Magnificent Motors 2022 - 30th April & 1st May
Myself and two friends who live in/next to Eastbourne got denied individual tickets. The show apparently has social distancing (for reasons that no one can quite grasp as there is no social distancing rules in England now) and they are limiting numbers of visitors AND tickets can not be bought as a walk-in on the day. I don't have social media, but apparently there are quite a lot of complaints about this. So I have decided that I won't be doing this show and concentrating on the BHP show which is the same bank holiday weekend. People are more than welcome to come down to Eastbourne and stay in a hotel, Im happy to organise a short drive on the Sunday and BBQ/meal afterwards followed by beer. @Raja93 you are welcome to be my copilot as you are carless!

Timing belt replacement
Definatly heed this advice, however this is not always true. When Jim did my belt last year, it was the original belt from the factory making it 31 years old. We looked at the belt and it looked as good as new. No cracking, no perishing, nothing at all. Only way we knew it hadnt been changed was that it had all the original "hamburger" nissan logos on it which Jim told me that it was an original factory belt from the time the car was built. I wish I had kept it as a memento it was that impressive.... However, I am glad I changed it ?

Magnificent Motors 2022 - 30th April & 1st May
Club application denied for the third year, not counting 2020 due to obvious reasons. (Complaint has been lodged and explanation requested) Can everyone that wants to show their car book an individual ticket on the website and if we all turn up together we should get parked all together in the centre show area...

Eastbourne Half Marathon 2022
Last Sunday the wife and I ran the Eastbourne half marathon. It was her 3rd or 4th time running that kind of distance and my first! She came into the living one day last summer while I was reclining on the sofa stuffing myself with something unhealthy. She announced that she had signed up for the EB half marathon, I said well done, you can do it and other assorted confidence building phrases. As she walked out the room, over her shoulder she said "Ive signed you up too". Bugger. Cut forward several months of parkruns (5km), running to, then doing, then running back from parkruns (16km) and training along the south downs with hills (5-15km), we (more so me) were ready (ish). Most I had run was 17km, so 21km was still a bit daughting! Anyway, we turned up and ran and ran and ran and ran, then we ran a bit more and finally after 2 hours 32 minutes I got across the finish line, wife was 2h34m! I wasnt worried about my time, I just wanted to make sure that I ran the whole thing and didnt give up, which I didnt so mission accomplished even with the massive steep hill up to near Beachy Head! Please excuse the photos, I am not photogenic at the best of times and running really doesnt help ?? Before: During: Sorry for the watermark, but I didnt fancy paying £20 for two photos of me looking like I had poo'ed myself. After: I urge you all to try running. I wouldn't say I enjoy it the same way as I enjoy watching rugby, driving my zed or playing PC games. However there is a sense of accomplishment and satifaction when you complete something and/or better your time. My first ever 5km parkrun was terrible, I had to walk parts of it and did it in 40-something minutes. I can now do it in 28minutes. Parkruns happen all over the world every Saturday at 9am. Its free to sign up & free to take part. Its not a race and you can run/jog/walk depending how you feel, no pressure. The people that go are really supportive and ive come to enjoy them every Saturday. Ive lost about 15kg since running. Check out parkrun here: https://www.parkrun.org.uk/
