    Flip, you might want to consider Blockley Tyres:

    Cheers Willy, tip appreciated, I never place in gear when on the trailer but hadn't thought about it being more important with a straight cut gearbox, always good to be aware.

    Regarding tie down straps I had tried the more modern type which run over the top half of the tyre, but on standard Midget tyres they were nowhere near as secure as the wrap around type.

    I think that's circa what P James charged me last year.

    Fully comp, unlimited miles, inc' uk eu breakdown.


  • Flip Brühl02 March 2026

    I'm going to buy new tires. I rarely drive on circuits and mostly on highways, 6,000 km/year. My Uniroyal Rain Expert 2 tires were fine, but they're too old and worn around the edges, where entire blocks disappeared after track use. My research is focused on Continental e-contact 6 tires. Are there any better ones?

  • C Mee02 March 2026

    My renewal quote from Adrian Flux was £132. An increase on last year but it does include all modifications, albeit they are relatively mild.

    Before paying I phoned to let them know about my Sprite's new fast road cam, expecting them to bump it up but they kept it the same.

    Three drivers listed, self, Mrs M (who will never drive it but the insurers said to keep her on) and my son...

  • Daniel02 March 2026

    I paid £243 last renewal but some years ago my insurer no longer loaded the policy 100% for modifications. They also didn't increase my annual premium when I crashed it many years ago. So, while I could shop around for cheaper insurance I don't bother. So your quote doesn't seem too bad.

  • anamnesis02 March 2026

    Lol. Yep above my pay grade now Guy.

    Younger 'smarter' generation to the rescue. 😅😅


    That said, what you want isn't run of the mill. Advanced use of Excel. The kind of thing that always needed special routines to achieve I think.

    As I said they could be earlier, the straits of hormuz are now effectively shut.

    Iran has pressed that button. And they are lashing out wildly at their own neighbour's, alienating any potential support and sympathy they might otherwise have had.

    Global gas prices are rising.

    I dont think that really works, Anamn. I would still need a means of hiding or selecting the irrelevant rows in the new worksheet, which is exactly the problem I already have. Its further complicated by needing an automated presentation where I can change the selected grid square references for successive samples. I have that step sorted and it works neatly.

    There is already the standard ...

  • T Mason02 March 2026

    The reality of this is that the US doesnt need to use Fairford or Diego Garcia as the B2 bombers can go direct from the US as they have already done and stay in the air indefinately with air to air refuelling although Diego Garcia is easier logistically and usually has B2s based there.
