Scottish law and English law are completely different.
We may be neighbours but we have very distinct jurisprudence
Naturally, EU legislation applies equally to both countries

Any further plans/developments matey?

Thanks Pilko. Your workaround err ............. works

Errr what does it say mate?
I never see any text in quote boxes only Emoticons

Ah ........... was hoping to avoid mention of the plaster
Suppose I'd better explain.
The wing on my V8 is fitted with a high-level brake light.
Coming into Tern Hill on the A41 I noticed in my rear view mirror the light swinging the breeze.
On pulling into the next lay-by I discovered that one of the retaining screws had come adrift.
No one had a spare but Rich kindly donated a screw from one of his headlamps ( but sadly not long enough )
So with no other option we removed the other screw and disconnected the retaining leads.
Now we needed insulating tape to stop the 2 leads touching and causing a short.
Contrary to what we all believed, we had no gaffer tape/plumbing tape/insulating tape of any description.
Thankfully Mrs Oneshot came to the rescue with a box of sticking plasters
Having taped up the leads we started again and thankfully nothing else came losse or fell off

Enjoyed my run today boys ( and Anita )
Pity the traffic ruined the A525. That's a lovely twisty road but overtakes are few and far between if you get stuck behind some numpty.
As Yellow 1 I'm sure I got the best run
Good to meet Rich H and his dad John who was out celebrating his birthday in style. Hope you found the petrol station ok Rich.
Apologies for having to rush off at the end especially when it was to stand in a field getting soaking wet watching son spend 20 minutes chasing a football ( the coffee bar at Trentham Gardens was warm & cosy too
)Next month we're off to Chester as per Alex's thread http://www.thelotusforums.com/forums/index.php/topic/38583-northern-delights-feb-2011/
See you then guys
-
Far too long
We are thinking it all went pear shaped when you took the wing off
Stick it back on and come and play
See you soon
-
See my post above.
It's in the NMEG calendar for the 12/13th so hope that's still a date

They also have a couple of naughty unmarked Skoda Octavia RS's
Keep 'em peeled

Rich,
Dave repairs tanks for the MOD
-
I'm sure the MOD has something suitable Dave
-
Realise it doesn't help Dave but ....................... fingers crossed
Didn't I read in another post that you'd acquired an Elise? Go karts are allowed to play you know
-
Miura ?
Shite !
Prefer the Volvo

You do live an exciting life Mr May
What's this about being "naked" ?
I thought you were a man who went nowhere without his shorts

Hi Rich,
If we leave RAF Cosford at 10.30am as planned then I would expect to be Trentham Gardens for 11.30/12.00.
I expect most folks will settle for a coffee before heading back home for lunch.
As you may know, Trentham Gardens is 5 mins from jct 15 of the M6 so ideally placed for Preston if you don't mind boring motorways.
Be good to have you along
If you can make it, please add your name to the list
Cheers,
Graham

Bibs,
Depends whether by "member" you mean those within the NMEG group or the TLF group.
The NMEG guys are well trained and know where & when to look.
Newbies might miss out though until they get their wings.
What's your thoughts?
-
Gearbox rebuild?
What have you been doing Nige?
Perhaps if you ask nicely they'll have it done in time or maybe loan you something Lotus for the day
Hope it's not painful on the pocket.

Tally Oh,
Plan is to meet on the NAAFI car park at RAF Cosford at 10.00am on Sunday 16th January.
We'll aim to leave at 10.30am, heading for Whitchurch, then Woore and finally Trentham Gardens for a nosey round, coffee or early lunch.
All attendees please sign on below.

Hi Danny,
I don't think the button can be clicked "accidently" because it is quite out of the way really.
The proper use of the button is to vote on the post. I person might disagree with the view being put forward but can nevertheless vote "UP" the thread.
If a person disagrees with a statement then they should post their views and not use the "vote" button.
It was tempting to click the button and vote "down" your thread but that would have been just childish
Hopefully, the button will now be used correctly as the actress said to the bishop
PS Dont go looking at your "Reputation"........ it only causes problems

Attention Flight Crew,
As we brace ourselves for the New Year, I thought that like 2010, I'd better put finger to paper for 2011.
These are my thoughts/plans, but more ideas are welcome. This is YOUR NMEG so ...........

Well done girl.
He is a lucky man

Well after nearly a fortnight of snow and ice, NMEG's Christmas Bash just happened to fall on a fairly dry day with temperatures above freezing.
Leaving Stafford I even to had to reach for my shades
Great to see some sunshineRolled in to the NAAFI car park at RAF Cosford to find Nigel already waiting and ( note to others ! ) SUITABLY DRESSED
By now, the fog had rolled in as well and we were both sporting ice on the wing mirrors.
Dave Oneshot arrived claiming to be Special Forces followed shortly by Dave Changes and Dodgy Dave ( too many Daves me thinks
)If the appearance of Dave Changes Esprit is a measure of his engineering skills then he clearly his a very talented man.
We managed to twist his arm to join us for his maiden flight ( didn't take much really ) and so we all set off for the museum car park having established that Roy, Bibs and Laura were probably not going to be turning up.
We quickly mingled with the enthusiasts attending the Midland Breakfast Club meeting and, with collection bucket in hand, managed to collect an impressive £105 for our nominated charity of 2010 Help For Heroes.
A BIG well done and thank you to all involved, for donations, collections and general enthusiasm
Time for a brew and a warm in the museum cafe. And what a warm feeling the ever-opening blouse of the serving wench created
On leaving Cosford the plan was to aim for Shrewsbury then Whitchurch before returning to Newport for lunch.
Dodgy however decided that a little detour was in order to replenish his 3 year old Shell V Max
So we got to the Lamb a little earlier than planned and we were able to persuade Dave Changes to join us ( again, he didn't take a great deal of persuading
)We were soon seated and with good food and service the Christmas lunch passed quickly.
Another year completed.
Some have fallen by the wayside, new faces have swelled the ranks. A long lost warrior has returned.
So the squadron, spared from the ravishing Defence Budget cuts, plans to fly again in 2011.
If anyone has any ideas/plans for future meets then please get 'em organised, stick 'em in the calendar and make 'em happen
Onward and upward.
