Well, hopefully I've managed to procure the passenger seat of a friends ride for Surrey Run 5 and being "well insulated" aren't particularly phased by the prospect of a chill in the air however I think it might be a good idea to get a little wind protection for the lugs and noggin (since I'm getting a bit thin on top).

Any ideas where I could purchase some warm headgear at short notice (i.e. on Saturday) in the Winchester / Southampton / Andover area?

Result!
I got a good hat from :cough: M&S, a bit like a Russian type one with fur on the inside and big ear flaps that drop down, and when you get over 71mph there is a strap to keep it in place!
Actually I think JonRB has one too - he even posted a picture on here once it may be worth a search.

For pure impact though I think Shnozz's is best and ideal for TVR motoring

Yeah ... I did think of good ol' Ted but it only dawned on me today that - although I might be able to handle sub-zero temeratures normally - an around-zero battering at 70mph (officer) at some ungodly pre-sunrise hour might be a tad colder!

not so grey in the photos under "my cars"

feel free to drop me an e-mail. Will be around and about searching through scrap yards for Mondeo parts but if I am around you are welcome to pop around for a gander at the cars and a cup of char.

Shnozz, fancy meeting up for a blast to the Little Chef for the Southampton/Portsmouth meet? As I'm staying over the in-laws at Chandlers Ford so am only a few minutes from Hedge End...
