Re: EU General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) as applicable to the forum

I have absolutely no idea what a phpBB is, nor a "vanilla" install, so it's all Chinese to me. I'm so glad I'm no longer in corporate management! Why does EVERYTHING in today's world have to be abbreviated? Peter phpBB is the forum software (see the bottom left of this page). Vanilla just...

EU General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) as applicable to the forum

EU General Data Protection Regulations 2016, to be complied with by 25th May 2018. The EU, in its wisdom, has created a law that is so widely crafted that it seems to apply to anyone who holds personal data on paper or on a computer.

Re: Regular DLOC Meetings

It's not the distance to area meets that I was commenting on, it's the late night driving in the dark with old weak headlamps and a belly full of beer. Sunday 11am would be a more sociable time.

Re: SP250 Tyre Choice Limited

I am finding the tyre choice limited to either re-mortgaging for 180HR15 Michelin XAS or having a 185/65/15 fitted. I have Dunlop wires on 5 1/2" K rims with 185/65/15 tyres at the moment. I have re-worked the front suspension on my Dart with new coils/shocks etc and now I have more space betw...
