Going out with a few from Thames Valley today and really looking forward to blowing the webs out of the car and me!

Thanks to that summer runs out have been few and far between and slow because of the weather.

Today looks like it will be good traffic willing!

I was going to take the Turbo for a run today whilst Jen’s at work … instead I’m charging its battery back up. Damned thing had gone flat after being used for only short trips to the shops over Christmas week. D’oh!

Have you tried a solar trickle charger? I've got one but have never used it, Jim H has used his and say's it does the job.

Saying that does the sun shine in Glasgow :lol:

Yup very good they are too!

Just washed mine off ready for Brooklands with everyone else tomorrow.
Depressing, every time I wash it I find another bit of paintwork that needs fixing :(
