The image linking option doesn't work if it's on your own PC - need to get it hosted on something like Photobucket, and then enclose the link to that between the img tags

Oh well, never mind the pics now...

I'll be down again in Cornwall next weekend from Friday through to Sunday (as it's half term! Yippee).

Need to sort a small leak off the pipes on the regulator valve before I come down though!

Well, obviously we didn't get to meet up, sorry about that...

Had to get towed back from Cornwall as I think the hydraulic regulator has popped a seal! :cry:

Pizzling out from the top, tried to tighten the bolt slightly but it just got worse!

Will be down again at Chrimbo, sorry I didn;t see you....

Cheers Paul, sorry I didn't get to see you either. I will be down next probably chrimbo time so we will have to meet up then.

The car's going to a specialist up here next week, there's no hurry to get it fixed, but it sound like the main pipe (12mm bolt off the top of the regulator) has popped it's seal and will need replacing.

Still, it was worth it for the journey down, check this out...

310 miles. A27, A31, A35, A30, M5, A30, A391

Covered in 3hr 19mins.

Brighton to ST. Austell 2hr 48mins (270 miles).

Brighton to Dorchester 1hr 15mins.

Max Speed 143mph (on the limiter) on the A30.

47-ish litres of Super Unleaded used. It's worth it!

Of course I may have read the speedo wrong, it may have been 143kmh, and I was in 3rd all the time! :wink:
