Thanks Paul, I will accept your offer. I need to dig out my software and then do the transfer, hopefully by the end of today.

I was really annoyed as the DV Tape ran out during the Raffle at the end of the day, I could not understand why the Tape ended so quick?

So, once home, I plugged it into the TV to see how well I recorded (This was my first time using it) and, so very embarressed to admit, I had panned the Cars right to left from the Corner of the Arena and in my excitement hadn't actually stopped recording, so there is 30 minutes of upside down filming as I walked around looking at cars and chatting with a couple of members.

Still, there is some nice footage of clean sills and shiny alloys.......

Many thanks for your vote Cliff,very much appreciated the old girl did Jan and myself very proud by getting us home safely without any problems,although she looked a sorry sight with all the weather we came through,the car that is

Best Regards.

John and Jan.

Thanks very much for your kind comments & it is even cleaner underneath now as the road from Beauleiu was a bit damp briefly when we left so I spent all Monday morning washing the car including jacking the car up & cleaning all the metalwork underneath around the suspension etc.

The only item that isn't factory or dealer fit on this car is the carpet & as of last week the chrome mesh but XPower were about to offer a chrome mesh option during 2005 anyway.

I noticed the carpet - beautiful! I'm seriously tempted to do the same to my '75. Just need a way to justify the spend in my own mind.

Believe it or not the Wilton carpet is about the same cost as the original factory part.
By the time you buy the factory carpet then get sonmeone to fit it by removing all the seats etc & refittng them afterwards this is about the same or dearer than the Wilton.
