looking for one of these, if anyone has one they might be able to bring to Beaulieu? I think the driver side might also be a bit beaten up, but the passenger side one keeps dropping and dragging, as shown on the pic.

Lots of good points raised by all, so i can only echo those that i also think are important. Doing your own thing part time while you have a full time job means sacrificing evenings and weekends. This is good, where it helps to identify if you will get enough work, build a reputation, etc. However, it means you have no time for yourself except where you purposefully make it happen. You must make sure you keep some to yourself, and have a clear idea of how long you think you want to do that to see if it will work out. The big decision will come when you feel you have enough to sustain a full time week on your own. This can be tough when you try to convert regular customers over from evenings/weekends availability to weekday availability. Don't be tempted to continue weekdays, evenings and weekends indefinitely. It was a means to an end to make the break, but you need to recover your free time back at some point. Keep good records and find a good accountant. Always regularly compare your "sole trader" with "limited company" accounting liabilities, to identify the best time to consider swapping. There are advantages and disadvantages to both, but mostly depends on how much you earn and how much you spend. I was sole trader then limited company for about 12 years, before moving back to full time employment 5 years ago (was a good offer ;-) ) and there are big advantages. Although, it is very easy to get trapped into a "not working, not earning" frame of mind/trap and feel a little resentful of taking holidays and time out, but they are a MUST, and what you are working for. Best of luck!

looks like a big clash of events for next year, if Simply Japanese and ToTB are on at the same time, and Silverstone Classic is possibly going to be a week later next year which puts in into the same weekend. The Classic is where the ZClub are proposing to join all clubs up for the multi anniversary.

oh dear :(

ok, if we can find 1 other, we can go thirds mate. i may have to sell some body parts though, as my Z is not quite there...

get on it Gary, bargain for a man of your means :)

thats where i got some from as well Lee, thats what i was searching for https://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/ i have some spare but cannot find them anywhere, lucky i found the ones i took out where in the box the hids came in when do you need them Mark?

i posted a link a couple of weeks ago to where i ordered some from, cant remember the link. lol. Ali, i think the slow startup and extra glare probably gives it away ;)

you will need to solder an earth wire to the bulb or buy a 2 pin h3c bulb i have one of each bulb that i stuck in mine friday ready for mot yesterday

blue one Tony. havent started with the other one yet.

always a worrying time of year. pass for this year, couple of advisories to fix for next year. a bit of welding and some ball joints on the agenda then.

woowoo, wheel police :lol: we haven't had this come up for a while, but yes, they look wrong side in the pics.

i just found the club application form that i thought i had submitted, so i have to submit asap. who is interested in this one? whole weekend? saturday only? sunday only? i come back from holiday on that friday, so might not be able to do the whole weekend myself, but can definitely do one of them.

this will soon come around again, so let's see if we can drum up some more interest :)

from Spain? only if @Joely P; can sort out a private plane for me :lol:

i will be on holiday, else i would have come to this. hope you have a good day :thumbup1:

great weekend everyone :thumbup1:

haha Gary :) leave hinckley at 9:15 on sunday for coventry leave hinckley at 11 on saturday for donington

yes mate. plan to leave hinckley at 11

satnav to Chauntry Place (or postcode posted somewhere in here earlier) not the museum itself, as you need the back entrance.

For the Sunday meet? No cost involved, running from 10-4, until the museum closes

Probably 9-9:15 Steve.
