Pershore Plum Festival Car Show 2021

Ok, so it's a little premature, but would the Club be interested in having a presence at this show.

Assuming that it happens next year, it's held on August Bank Holiday Monday, with vehicles almost filling the entire Park! There is a small entry fee per car, with all proceeds gong to the Abbey.

Re: A Frame Trim Removal

A really useful 'How to" thread. I've ordered the spanner and clips, just in case I need them in the future. I had a good moan about the postage costs, although I doubt if it will make any difference!

Ozone Generator for fumigation?

Hi all.

Has anyone used an Ozone generator to fumigate and eliminate musty odours in a car? If they really work, it might be worth investing in one, for the time saving alone!

Re: 420GSI tourer mini restoration

I've only just seen this, but what a superb job! :clapping Would I be right in thinking that you were really happy with the work carried out by the Bodyshop? I intend to have the 75 restored next year. So far, I've had a recommendation for one near Banbury, but I wondered if Bridgnorth might be easi...

Nightfire Cabby in Fladbury.

I spotted a Nightfire M reg Cabby with a tan coloured roof in Fladbury (Worcestershire) this afternoon. It appeared to be well looked after.

Re: Replacement Wheel Nuts for a 2005 45 GSi

I have got enough original ones for a whole set, but given the problems I've had with them in the past, I thought I would keep them for shows. And it will stop air wrenches damaging them when get new tyres or take it to the garage!!

Hi all, Please could someone advise on the correct specifications for SOLID wheel nuts for the original alloys. I've finally lost patience with the original ones with distorted caps. I had to use 3 different sized sockets to remove one wheel! :cursing Also, can anyone recommend a quality make and on...
