Off to sunny LA

Well, they're not too expensive for me, but they are expensive for what they are if you get me.

Yeah, I know what you mean. But, as you also know, cheap ends up expensive

Also, individually, they aren't too bad, it's just that I need so many

Leave for LAX in 3 hours. Had to pay for an extra case in order to get my stuff, along my son's Audi S3 manifold and my friend's Nitrous kit. Also all three of us have max'd out the cabin luggage allowance

You are dead right, I buy all similar stuff from the US of A, they are the best.

Flight delayed for 2 1/2 hours. Original plane was sruck by lightning on approach to Heathrow so they had to find a spare! Hand luggage was checked due to Accusump cylinder, but no problems. Finally took off at 0020h. Flight was not full as some people had to get different flights in order to make connections. Only took just over 9 1/2 hours due to favourable tail winds.

On emptying suitcases at home the one with the nitrous cylinder had also been checked

Only 2 weeks of work left before I retire and csn start to work on the car seriously

Just compared prices on the fuel hose unions. Saved just over £100 and got better fittings.

Nice, Hows it feel to be back in good old Blighty? I bet our heatwave has really caught you out

Gosh, it is very sticky over here.

For the first 3 weeks we had LA June Gloom with the sun breaking through after 3pm. However, this was fine for folliclly(?) challenged types like myself. Temps were also higher in UK.

Last week was hotter, but being so dry it is a far more comfortable heat than here.

I was only joking really! So we have had better weather in the UK!

For the first couple of weeks UK temps were higher than LA's. However, it was still T-shirt weather for us Brits.
