Re: Cosmos Black Paint
Deni2s thanks for the info, the plate reads 668/9 which is black II according to your chart and non metallic. Which is not what it was advertised as when I bought it! Go change it now. Thanks again.

Went to a Alfa Romeo owners club day at Duxford around 10 years ago. It was a great day out with the museums and the Alfa stalls. Although not as sociable as our more personal meets. The Airpark meet as an excellent example! Seeing rare cars and planes is always a treat. Looking forward to more of t...

Anyone up for a Sutton on Sea meet in the not too distant future? will look into it a little more if enough interest shown. The usual meet at a local pub, or down on the front. Be a nice cruise, on the way there! Also, what about a Tealby meet / Cruise! really nice part of Lincs, got a nice pub too!...

Does anyone know if a cloudy rear window can be brought a little back to clear, or is it a forgone conclusion. Its Ok and can see through it, bit worse with the wind deflector up too lazy to take it off Ha-ha! Is replacement the only option?

The strange thing is: if they give the Scots who live in England the vote. It would probably go yes! As they have the best of both countries!

Yeah a cruise is a good idea, depending on the day & date. We have to think about those who have come from further a field, like Newark, Rotheram, might be better off finding a half way point for everyone to finish at. Then again if people are happy travelling that's fine.
