Absolutely! We have a regular meet at the Halfway House (A128) junction on A127 - lots of yanks and cobras and other kits - big turn outs when the weather's good. When the weather picks up properly and I'm on the road again I'll put a shout out to invite all wedges as special guests 
Could do a cruise from there to seafront and photo op.
I used to go to the half way house and have chicken and chips in a basket bet they don't do that anymore !Could do a cruise from there to seafront and photo op.

Put some air in the front tyres (both lose about 2-3psi per week, porous rims I think).
one of mine was losing it and it was the valve stem (OZ split, and the nut on the stem had loosened slightly). Nipped it up - perrfect.If it's losing this quickly then soapy water will reveal the leak.

Don't tell me, you used to have Peach Melba for dessert as well! No they don't, lol.Nice grub though.
Bit cold to be stood in the car park today still had a decent turn out with Merc SLS gullwing, Chevelle SS, Oldsmobile Cutless, DB7, AK cobra, Dax cobra, Pilgrim cobra, TVR chim, C3 Corvette, stunning C1 Corvette
And this cobra - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7i-g2Fo_tA - woosh!!
Well what a faff getting Delilahs offside fuel tank back in, after re soldering the broken joints Tobz and myself finally managed to squeeze the tank back in after various angled attempts. I then went shopping and when I'd returned the wheel was back on so 25 ltrs of go go juice installed in said tank with no signs of any leaks he spun it around the block, that was after having to jump start the old girl with that 'gel' battery, after a quick word with zig he told us what we need to do with it ref re - charging it. At least the de-humidifier has sucked all the water from inside the cabin and yes she needs a new roof too but main thing is she still lives even though he managed to piss the neighbour off ticking over for 20 minutes with that thunderous exhaust .
....I see she is still contributing to the neighbourhood watch....Clutch master cylinder removed and new one delivered from Rimmer Bros - only to find that outlet pipe thread is not compatible. Note to myself that Rover SD1 master does not fit my ba**ard car. Was hoping to get to Shelsley Walsh breakfast club this Sunday after the 4'of flood water at the end of my drive last month somewhat put me off. Very tempted to refit old leaky dribbling one just to get me there and back, and risk staining the carpets and mats. Bugger.
Engine removed, came out easier than expected, I wish I'd bought the load leveller years ago !
(Dad wearing his "engine swapping" hat must have helped)
New (ex griff 500) box & the extremely leaky original in front, unfortunately it's not straight swap as TVR cut off one of the remote mounting lugs from the box so that the Griff remote would fit, I now need to swap the rear housing and remote from my old box along with the speedo drive, while I'm in there I'll stick a new oil pump in as well.
I've also been to u-pull-it and liberated a 106 of it's 12v power steering pump.

New ignition amp fitted. Engine started for first time post Christmas. Sounds awesome but still not quite right.
Then discovered 3/4 of clutch pedal travel with no resistance
Might just throw a new slave and master at it - assuming you can still get them!
Landrover master and slave cylinder and you might have to buy a pipe adaptor for master cylinder Then discovered 3/4 of clutch pedal travel with no resistance

Pull back the footwell carpet and check for fluid running down the firewall: happened to mine and it made a mess of the carpet and leather Then discovered 3/4 of clutch pedal travel with no resistance

Hi Mate...I experienced a judder twice in Delilah, The first time it was the prop UJ and the second time it was the driveshaft UJ's...I also used to feel a slight clunk when engaging gear from neutral...Bit like an auto...Just a thought...Ziga
Thanks Zig, possibly driveshaft or prop, but no metallic banging, knocking or clicking. Definitely makes gets worse with a passenger,Edit: "definitely makes get worse"? No, I've no idea how that happened.
