Sadly the Libra has no method for playing vinyl, but it has an MP3 disc player so I could burn up some pub-rock........

Do you DO Stoneleigh 2SB???

Hi there

Could someone do me a favour when they are there? Could you take a photo of some seats, specifically Intertrim's and the standard Westfield Sports model. If you could get any sizing information as well while you are there that would be grand

I can't make it down due to Uni finishing around then but plan to go to Harrogate

I've got sizing info for the intatrim seats here, any particular model?

There are a few pics in the advert too, so I could just scan it if you don't know (I'll have to cut it out of the mag then though)

[EDIT] To go on topic for a sec I'd like to try and get to Stoneleigh, but I ordered a Striker yesterday and I need to fix my garage before I can pick it up (get a nice river run through it when it rains...) Oh and the temptation to spend a heap of cash on stuff now I've ordered a kit might well be too much

thanks, It's the narrow bodied ones I was looking at, the Ranger & the Odyssey.

Europa sell them but the pictures they have are too "clinical" as it were - I don't an idea of what they actually look like, pricing options etc (apparently Europa put an extra £50 on the price).

As for sizing information, Europa give the numbers but I was hoping for less precise information than that, more someone who is of similar build to me (i.e. 6ft, 14stone, wide shoulders etc) would plonk their bum in one and see if the sides dig in.

The pictures I've got don't give any idea of scale as the background is just white.

I looked at them at Stafford. They look very small, but then they have to be to fit in a Seven. Didn't actually try one, but it seems that you sit more 'on' them, rather than 'in' them like a traditional bucket seat in a larger car... Well I'd have to anyway (6ft, nearly 15 stone, broad)

thats what I'm worrying about - the ones I have currently are just no use. They flex when pressing on, don't offer any support and the sides dig into the chest

This could be another intriguing problem, the car is already too small for me

I shall be there from Saturday 'til Monday

I heard a rumour that you need to purchase camping tickets in advance. Anyone know if you do or can you still get them on the gates?

Hi Ferg,

One way or another I'll be there. Hopefully in the Quantum with fully trimmed new back seat and rear panels that I'm currently making for it.

All I need now is the fabric, the foam and some time stitching and sticking...

With any luck, I'll be there in the seven. Gotta work out a route that includes little or no motorway - my car doesn't like it and neither do I (7-8000 RPM for about 4 hours would send me out of my mind!)

A429's probably your best bet. Nice road to drive on early Sunday! Pick it up either from J17 of M4 or from A350 in Wiltshire. Brings you right up to A46 near Warwick, with Stoneleigh signposted from A46 just a few miles up the road.
