    I thought they would be but can't find them in any category which is why I asked. All that's listed is the 3 tshirts unless I'm going blind which a few people have suggestedI am

    Last details added to the breakfast page. With the B&D this weekend I'm starting to think of the next get together for the Manchester area. I've wanted to have a go at a show and shine contest. Anyone else interested in this. I'm thinking mid to late April as long as there is no clash with TSS events. I will find a pub to host it and run two categories. Hosts choice and members choice. The host picks the best polished car in their opinion. The members being more knowledgeable vote for the best all round presented car. Possibly have an entry fee of £1 per category winner of each takes the pot should cover a Couple of drinks etc Opinions please

    The world have lost a true automotive legend. The bravery and skill of the era was so far ahead of anything else involving powered motion

    Last little details. Parking for the breakfast is in Victoria house office car park. I will be there at close to 9.30am to open the gate. There will be people working in the office so can I ask for no excessive engine reving. Save that for the airport tunnels where everyone will appreciate the music. Do we have anyone else wanting the drives directions emailed to them?

    I've spoken to the victorian to reconfirm rough numbers. They have asked if we would like to pre order so. Who would like full English. Who would like sausage butty Who would like bacon. Who would like a combination of all of the above. This will also get us out on the drive before any potential traffic has chance to build up

    Right all. Everything is now fully organised We have use of my works car park if we need it. It's free parking so probably recommended. So far Lauren is the only person to have asked for the directions emailing to her. Anyone else wanting them emailed?

    Brake fluid

    Morning all. I've just spent most of my night shift at work looking at brake fluids. To many reviews and the late hour has mashed my brain which isn't hard to do in normal hours. Is dot.5.1 actually any better then dot4? What does dot actually mean? What is the go to fluid for a road track combination? Thanks all
  20. Neal

    It's been fun. Sayonara!

    The ND mx5 and it's sister RF are fantastic drivers cars. The only issue is the amount of body roll they have. I've had NB and NC models and spent many many pounds just to get them to corner in the flat manner of the 86. The front end turn in of the ND is better then the first gen 86 but can't comment on the new model. The mx5 is very easy to drive fast down a country road mainly because it's the same size as a ballet slipper but it cuddles you through a corner instead of you pushing it and trying to balance the car like when driving the gt86. Auto trader and evo mag have some interesting comparison videos on YouTube of the two cars. In both the ND is faster round a track but that's mainly because of the different stock tyres

    Thanks Gents. 5.1 it is. I think I'll uprate the brake lines at the same time. @Ade as the forums main equipment guru is there a particular brand/type of brake line which recommended or is it a simple choice of hell and Goodrich. Thanks again

    If anyone would like the guide emailed to them for their Google maps let me know and I will forward it to you. If anyone is bringing a Co driver I'm happy to print out a few copies. Let me know as wasting paper is a pet hate of mine. The victorian is tweeking it's menu so I will post that soon. I'm speaking to the landlord of my office block to see if we can use the secure gated car park at my office as it's directly across the road from the victorian and offers more space then the public car park.

    The directions look worse than the drive actually is. For some reason Google feels the need to tell you to take the second exit at a roundabout then remind you to exit the roundabout again.

    Quick tease of the route before I post the map Bramhall to woodford Past the Dean water to Adlington Adlington through macclesfield to Sutton Fork left past the Lords pot pub. Onto the A54 then the A523 through Gawsworth Take darkness to the B5392 follow to the end turning right onto the A34 Taking A357 towards Chelford Right to marthol heading for moberly on the B5085 Knutsford next then Ashley via castle mill lane which ends at the A538 Through the runway tunnels out of wilmslow on the A5102 back to the start. May need some modifications due to what we find on the recon run but should be good. If you know of any road works traffic hot spots please let me know. I've had a look at some cycling website and there dosnt a pear to be any blasted bicycist events on this drive date.
