Sadly Richard ...we had to Euthanase it shortly after you left ....It passed peacefully after a short period of illness ...

Stigmund ...indeed it is/was ..stainless frametastic 

Had a nice run home, took the A6 up to Stockport and decided to join the M60. All was going well until the 300yds marker for my junction at Whitefield (to take the A56 through Bury and up to home) when a sudden loss of power and a misfire forced me to pull onto the hard shoulder. Engine still running and revving happily at standstill and I noticed the voltmeter showing under 11 volts... check under the bonnet to see fan belt still there and lead plugged into alternator still. I carried on home, with a few more misfires every so often and once home I stalled it manouvring it behind the house (like a tit) and there's just a click at the solenoid (as expected). Start it on the handle and the multimeter was showing about 10V on the battery.... quite how it was still giving a good enough spark I don't know! I put it on trickle charge whilst I went and had my tea n that and a couple of hours later put the battery back on and it fired up and ran a lot better, and drove it to the car wash place to get rid of the worst. It seemed a lot more responsive and lively. Not quite sure how long it hasn't been charging for! Will investigate further but it looks like the alternator is playing up for some reason (though the ignition light is still working just as it should)

Anyway thanks to those who organised it (and cooked on the saturday!) and to everyone who turned up - yet another cracking weekend!
Cheers Vinny for leading the laning (and also for the oil!) - it was great to finally take the Carawagon up on the lanes as it was built for and also thanks to Dave for testing my handbrake Oh, and thank you Mark for bringing the winch bits!













































 

looks like an ace weekend was had, Ffraggle looks well Richard and Lesley looks very happy driving it. Dave did you manage a puncture free journey this time round.

Looks like you had a brill time, the pub must rate as being one of the best I have ever been in! I was hoping to nip over, but other things got in the way. Nice laning pics.

Top weekend cheers all nice to get back out in a series, a jolly good kick up the arse to get the lost legend of 40p back out and about

Some photos to look at.
