Tells me I have to register to use the calendar, and says my login isn't recognised.

How do I add my name???

[tvrbob]

Click on 'Add to calendar' and it will ask you to log-in or register. If you've not used this calendar before then register. You could use your current PH user-name & password that way it's easy to remember.

[docevi1]

yes, it was a serious question - I'm concerned about distances you see andy (tvrbob will agree to that), although I'm starting to go further afield.

The marlin aint reliable in the slightest you see (broken down again, same problem as last time, but I know what it is this time)

[andy4200]

No worries....

I'll bring me trolley jack and bag of spanners just in case.
My girlfriend will confirm that I do indeed carry almost a full toolkit in the back of the car for those moments (she complains she can't get any shopping in).
My opinion is, if you carry the tools to fix it then it won't break but the day you stop carrying them it will all go to 5hit....

Thats why you need to sell it and invest in a good reliable TVR. Simple really.......

Bolton!

But once I'd looked at the map and found Bolton Abbey is not in Bolton but near Skipton, that should be ok then... count me in. Should get a good drive through Ripon and Pateley Bridge, or via Richmond and down.

As long as we don't have to go to Bolton

[WildfireS3]

Definitely not going to be in the area for the 18th Driving back up from London that day.

[minimax]

looks pretty easy to get to, and should be good fun, I'm in.

[wedg1e]

Aye, I've been past Bolton Abbey a few times en route to Earby. Now you wouldn't imagine it would be a thriving hub of the aerospace industry, but there it is.

Now, for the Weapon Of Choice: Esprit for the twisties or 390SE for the straights...

Well since we've all seen (and heard) the 390, why don't you bring the Lotus, then we can all have a test drive for comparisons with TVRs...

Does the Lotus dougnut in the carpark as well as the 390, that's the question?

Dunno yet Mick, have only had a brief drive (on a private road ) since I bought it - just to make sure the engine runs and the gearbox works.
Just had a fun afternoon under the rear end fitting new brake pipes and the overhauled calipers...
Not getting much done due to work and the demands of me Julie...
