Yeah thanks Martin for changing my wheel - I thought the flag you kept with you for such an occurence also demonstrated good forward planning.

I'm a bit disappointed you don't appear to have made it out of the car park, and with that much space available you do seem to have spent a considerable amount of time finding a space. Mind you it must be a nightmare finding it when you do come back from lunch as everybody seems to have the same type of car.

looks like you had good weather for the day........

Look like hyundia owners club meet not an aduk day but hayhoo its how you use it not what you got.

Few points:

1) What page is that lot on in roadcraft?

2) With the light conditions headlights where a but much bit the front fogs was not advanced as visbility wasn't such that they where needed.

3) Mechanical sympathy seems to have gone out the window

:D

To the average driver 'safe' is not having accidents. To an advanced driver 'safe' is not being vulnerable to an accident.

1: Its on the invisible page
2: The order of the day was fashion faux pas statements
3: The cars were apologised to both before and after

As we didn't venture out onto the public highway, I'm not sure it comes under "Roadcraft" :lol:

Some cars demand less mechanical sympathy than others ;)

You got us on the foglights though and I'm sure the regulars will be birching themselves to repent :D

A new slogan springs to mind: "AD-UKer's - the 'Red Arrows' of the road." :lol:
