Spotted a very tidy looking blue one (SV?) on the A20 outside Brands at about 16.30 today.

Nice to see a reassuringly relaxed view on car washing!

Ah, the lurkers are revealed!

Green 21 at the VSCC Goodwood sprint in the car park. Also spotted 3 more Sevens lurking in the paddock. First time I've been, seemed like a fine low key event.

Spotted at about 6.30, heading down A329 towards Twin Bridges roundabout.

Green and ali at about 7.15 this morning. Beautiful morning for it, not sure about the joy of driving a 7 in that traffic though?

Mine aren't too bad, there's no rattling of the primaries in the collector, they just aren't gas tight. I'm concerned that if I get an expander I won't be able to get the collector on again as it's a bit of a struggle to get all 4 lined up at once.

I have a leak from the exhaust where the primaries go into the 4 - 1. Gas is leaking around the edges of the primaries as this is just an interference fit. This creates noise, currently I'm at 101dB and want to get below 100dB if possible, but more significantly appears to be causing a misfire as well as the usual pops and bangs I've had several goes at sealing it without luck so far. After reading that high temperature silicone was the way forward I bought some high temperature instant gasket stuff but this doesn't seem to work for long. Anyone got any bright ideas? Is there a better type of silicone I could try? Is there a secret to getting the stuff to stay in the small gap between the collector and the primaries? Any advice or cunning plans much appreciated.

This afternoon at about 5.30 on the M25. Cross flow powered? Sounded good anyway. Tim

Red with white stripes and aeroscreen, I was in the silver one going the other way. I guess you were enjoying the sunshine too!

Only just spotted this, BM sent. You can never have too much Lego! Tim

BTTT - surely someone is thinking of going dry sumped? It's from the Pace system originally fitted to k series R500. £200?? Tim

K Series Gold Dry Sump Pump - £250 It's off the car and having inspected it as much as possible without dismantling looks in good condition with no wear to the rotor tips. Blatmail me for more info/pictures. Tim

Glad you had fun, I'd had enough by Chertsey too and went over Chobham Common to Bracknell and home in Wokingham.

Blue on a trailer towed by an X5 and yellow on aero screens. Both stuck in the carp traffic between junction 9 and 12. I assume you were both on your way back from Brands, hope it wasn't a total wash out.
