Ah to Chris Cosher, good advice to bring the wellies, best item for tool kit is the debit card, when you arrive head to Malvern and look up Mr Simmonds, use debit card to buy an easy fit hood.
Practice putting it up and down and be ready for the rain
Over here with £ on floor, cheaper to buy tools when you arrive/need them, plenty of places to buy them and not all have gone bust yet.

A GB sticker is a requirement. As stupid as it seems.

Unless you have the EU symbol & country ID letters as part of your numberplate...

Interesting point, anyone know if the chrome shiny GB letters are legal - or whatever?
that is it is a requirement but how can it be law once you are out of juristriction? or is it a convention, or a derogation or what?

If you do not have an oval sticker of approved dimensions, this may help!  You may, if you wish, display the Euro symbol and GB national identifier on the number plate. This will get rid of the need for a separate GB sticker when travelling within the EU.
The symbol must meet the EC Council Regulation 2411/98 which states that:
the height must be a minimum of 98mm;
n the width must be a minimum of 40mm (maximum
of 50mm);
the background must be of retro-reflecting blue
with 12 retro-reflecting yellow stars at the top; and
the distinguishing sign of the Member State (GB)
in retro-reflecting white or yellow.
New joints for old!

Oh and a flat pack rad (from IKEA I suppose in matching black) not sure why it has to be someone's dad either but expect it goes well with the Dellow half shaft.

Chris
Morgans are selling very fast over here at my local dealer, the salesman looks harassed, they are not even making the website before sold, some nice cars have come and gone before I could blink but fortunately there are a few about.
Are you a club member and do you get Miscellany?
