This weather is no laughing matter! However, forecast for Sunday is 18C (65F), with 60% chance of rain. I'm planning to take the Mantis to Ancaster as long as this forecast holds.

Regards . . . Ron McLeod

Hi Paul
I thought Ron was joking about the weather but it doesn't look good
right now..........how do you find the Webers for tuning, I just put
triples on my TVR ,I haven't road tested yet but expect to have to
fiddle with it a bit
Cheers Dave
