover. It appears as though I need a weapon's grade / industrial strength. Any recommendations please? Cheers Rog

    Agree Scott, you would have to keep an eye on the tyre batch numbers when ordering. Much would depend on the scale and scope of the all time buy. Having done a few 'atb's' in my time, it's not just a case of buying everything they can, they'll doubtless be looking at the faster moving SKUs etc. will have to see Rog

    Thanks Jonathan

    BTW Scott, "all time purchase " means that Caterham is seeking to make a final single purchase of as much stock as the supplier will allow, based on their other customer commitments and their planned production runs. So after that ..... no more Rog

    Ref #11. I've been running 205/60 on 8in rears for 1700 miles now and all fine. Road only Rog

    As there seem to be a couple of tyre threads in close proximity. Here's the pricing info I recorded in Aug last year Rog

    Here's the price research I did in August last year. At the time GP had no stock Rog

    Gerard, I ordered R888Rs last August from Demon Tweeks 185/60 x 13 205/60 x 13 clearly supply can be variable but give them a try. cheers Rog

    Keeny, that conversation is still going on between Caterham and various potential suppliers. cheers Rog

    I admit that I have not read through all the posts on this thread, but with GM now having ref the business and no doubt Bob Laishley having a lot on his plate, wouldn't a follow up letter to Bob now be in order? As others have said, this is clearly an issue that has affected a fair few owners over the past few years and a gentle reminder letter would hopefully put the issue back towards the top of BL and his exec team's agenda. cheers Rog

    Hi Terry, I too have Avon CR500 (13in) for many years and was preparing to order a set of ZZS and then read more of the future potential supply issues. For the last year I have been using R888Rs and whilst I accept they are not quite as good in the wet at CR500s, I wouldn't describe them as terrible. cheers Rog

    Yes, that belongs to good friends of ours and fellow Mid Staffers, Maggie and James Norris. It was such a sad occasion. Richard will be sadly missed Rog

    Hi Mark, "Yes" in answer to your question. They are still on my Blackbird, but over winter I plan to switch to small 5 3/4in versions. Drop me a PM and we can work out a plan Cheers Rog

    Hi Bill, message received. You have PM Rog

    Hi, I'll take the column UJ please cheers Rog

    Thank you Mr B . We were not on the NC500, just following our favourite roads of the Far North. The odd one out is a Stylus. Its owner having valiantly battled to get his engine rebuild back together in time for the trip, but sadly not quite completing it. A fantastic trip in mostly decent weather Rog​​​​​​​

    They're sensible ... I was the daft one

    Agree with others that the Picos and Pyrenees take some beating, largely in my opinion due to the comparative lack of traffic. I've still got all of my Picos routes loaded in MyRoute-app which I'll happily share. And as Alan notes above taking in the Pau Historique races is worth the effort if timings allow. We did so during our 2012 trip from Bilbao to the Pyrenees. cheers Rog

    Hi Gavin, I am currently away on holiday without access to the relevant info, but on my return over the weekend I will endeavour to dig out the north to south route ( and return) that my wife and I did back in 2014 in our Porsche Boxster. Effectively it was Calais down to Nice and then return via Italian/French Alps and Chamonix to Calais. In two weeks. Will let you know Rog
