Just seen this advert, in your part of the World too, Ilminster. 71778F69-F478-4DCB-9752-46225E0FF25D.png I was just saying to Mrs SiC that I'm quite content with all the cars I have now and have no interest in getting anything else for a good while.

Re: 1979 Trouble Spitfire
Yes it fitted better that way and it doesn't move. I thought it was a better arrangement than the setup on it previously.

Re: 1979 Trouble Spitfire
I've been to this meet before but this time there seemed to be a good selection of different cars. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230510/fe96e1bb81a101161e2606a76dcba1f1.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230510/88a7514cc35c039f9f12ef3022cd5672.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230510/4...
