    Hi David

    All booked in for the 2 of us. I've paid £40 deposit and told the total is £260 so I suspect Norm must have a room with nice airbeds !
    Now where is Yorkshire !
    Who knows this could be the first trip for 20 years in the Allora, as at the present rate I'm finding two things broken for every one that gets fixed in the refurb, after its nearly 20 years "resting" under a sheet in the garage.

    Now that the SEC has experienced a recent plethora of IVA passes and a follow up wave coming along shortly, together with some re-commissions that are well in hand, those who are experiencing these 'Euphoric Moments' should be thinking of how to enjoy the driving experience of their pride and joy handy work.

    One very enjoyable way to do this would be to experience the joys of the Yorkshire Dales on the route that David J has planned for next June, based on a fellowship stay at Walworth Castle Hotel with likeminded fellow members.

    David has arranged a great package at very reasonable cost for the weekend stay at this super Hotel, take a look at the Castle web site, https://walworthcastle.co.uk/ and do come along and join us. The previous events have all been memorable fun. More details are given by David in the first post on this string.

    The roads in Yorkshire are fabulous for our Strati, you won't be disappointed. An experience that will lead to an enhancement of your appreciation of the uniqueness of the design of the car that you have built.

    Robin.

    Yeah, easy for you to say, the uniqueness being that I might have the car but I bl**dy can't get in it!!

    Surely you just flop into it. Getting out is the embarrassing bit.

    I can't just "flop" into a Stratos, cos 1) I'd hit my head on the top of the door opening going in, and 2) my name isn't Fosbury. However I have, recently, begun to develop a strategy that gets me in and out without resulting in too much hilarity....I'll give my knees 6 months

    I've found the best technique for getting out is to use your elbows - left one on the windscreen edge on the A-pillar and right one on the body "hip" just aft of the doorframe - plus accompanying groaning !
