I dont think she is going to be keen to go far in my mini with the present noise levels  she will be using her much quieter mini 40, but I need to get it sorted before i use it for the summer, we wanted to go to Brookland this year as we missed last year  |

Not if you can't hear her over the noise of the engine it won't

Thanks for the suggestions  Ive been into halfords they have a foiled back foam which I have fitted inside the weber box, and i am going to have to do the bulkhead behing the dash as it still a bit throaty, especially when you accelerate,  , i can also get ear plugs from work , luckly the missus has been in it yet, so i need to get it quieter before she does, as at the moment a long drive down to Devon may result in a headache me thinks |
|
|
| i can vouch for dynamat. it stops panels vibrating, so if you find its stil too noisy you should use the foam soundproofing over the top of it. |
|
|
| Oh how sad that story is Rita |
|
|
| Agree about Dynamat, very good but at a price. Car Audio Specialists are probably the people to talk to about this, although in the end it will most likely come down to a compromise between the level of sound deadening and the additional weight you're happy to incur. Hope this helps |
|
|
I've used Dynamat in the past which is very good not cheap but good.
THe GT sounds like it goes well looking forward to seeiing/hearing it soon |

victoria will be having some lesson during her free periods at collage, so that will help, hopefully. this instructor is willing to pick her up and drop her, where she wants, (with in reason). first school i rung would not come to our house, he said it was to far from the town. we want her to learn how to drive, not just, how to pass her test. wish you where nearer Rita 
Yes I wish I did too but she'll be fine, level headed and you guys to guide her.
I had a sad lesson today. 5 years ago I taught Ameera, a 23 year old pakistani girl,very sweet and nervous. It did not help one day close to the aftermath of the July London bombings on a lesson when someone pulled up alongside us and asked me if I was teaching her to be a suicide bomber? Ameera heard and it bothered us both. It scared me a little.
I then taught Ameera's husband and today I started to teach her sister. Having asked how Ameera was I at least was prepared, or was I?
Ameera had a brain tumour diagnosed 2 years ago, she had it removed but it has come back aggressively. Her family were told yesterday she only has weeks... Mercifully she is a little confused and is not aware as to how poorly she really is. When I knocked today, she heard my voice and struggled to get to the hallway. She remembered me and we hugged, she clung to me. They all live together so can help each other but are truely living with the problem. She looked awful, she fits and has had a type of stroke. I did not really know what to say or do but she laughed when I suggested I was open to blackmail to retard her sister of being quicker to learn than her.
Another valuation of life taken on board today. |

I'm pleased Jenniffer is progressing. How are you expected to dispose of crutches? What a financial waste.
I thought Victoria must be learning to drive by now. Try to get her in time to do lessons during the day where there are a few more hazards around (like Kev!), sundays can get boring. She'll find it hard to park a real mini after the luxury of power steering. I gave up with Krakatoa and let Andrew drive him now. I just tell him what to do.

| I saw Blake again today after an agreed little break. We did the complete test route he failed on and he was a little happier when today he saw the 3 one way traffic signs he missed on his test. The road includes a 90 degree, car width only kink in the road with the railway going over the top. He also missed the arrows on the road positioning him right. He said he was focusing on the arch too much. He has his next test booked May/June half term as he has exams. I've asked him to look for an Easter cancellation as he is so test ready. |

| On the subject of tickets the first 100 will be going out next week with a bit of luck. |
|
|
| When I had crutches I took them back to the hospital - they were placed in an area in the main reception - I was told to return them, don't know what happened to them but this was quite a few years ago now |

Jen has had her casts off today, and is on crutches, i said i will take them back on our appointment, but told to keep them as they are not aloud to re use them, something to do with heath and safty. Vic has started her driving lessons and is driving a new mini. next lesson on sunday, and is doing well, and enjoying it.

Yep, roller skates with Domino on a lead and me shouting "CAT" would probably do the trick.
ooh i don't recommend that at all - and that's the voice of experience talking...
there was me, skates, a dog. And then there was a me - bin - ground type interface going on..... oh the pain..... probably looked really funny though if you weren't the one flying through the air.... |
|

And probably an even longer walk back.
|
|
|
| like to see that, hehe might be worth £250 quid if we got it on film. |

When we get our invite to attend Grand Tour I try each year to beat my own record of opening, reading the rules signing it, writing cheque and envelope and for a change getting up to the corner of the road where the pillar box is, quicker than Domino. My best is 11 minutes.
Shock , horror last night. There was a notice on the pillar box saying they are moving it along the road. Another 3 minute walk. What can I do? Do you think they might have a re-think if I tell them why I need it close.
Kev surggest, Roller skates, skate board, or mobilty scooter!!!!!!!!!!!. |

How life has changed since I worked on the post office. They even did telegrams when I was there and I had to maintain their bikes along with the other vehicles they had. Morris Minors, Mini Vans, HA Viva vans etc life was exciting then now what have I got.
HA Vivas - that brings back memories.
My parents' first car was a 1965 HA Viva, which I learnt to drive in 10 years later. (As well as a Hillman Imp and Avenger at the driving school.) |

What a wonderful story - where did you find the box?
|
|
|
 you've got over a year to train - maybe you can add in the longer trip to the letterbox and match your previous best? |
