Plastic bags full of sand works too.

Its a shame Tony- I practically gave a 35 away a couple of months ago!

Its fabulous work but I hope they dont push her too far- I think she is unsound at high speeds, and certainly when slowing down. Another accident is waiting to happen. Its a treasure.

Thank you both. Sorry the thermostat went faulty and we all fried a bit...beer was cold though.

Thanks Dave. Sorry for the inconvenience.
