Right well last night I took the clubby to Ace Cafe for the first time. I picked up my mate and we set off. Got in to London and got stuck in traffic and started to over heat. FAIL! I have an wing mounted electric fan somewhere in the garage so I'm gonna get that fitted so I can turn it on if it starts to happen again!



After letting it cool down I set of again and ended up getting a pretty dam good space.



and now the clubby as an Ace Cafe sticker to show shes been!



Also to carry on from my last update I did get the boot lid seal changed! Its now a bugger to shut the boot as its so stiff but the boot no longer leaks which is nice!

I think thats about it really. Thanks!

I got a similar sticker to the smoking one but reads...

Warning, this vehicle has no power at all. you may aswel take your clothes off now because hey, it'll be the only excitement you get in this vehicle today.

Right well were to start. I went to SMD over the weekend. I got stuck in the M25 traffic and ended up over heating twice! Boooooo.



So I just ended up sitting on the roof of my mates car for a while too let it cool down. As you do.



Anyway I arrived at 6 o'clock saturday morning and got a few hours kip before going down to the show. I didn't buy much at the show which is weird as I normally send to much. In fact the only thing I bought was a clip to hold my weather shield on as one fell off and a sticker.

Which I stuck on!



I did get to see a few people I'd not seen in a while and I recognized some of the cars off here so all in all a good weekend. Roll on MITP next weekend! Hopefully I shall buy a few more nice bits their! Thats about it really.

Thanks!

Yea I know what caused it to overheat. The fact the engine was running for a long time without moving anywhere so no cool air was getting to the rad. Gonna fit a electric fan on the wing to help this out soon!

Looking good jon. I fitted a metro fan in the inner wing to help with over heating and it made a good difference to traffic temps.

I bought one ages ago off a mate. I was gonna put it on my red car but took it off the road before I had the chance. May as well fit it to this as I have it.

I'v also had one of my new bits arrive in the post today. Shall have to wait and see what I'v got but its pretty SMART thats all I'm saying. I hope it will look good!

Dug this out the garage today!


Took bloody ages to find it. Need to clear out a load of mini stuff I don't need anymore.

Also thought it was about time to reveal my latest marmite plan!



Smarties print table cloth which I'm gonna turn in to a hand brake and gear stick gator. and when I mean I'm I actually mean my mum as I cant sow to save my life lol. I just need to find a gear sticker gator to use as a template. My see if I can find an old cheap one at MITP this weekend. Anyway I think thats about it for now. No doubt I will have an update after MITP with pics of all the bits I'v bought.

Thanks.

Yea I have seen that stuff. Not really sure where I would use it though. Plus I dont want to go over kill on it. I have another place I would like to use this depending how much is left over. I still have a load more marmite ideas up my sleeve yet though. Don't you worry about that!

[tom3112]

I think the smarties will look mint!
