I've just been hit by a Virus

My computer at home has just been hit by a Virus. It came in on the e-mail address that I use in conjunction with the web site so it may have come from one of you guy and girls and as you know the sender generaly doesn't know they are infected. Fortunately my Norton stopped it on this occassion.
 
The terrible thing is that the e-mails appeared to come from Microsoft. One was titled "Current Security Pavck from MS Security Support" the other "Newest Network Critiacl Update from MS Corperation Public Services".
 
 
If you don't have any Virus protection on your computer you can get your system checked out for free at  Symantec Security Check

Are Smarts to be banned?

I know a couple of guys were looking at trialling Smarts. The theory being good power to weight ratio. As they have 15 inch wheels ground clerance would be easily raised with high profile tyres. However, I have heard today that the MCC are probably going to ban them on safety grounds as they may tip over backwards to easily!

Edinburgh Trial 2003

Reality has dawned - John Aley has sent me the electronic route card so I know its all for real!!!
 
Not done this Trial before and need some advice on overnight accommodation. Need somewhere within walking (carrying?) distance of the Pavilion Gardens for the Club Supper. It will be for Trish and we hope to stay over to make it a long weekend as neither of us know the area so would like to do some exploring on the Sunday/Monday assuming I survive the Trial!
 
Any advice welcomed.

PressureWashers

I had the front (disc) brakes on my Beetle sieze on while on the way to Strouds anniversary trial last year. At the time I changed the calipers and finally got round to looking at the old ones last week.
 
The problem ones weren't that old, around 4 years. When I took them apart I saw that the cylinders were corroded outboard of the sealing ring. The bores inboard of the seal (where the brake fluid sits) and the pistons were fine.
 
The protection seal was fine, no holes and seated properly. I believe that water got in when using a pressure washer to clean down. I am a bit religious with this and jack the car up and take the wheels off to clean underneath. No more pressure washing for me!
