With Mrs C's help we now seem to have the basis useable register, I quite happy to maintain it for those people who would prefer not to update it directly themselves. Also I'm going to add some more fields:-

Current Mileage (K Miles), No. of Rebuilds, No. of Clutches, Tyre Make, Tyre Sizes, Exhaust, Shocks
........say 10.5 ......................0.................0.......... Goodyear F1...255/255...CCC...Bilstein

I will default fields to a std. setup or zero (and hopefully they stay 0) , Am I correct that Carbon Can Company are std. exhausts???? I assume everyone has 18" wheels.

I will also see if we could fit more info in the boxes (e.g. Colour box has space to include interior colour but how?? I need to play a bit). If anyone has any other thoughts for new fields post in this thread, but bear in mind the width will become an issue. Does anyone know how to get rid of the PH info when you print...stuff like My Info,This Forum, Members etc.???I always get in a print of the WIKI.

I'm taking regular backups because one day someone (may be me) will screw it up. I'll date backups on the register. Although HISTORY seems to keep track of changes made.

I'll also put a reference in the WIKI register to this thread which we can use for any new suggestions or update information.

shout IF a MOD(BIG AL) spots this PLEASE CAN WE HAVE THE REGISTER AS A STICKY WIKI PLEASE

Glowworm need help please, hopefully a picture of my Tuscan S is below, can you post this on the new Register. I am not good and these things I have to be honest. Mrs C has done a (and you of course) brilliant job of the new register clapclap. You mentioned adding other items etc e.g. wheels, mine are 19" they do look good even if I have to say so myself. Great thread and to be part of it, many thanks ...Dave

Thanks very much David
Thanks Liz, I keep learning things from you...Is there a website with WIKI codes (or are they HTML codes)...How do I do an embeded LF within a Table entry???
Is there a way off getting rid of PH info on a Print..with Easy Web Print?

All I've used is the Pistonheads Formatting Help and trial and error.

Took ages to track down one problem because there was an extra space before the carriage return.

Couldn't see it!

So no idea about your queries, but I'm sure Google will be your friend - that's all I would do and then look all clever because I copied and pasted the solution!

Hi Liz, I didn't realise it was so easy...I've been thinking PH implemented full WIKI codes as per the WIKI Encyclopedia and would allow you to into HTML .. Instead its just a few edit commands (I realise now the same ones that can be used in all Postings)...How thick am I??? Why do old fashioned Assembler System Programmers (Like me) have to think everything these days is bloody complicated???....Still can't do what I want to, but at least I know why now...I've put a post on website feedback 'cos Petrol Ted's code doesn't seem to allow you the put bullet points inside a Table Cell i.e.

Header 1 Header2
*item 1.1 *item1.2 *item2.1 *item2.2



That was going to be my get around not being able to put embedded Line Feeds in Cells.. headache

Phil, I put the build pic of your car on the register...I saw it on my factory visit in March '06 when mine was being built...I think I picked the first one from when it was for sale...I may have got the wrong car.
To post a pic you need to load in onto a Photo Hosting Website...I use WEBSHOTS which is FREE...the select the thumbnail size and cut and paste the provided URL....Alternatively attach any photos to an e-mail to me keithahume@hotmail.co.uk and I'll do them for you...Keith

PS Webshots is following URL http://www.webshots.com/homepage.html?vhost=www

Keith,

Wow - you actually saw our Tuscan at the factory. Do you have any pics you wouldn't mind sending me. My e-mail is philtuds@yahoo.co.uk.

Thanks very much for posting those pics and if that is really our Tuscan then I'll leave them there.

Regards
Phil.

Congratulations David, you'll really enjoy it, only two weeks to wait biggrin . To date it would appear that you have the first production model convertible.Take it easy when you get it, I although I only had a Chim 400 the power difference was immense. I'll update the register for you.

I'm not convinced about the other Reflex Charcoal at Harrogate Horseless in PH Classified being current(I think its an old ad).. Harrogate HC has been Drivestyle for 2 years and I think that car came from Ciceley. I drove a Reflex Charcoal Demonstrator at Gorners before they went bust, I wonder what happened to that one.

Phil, I think I've only got that one of your car, but I'll send you some "build" pics.

Lee02 has told me that we had his car in twice.. so we're back to 53.

Thanks for updating the register. The car I have bought was with Gorners until bought by Hexham HC with 840 miles on the clock. Maybe it was the demonstrator.

I'll try and see if Don Hastie has photos of the British Grand Masters race where convertibles were used on the parade lap...It would be nice if we had a photo of each of the 15 cars with their GP drivers.(please e-mail me any if you have them)..Also I'll add some build pics at the end chassis and body shells.

Congratulations David I looked at the Hexham car before buying my current Convertable in spectraflair.
By the way the Harrogate car is genuine they were trying to sell it to me for months, I believe that it is now sold and carries an O8 number plate (one of the few!!)

The reflex charcoal car which HHC have just sold was HL Gorners original demonstrator. It went to Hexham when Gorners went bust, and was bought by Graham (724tus).

The car's in fantastic condition in line with the low milage.

Cheers

Paul

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the background history on the HHC car. I am happy that you feel the car is in excellent condition as I have not seen it in the flesh yet. I have taken a leap of faith in Tony at HHC and bought based on his description and photographs and of course my history with HHC and my Chimaera which I also bought from Tony.
I beleive we met at a local TVRCC meet last summer. Hope to find time when next in the UK to attend another meeting or event.
