Thanks.. Laneing is not something I do really, the old girl is my only ride so if I f# it up on a Sunday.... there's no work on Monday !

Have just finished replacing the front wings so it might stand up to some off roading now.

I completely understand where your coming from, i would have bought a classic myself if i had the time and money to maintain it properly. I liked the thought of the LSE but they go for so much money in good condition. (any classic does)

at the moment my D1 is the only car and the work tow motor but still push it to popping the rear springs out. really need some dislocation cones.
so long as the servicing goes well on saturday afternoon then I'm hoping to get to yarwell but if the servicing continues to sunday then it won't be worth going for a couple of hours so may request to meet you guys somewhere along a lane

Is true.... making more and more it seems.... if you find a half decent one and you don't mind spannering / grinding / welding ....then they can be quite cheep to run !
If you can't do any of the above then I shouldn't bother getting one

Time is something you need for doing up one of these.... that I can vouch for !
If you do find any where to lane this way of the world then let me now I might have a play... cheers.

Thats good to hear bud, sounds like all your hard works paying off.

taylonm · Nov 8, 2014

I've been looking at some lanes just around the corner from Stebbing a little village outside Braintree. If you want to meet in the town centre or something?
