It looks like the first official Spanners and Sponges of the year may be this weekend or next depending if everyone goes off to Duns for the Jim Clark do
Main interest will be that FD intends to change his Elise clutch and Cambell's car must need a clean by now
Usual 9:00 till 9:00 times both Saturday and Sunday
and on a webcam near you

Would have popped over, but I believe I've got a full weekend's 'maintenance' taken care of, for mine

Excuse the ignorance, but where (or what) is Duns? I'm about this weekend, where will the S&S day be? I have my own spanner and sponge if that helps....

Duns is pretty much down the A1, turn right. In borders land.

Thanks, whats going on there this weekend? Or have I missed it being in a secure compound, insulated from the real, big and scary world outside guarded by men with guns? (Actually, yes I have....

No use to you until you get a car

You can wash mine if you want Tom.....
Or even take it to bits if you really want, bound to be something to fix.
I know you can fix the handbrake cable rattling against the undertray (Again...!)

For Colin's sake Rich surely you know Duns? Jimmy will be turning in his grave at such sacriligeous ignorance.
Actually I have no idea what it is this weekend, but it will revolve round ACBC's best driver

Spanners came about in a bid to help folk learn more about their cars working parts, sponges were added by Campbell after lunch.

OK got Jim Clark, but Duns? Nope, Sorry Colin (Chapman?*)
Been Googling and it looks like it is the 40th anniversary of JC's death at Hockenheim
*I'M JOKING! HONESTLY! PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!

Where is S&S then? I know which end of a spanner to hold and I'm a dab hand with a hammer
I have even used a sponge, once, a long time ago.
I'll load up the Liz with stuff and I'll come along if someone will disclose the location....
