They worked until the switch went faulty, changed the switch (which I think is a good one from the colour before you changed the complete bank of switches) Also a new one didn't rectify the fault though it works fine in the selecta.
Just looking at the 5-day forecast, I think we may need our wellies and waterproofs!
Unfortunately I cant make this now guys. Ill see you at the next one though!

Quick weather update:
T-shirt and shorts are no go, we can expect sub zero temperatures at the higher grounds and cold wind so please have some warm wind proof cloths to guaranty pleasant time and drive.

They were the only place offering family rooms but I'm sure there'll be a nearby parking solution.
Stickers have arrived - which is good, but. -I've mucked up the measurements so they're very small, unfortunately.
However I've got loads, so everyone can have a few to compensate.
Sorry.
Happens to the best of us mate!
( Anyone confused should go here
)On the plus side, they do look awesome - wish I was coming

We'll save you some stickers and I hope Ula will share some of her usual great shots, next week.
Final, final, timetable and route decisions have now been made by the committee. - So be ready for a short walk to an interesting (well, we liked it) place of industrial history on Saturday. - Nothing too arduous.
And we've got another non-Fiat interloper in the convoy, standing in for Sean's stalled 'Pony Arena Panda'. Which should be interesting.
I'm getting excited.

I've lost a radiator support rubber/plastic bung thing from one side if anyone has a spare please.
I should be able to help with the rad support.
Took Panda for a run tonight as not been used properly since NEC. Shakedown test shook down the alternator. Tomorrow's challenge is to find one or get one refurbed.. Inevitably mk1 is different to FIRE.
Fault may be elsewhere in circuit as swapped for a spare tonight. Problem is I have no history on spare. Easiest answer is auto elec place first thing.
Looking forward to Saturday nonetheless!

Eek!
This takes me back to push starting the trials car. - Should we bring some spare batteries to rotate just in case?

Would the 900 pandas, Uno, Fiorino or Seat Fura, Ibiza, Marbella or even Yugo be the same?

Could this be the first 4x4 event featuring snow? It's looking increasingly likely!

Can someone post the time and postcode of the meeting place as blackpoolish won't make the sat nav app happy.
Well a brilliant day 1 was had yesterday, amazing scenery and fantastic driving roads - the weather's been glorious as well plus we've seen snow!
We've had a good few mishaps, the luckiest escape was Jacob kolza losing his nearside rear wheel whilst we were on the dual carriageway on the way to the meet point, he skillfully bailed into the parking bay which was right next to him and clearly designed for the job! We've sadly had to say goodbye early to David aquamarine as he's had throttle cable and linkage issues, he successfully bodged it with elastic bands bought from the Post Office before making his retreat home while there was still light and good weather. Sam's gear linkage got damaged on a rock so we had to repair it in a "full" national trust car park amongst ramblers and sheep, on the point of leaving we became detached from John panda panda but he'll be joining us again for Sunday's route.
Other highlights were; interupting a couple of what can only be described as doggers in a BMW aside the mountain pass, completely blocking roads and car parks several times with our breakdown/repair strategies, and also the "industrial feature" - an amazing cave!
A decent meal and a few pints at the Station Inn, Hexham last night, an acceptable nights' sleep and on with day two...
