Just installed a new fire extinguisher ready for scrutineering tonight. There is a huge pile of stuff in the dining room waiting to be loaded up and we are setting off just after midnight for a 3,38 am start on the Edinburgh trial. We should be able to pop up some live posts from the mobile, we'll see what we can do.

Well Burton Dasset went well. Lauren was excellent, scoring 173 points at the end of the day. My score was 141, remember the fewer the points the better your score! The maximum score would have been 336. We both cleared a couple of sections and Lauren beat me on one section.
There are some more excellent Dave Cook pictures here

Once I get the ones Oliver took I will post those somewhere we can see them too.

Just had the final instructions for The MG Car Club Autumn Trial on 28th. Lauren and I are both driving, so the Skoda will get a thorough workout before the Edinburgh the following weekend.
We have a start time for the Edinburgh, 3:28 am from Tamworth. We have decided not to stay in Derbyshire but to drive home again on the Saturday evening as Lauren has an Operatic Society event she wants to go to on Saturday evening. Will put the in car cam in for Burton Dasset so you can all see and hear lauren and I falling out over the driving instruction.

Well the carb is back on, our entry for the Edinburgh has been accepted, we are doing class 0 again, and I have found a roll cage to go in. The roll cage is from one of Andy Corner's old rally Skodas, its a bit rusty but some hammerite and kurust will have it ready to go in.
The carb was full of crap again so I have now added another fuel filter between the electric pump and the carb. This means there is now a sedimenter pump between the tank and the mechanical pump, an inline paper filter between the mechanical pump and the electric pump and a paper filter between the electric pump and the carb. If crap appears in the carb again it must be being teleported there by aliens. the guy who dismantled and cleaned the carb said the crap looks like ash from a fire and asked if the Skoda had been burnt at any point in its life.
Our Tin Award from the Land's End has turned up. It has mine and Lauren's names on it, which is unusual for an MCC trophy, but I asked specially. I'll take a picture of it and post it on here.
