Well, foks. It's too early to know for sure, but it now looks like I might be able to get to the Open Day after all. If so I am actually thinking that I might bring my Drum Car along as lots of people have been asking to see it in action. The only problem is that it uses 2 car batteries to power it, and mine are both shot. I do not intend to buy 2 new ones just for one event, and I have no other outings planned for it this year. If anyone can bring an old battery with any power at all I should be able to get it going for a bit of fun. Hope I CAN make it, Marcus
