Roger, Indeed I do. I am the fellow on the right rear whose scalp is causing all the glare. I started a beard last week but am more scruffy than bearded at the moment. See you in two Sundays.

We are enjoying Scotland but today's weather was horrible. Hoping for better tomorrow. We are on the Isle of Skye at the moment, headed toward Inverness for the weekend.

That's good. It'll be a fine day cos the forecast is never right.

Take the time to understand what a part does and how it does it, then you'll have a better understanding of how to fix it when it goes wrong. Beats the scattergun approach every time.

I'll be there - Green 1968 B number 338.

Forecast is horrible - 7-8mm of rain...

- An MGB is never finished. And all those replacement part deliveries give your postman something to do...
- If duct tape doesn't fix it - you haven't used enough duct tape

I just checked and it looked like there is a lot of uncertainty with the Sunday forecast. The weather maps currently show rain moving up from the continent but it may not arrive until possibly later in the day. We'll be there either way, rain or shine. After 2 weeks in Scotland we are prepared for any kind of weather! At least the BBQ at Kimberly House weather looks beautiful.

So it's out with the silicone sealant to plug up the last holes in the scuttle to avoid that wet feet feeling...

Wrap it with clingfilm then run a knife round the door openings.

PJ, Jack, my apologies here for not confirming the suggested Sunday run; I have been flat out work-wise.

Latest news, the MGCdeFrance guys & girls are taking dinner at the Woodstock Arms on the Saturday evening. We're going to the Kimber House BBQ then will drop into Woodstock Arms at around 8:30-9:00p.m. If there's anyone else who'd like a Saturday evening beer the Woodstock Arms is good pub.

Weather-wise, the current BBC report shows slightly colder temp' at 11-12degC but drier than first thought. Fingers-crossed it stays that way. http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2633618

Being less than 1mile from Blenheim, I can't really imagine what the place is going to be like with 2000 MG's arriving...it's only a small town.
