Peter Auto minor changes re their regulation.

Rev limit: Cobra rev limit 6.8kRPM, Daytona 6.6 kRPM (TVR Grif' too), GT350 7,2 kRPM, E Type pre '66 7 kRPM, E Type pre '62 all she can get.

Front tires width: Cobra roadster and Daytona 215/70-15.

Minimum weigh: Cobra roadster 1000 kilos, Cobra Daytona 1075 kilos, E Type pre '62 1118 kilos, E Type pre '66 1000 kilos, TVR Grif' 975kilos.

When mandatory the MSD box and its connections will be thoroughly checked. Really.



BOP for: replicas, continuations, look alike, imitations, evocations, photocopies, certified honnest, almost certified, certification in progress, cant find the plate, my dad had the same, my uncle too, almost compliant, go to Specsavers you and mind your business versions still discussed.



Its only my opinion but: 1 if they allow only genuine cars, can they handle more than one meeting per year? 2 how can they find a proper BOP for non genuine cars knowing what is above…

Piece of cake, matter of will. I think all the Cobras are straight now and to police the MSD boxes is really simple. The box must be mounted in the cockpit well in sight and all the wirings must be easy to follow. The market of E Types aluminium blocks is heating up, back orders are numerous.

I am now fully boosted and 5G compliant. No side effects yet.... just came home and did my Windows updates.....

I also have had this urge to now go for a walk..... most unlike me. Im not a big walker. I walk to the car in the garage is more my style.

The true test will be when your next quiz appears.... I will know something is different/wrong if / when the answers spring straight to mind!

Windows updates?? That's some side effect! I felt perfectly normal after my booster even though she didn't give me a boiled sweet...

I see John, I see… But look, she is a whole I suspect and does not a half and a half of the first half make 75%? Anyway, thanks to you, have to recalculate, sounds way too much! Or may be is it Yorkies included?

Now you are mixing your units of measure!

A half + a half of a half is three-quarters..

Have another Scotch - it's nearly Christmas.

Boosted Monday.
Sore arm through the night.
Felt aches and pains Tuesday, then a fever through the night.
All clear by Wednesday morning.

Not sure about all these half and halfs, etc.



Woke up yesterday morning with weird feelings of vertigo - the whole world was wobbly......or so it seemed - very off-putting. Had a similar experience about 7 years ago. Spent most of the day laying in my recliner chair and dozing, until my partner (who was convinced I was having a TIA) managed by devious means to get me a doctors appointment, and my big sis came to drive me there.


Doctor confirmed no TIA and an ear infection related problem, prescribed some tablets which wouldn't cure it, but would make me feel better while my body healed itself.....which I said would do for now


So on a two-week course, which seem to be working - as I only feel semi-detached from the world now - but the dread words on the info sheet - "no alcohol"........so its a dry Xmas. Should lode some weight, I guess.

I guess that's a typo in your last para, Richard!

Sorry to hear of your plight & hope you recover soon.

I cant read the label on the box of medecines tho! But I'll follow Richard's advice and stop the medication for a while waiting for new writings on the champagne bottle label saying its not medication compatible!


Merry Christmas you all, EB first!!

I don't feel too bad the day after having the booster. My arm is a bit sore, but nothing too major. Also felt a bit of a headache, but it's not head splitting

Anyway, time, I think, to wish everyone on here a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year before Jackie's relatives descend upon us tomorrow! See you on the other side!

Woke up this morning and checked the bank, to find my State Pension had not been paid in. Very odd, as I don't think I died, well no one has told me I have.

any other OAPs having this problem?

Nothing on the web about it, and I expect the helplines will be jammed at 9.30 this morning if I am not alone.

Cancel Christmas!!!
