Hi Mark, You're right, things in Commerland are pretty quiet just at the moment. She sleeps her winter slumbers quietly decaying on her bed of wet grass. Rather like a shrine to happier, headier days of sunshine and tomfoolery and fun, she's exactly as I left her when I stumbled out of her on my return from Santa Pod in late October. Even the paper Ritazza latte beaker, which I purchased at Hatfield services on the A1, lies forlornly in the footwell just where it was hurled. God, doesn't February make one feel so maudlin... Still, roll on June and it'll all seem better. If anyone is feeling blue for the kiss of warm sun on their cheeks, then I recommend this site for bringing a little cheer to your life: http://www.commer.org.nz/index.htmlHaving said all that, only yesterday I picked up a new pair of front brake pipes bought off eBay for a tenner. I have now got everything I need to rebuild the arrester system. It was always a bit disconcerting wondering if there was sufficient fluid left in the master cylinder to complete a manouver once retardation was applied. I've been thinking of fitting a new one of these too: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5661900984&ssPageName=STRK:MEDW:ITSomething's bound to go wrong in the run up to departure, it always does, but I'm determined to catch it early this time. AZ PS Any news on next track day dates?

BUT wouldn't be sensible to have the MOT completed in April or May ![Grin](http://www.clubarnage.com/forum/Smileys/classic/grin.gif)

Steve, I think Gib's been curled up asleep in his nesting box in the back of the Commer these last three months. The sudden sunshine yesterday must have awoken him. I just hope he hasn't wet the bed! ![Wink](http://www.clubarnage.com/forum/Smileys/classic/wink.gif) Nice to hear from you Gib. Must have a planning beer soon.

Planning beer sounds good Andy, and no I did not wet the bed whilst nesting in the Commer. nice of you to let me stay while though ![Grin](http://www.clubarnage.com/forum/Smileys/classic/grin.gif)

Being another local lad, Maidenbower to be exact, can anyone come to the west sussex planning meeting where I presume, the finer points of commer motoring are discussed?
