Measured the battery with a meter prior to driving to Brill, after the car stood since Thursday evening. 12volts exactly.

This is connection with a couple of false alarms going off on start up.
The Mill, at Brill, on the Hill?

Lovely place on a nice day. Grim as hell when the weather is shite...

...the Pheasant, by the windmill. Stunning views. But windy today. Hence the windmill :)

Lovely food.
IIRC, that used to be a decent pub before food became more important than drink :(

We last about 2.45

Just missed you then, we got there about 3pm as I was at work until 2pm. We walked round there as it's not far from my lads place. As you said, bit windy.  :y
Sorry we missed you. Small world as you say.
I imagine Brill to be a bit of a mare in winter though....? :-\
Oh I don't know. 18yrs old, £1m liability insurance, a little yellow van with Titish Brelecom written on the side, and about 6" of snow. What could possibly go wrong ::) ;D

Happy days.

Sign of the times... There's still a good drinking culture there though, going by the patrons on the balcony at half time last time we where there ;D older, and obviously well off though, of course.

As the locals say, "different world up here".  ;D
His 4X4 truck comes in handy for the hills in winter though.  :y

Oh, and for a place so high up the phone reception is crap.  ;D

You may remember when you had to stand in a little square pit to throw the darts, as the ceiling was low and people used to stick them in the wooden beams.  ;D ;D

Now that's nice Sir Philbut. Good job. :y

Is it like a wrap, or a vinyl?

I can't make up my mind if I like that or not Sir Philbutt, but that does look to be a first class job, fantastic :y

Was it difficult, or just fiddly? And how long did each bit take?

That looks good, not far off the pre-facelift MV6 look. Top workmanship there, I think you could do a little company there by people shipping them to you and being wrapped  :y
