Revised the flyer template to include some of the more recent trips, a version of this usually sits on the windscreen at Stoneleigh. The map in interactive form is on the Road Trips Page.

LED Tail lights
Categories:
lights
A little for the sake of it - but also a general effort to reduce power consumption at low revs. I especially get short on juice with all lights on and engine on tick-over - eventually I'll start to lose stable idle as the voltage drops and typically it happens at the end of a long drive in city stop/start situations.
First step - easiest step is some replacement LED tail lights. Offically marked for off road only - so I'll run a few tests until I'm comfortable running them permanently.
The P21/5W compatible bulb has no trouble with the exact same location - all round illumination and in line with the normal reflector. I purchased a red led one so shouldn't have any issues of white light bleed through.
The central ring of LEDs lights for when the main headlamps are on, all 3 rings light with the brakes.
Not scientific - but comparing LEDs on the right, and normal filaments on the left there doesn't seem to be much in it so installed on both sides. Hopefully helps my voltage/current budget into the bargain.
Headlamps are next - but thats a slightly more complex mod.

Cake Day pictures!

My birthday rather than GN13's.
This picture was commissioned and printed as a present from my wife.
Love it!
It even has my bonnet badges, vents and wind deflector details.
Perfect spot for it in the hall.
No kick-backs to me, but if you want a copy of the above or to contact the artist - all the information can be found on RedBubble - 3pedaldriving.
