No I had a30" chrome (even then!) one which had a loaded coil half way along and mounted with a wing nut clamp so you could fold it down.

Right thats it... anybody who wants to come along to my little run outs.. Will have to sign a legal form that will take you weeks to read and small print so small even a laser printer will have an issue printing it so its readable.. The aforementioned legal form will make the person signing the above aforementioned form fully liable for anything I so wish.. an that could be a lot.. It will also exclude all runs to the meeting point.. @Lee Somethings just can't be covered. @billz you might fall into that aforementioned clause above which will stop the organiser of the said event, covered by the aforementioned form signed by the person who is attending to cover the organiser of the event from any thing he / she feels needs covering.

Right.. who's turn is it to buy the coffee.. and sign the bloody form.

On a serious note, Do you think we will have to inform the boys in Blue that we are meeting and having a run out ? and when will we have to have insurance for the public in addition to what we all already have ?

Seems a bit over the top to me Paul, as this is not an (official) car club us such.......

@hard top It was a like hearted joke.. We as a nation are getting so OTT its getting stupid. Was discussing a supposed infringement of a Toll charge on the Dartford Crossing last week.. When I wanted to argue the point.. Oh we can't tell you that date as its covered by Data Protection.. Hold on.. Its what date did I not pay.... can't tell you that. its covered by Data Protection.. So when I read the first post.. its getting stupid.. what ever happened to just meeting up and having a laugh over a coffee and a bite of food and having a run together in our cars.. I have done loads of last minute meet ups.. due to the UK weather.. take the photo shoot under the pink lights.. that was less than 36 hours..

All good I hope Mike.

@hard top The Police are clamping down with convoys of cars traveling between two locations together. West Midlands have banned such groups totally to stop car meets. Sad..

It's going global these days, imposing stupid rules instead of using common sense. As long as the cars in line are not impeding other vehicles from pulling over what's the harm. I've always found that under those circumstances people are more compliant than when by themselves. JIM

Glad I live over here then, there are 40 + cars on cruises a few times a year and a local bar does a "challenge" for all makes and models that had 120 cars this year.
