- Our final visit of the day was The Funicular Lift of Strepy-Thieu.
this is one of the largest boat lifts in the world. Similar sized water filled cradles to those used in the Sloping lock are lowered or raised over 240feet / 73 metres. Building was completed in 2002 at which time it was the tallest in the world.

We then went and visited The Sloping Lock at Ronquieres.

This is engineering on a massive scale. The boats literally come up and down the hill in giant water filled cradles on rails.

Day 1

we visited the Waterloo Battlefield Memorial 1815. The wind was a bit too strong to take a hike up the monument.

🙂

Short instruction – just click on Visual (just over to the right of the Text Area (looks like a filing cabinet folder tab). Then click on the little camera icon (to the right of the little smile in a circle), then follow instructions as you see them.

Paul Roper mentioned this recently on Facebook, so I think I might try and watch it before we head over to the Isle of Man in May 2018.

Event Listing

I’m just putting the final touches to the Club Tour Newsletter which I’ll send out in the next couple of days 🙂

If anyone is interested in an alternative approach, which retains the original Veneer, then please take a look at this Article written by member Roger Farmer @roger

Hi Chris @christopherknoerdel

Maybe Robin @woodsmoke or Stephen Heywood @stephen-heywood will be able to offer you some advice, or certainly to point you in the right direction.

Do you still have your XJ-SC Cabriolet – is that a different Ignition system.

Cheers,

Laurence

Hi Roger @roger ,

Thanks for sharing your news.

Im sure lots members will be interested in hearing more about the LPG conversion. I’d like tonneau to, though to be honest the car that might benefit it most (my V12 XJS Convertible) is the one I can’t do it to, as we take it to Europe through the Tunnel – LPG is banned on Eurotunnel.

Please do let me have an article about the veneer restoration – membership@xjs-soft-tops.com and I’ll publish it for everyone to read.

Hi John @geeegafaaol-com

I’m starting to plan Club Meet Ups for 2018 and I was wondering whether your Convertible was in the process of being restored or is on the road and might be brought along to a meet up.

Hi Tony @dtony1964

Can you give us some more details – is it that the hood (roof) doesn’t reach the top of the windscreen and you have a gap and have to pull the hood into place ?

Thanks,

Laurence
