Working at Silverstone this weekend, helping run this in the 24hr race. Friday night qualifying and practice put us starting 3rd in class. An official instructing us wrongly saw us being made to start from the pitlane 4 1/2 hours in now….

The C1 is a great little car - we got our Sophie a very low mileage one. She absolutely loves it and has already crashed it

Now has a 'rash' on the front bumper. But it goes really well when you wind up that 3 cylinder engine

Yep, don’t make mistakes very often but at least drilling them pre skim if anything is amiss it’s just unscrew a board and find the cable plasterers don’t mind and the finish isn’t compromised so Its win win really. Also saves chalk line on fresh plaster, which is a pig to paint over!

I’ve used plaster in ones for first time

Very easy to do

Would these be good round the perimeter of a room? Often get a settlement crack between wall and ceiling and these lights would avoid that. Suppose its hard to get the edge of the light to line up perfectly with skim. Do they come with stop beads attached?

its complicated it was group of 4 mates with 2 on road bikes, originally their plan was 2 doing road and 2 doing the trails meeting up every few days -other bloke doing trails had a couple of falls and was banged up so decided to do roads only - so they have gone off as a 3 and im on my own, michelin trackers and low gearing is woefull over 90kmh so had to be done - love it but as you know you got to take a bit more care !

yes of course, you wire them in working before plastering but no hunting for them afterwards and plasterer found them much easier than tales even on my big ceiling which he did in 1 hit in 1 day 76m2 of it

that's the led around the sky light for the dinning table below but you can get LED coving etc ive used that I my garden room these are 50mm plaster in led tracks but you can pretty much get any detail you want but its the round spots which are the plaster in type I was referring to

the leds run of transformers are are wired from a bank of them, on touch dimmer switches
