Understatement hardly covers it. It's over 5 years. :blink:

Selected for rear gunner position. :th:
Truth! Not 5 years since I saw you last though :th:

2 years without a worthy car for one of your events though. Looking forward to this one, first proper early morning drive in over 2 years for me and first driving event in my Honda. Bring it on!

Alternator related - something gets very noisy with high electrical load. Alternator is less than a year old, belt less than a year old. Could be as simple as needing a touch extra tension on the belt, could be the alternator on the way out. Going to try the former tonight.

Edit: Fine on the 40 mile run to work this morning. Hmmmm. I'm wondering if something slippery got on the belt? Will check / adjust tension tonight anyway.

Will let you know the outcome Mr. Frog!

Hmmm, I know there is no definite answer on this but roughly what time do you think the run will finish?

I've got to be back in Surrey for 9.30, but I would really like to make it along... Could possibly come along for at least the first half or something.

ETA for breakfast is 09.00 (at our usual destination). You're welcome to do however much of the run you want. There are 3 points at which you will be able to peel off before the end and reach Surrey (M25 Cobham services) before your deadline.

Perfect, at least that way I can still do most of the run. I'll peel off early in that case and just miss breakfast at the end. I'll await the usual instructions :th:

Chop chop guys or you won't be getting a PM with start location and route details. The final deadline for sending these is midday tomorrow (Friday) so if you haven't posted here before then you risk missing out!
