Try the reading room at the National Army Musuem chelsea, they have a lot of stuf tucked away.

Buy a good set of Goretex! :-D If you persist in trying the impossible. A good heavy roofing paint will work.

Frost's do a lovley little piece of kit that replaces the positive battrey terminal. There is a screw in brass plug to make contact when you want to use it. No holes in the body, hiden nicley away. For modern vehicles there is a 10 amp fuse to keep things live.

They used to have a small show there some years back. Quite easy to find well signed.

Cheers Marty.

:rofl::rofl:He knows me to well!

Hi Roberto! I think you are the first Basque representative on the site. Jelaous as hell of your drawing skills.

To bloody right mate! Passengers should be aginst the rules! It was a Mr Kipling shift, every trip a fruitcake! :shake:

Was sunny today in London till about 15:00 then in came the fog. Visibility now about 20 feet and the rear view mirrors icing up. Got off the bus and scraped the ice of the back of the mirrors.

Marty, are the books published in English?

As a kid we had one at the stables with a trailer fitted. Very powerful would pull five or six of us through a hedge, and frequently did. Can you imagine the uproar of letting kids do things like that now?

A LOOOONG time ago I was working for Godfrey Davis Hire Cars at Heathrow. A brand new X suffick Renault tractor unit with transporter was delivering cars ready for christmas rush. In the general ho ha a Ford Cortina estate got stuck on the transporter. Don the chief mechanic came to the rescue. While he was working underneath, the rest of us giving encouragement a well spocken lady of a certain age came up to us peered at Don who was under the trailer and said 'Excuse Me'. Don looked up and replied 'Not now darling I'm very busy' . 'Oh but it is important replied the gallant soul' Don sighed 'Well what is it?' 'I think you'd like to know, your lorry's on fire'. The driver had fitted a twelve volt radio cassete on a single tap. My advice a proper well fused converter.

Snapper it died in style! Plus you are now the only person to put a bonnet in orbit. :yay:

I like it though, a definite head turner.

Good collective noun 'A Trouble.

Oh Thor!! Welcome to the mad house, just bad luck being near the Pank of Power don't forget to take Pledge and a duster when you visit.

Be careful Dear, the Dodge owners are out!.:cool2:

Just got in from a late shift 23:15 Chuffing cold out there, also seem to be a lot of people hobbling about on crutches. :cool2: TFL putting out black ice warnings, bless them, they've finally looked out the window!

Prices seem to have dropped considerably, I've just got a pair of 60amp heavy duty fro the 101 at £105 the pair.

Glad to hear about no experiments :-D There is an idea in UK called 'Bangernomics' The idea is buy an older privatly owned reliable make of a good make such as Volvo or Mercedes, under £800. Do most of the work yourself and if anything goes seriously wrong, just dump it. Don't know what things are like for you but currently bigger older cars over here are going very cheap.

This is a loss to the movment. Chataham has become a regular fixture, hopefully it will carry on as a memorial.

Joris any idea you may have of experimenting with 11 year old cars? FORGET IT MATE!!!!!! One try is enough. :nono: Though so saying, somebody tryed clipping the front of my Volvo at about 50mph whilst trying to leave a dual cariageway. The Volvo rocked slighty and has a crease in the front wing. The other car a FIAT went bowling off in all directions. Fortunatley no one hurt.

Wasn't it BSAA's Tudour that appeared out of a glacier in South America? Star Ariel, if I remember right.

You lucky ****$%^&*$$££ !! If you need any info on specific places or bits you know where I am.
