  1. As with a lot of things I guess the broadcasting companies pay a pretty hefty annual licence fee for use of images - bit like O.S. Maps licensing.
  2. OK Jack I'll have to eat my words and acknowledge that Rick's idea is a good one. Have just looked at images for this town and the quality is really good - but the viewing angle is a bit high as you can see. Also no idea on permitted reproduction of this data:
  3. Street View images tend to be from a higher viewing position (have you seen those cars with a radar dome thing on a pole on the roof?). It might work ok though, worth a try at least!
  4. I think the inferior quality would totally spoil any 'before and after' effect. Get yourself on a ferry and take some schnapps snaps.
  5. Reminds me of an old film - KILLDOZER! :shocked:
  6. Look at all those port holes - I didn't know subs had port holes :laugh: :banana:
  7. Well this morning I finally remembered that I've done a John Deere since the GMC, and it was that pulley which will come off :n00b:
  8. ISTR a set of photos of this incident were put on here with full details - check the Constructor thread (maybe 2008/9 that'll keep you busy for an hour or two :cool2:).
  9. No idea what it is, but may be of interest to someone? http://www.cheffins.co.uk/lot/-592252-vintage-0
  10. My fault - I jacked up the GMC to change a wheel last week, but the spare was flat. Still sits there holding up the truck, will return to clubhouse workshop asap. Oh you mean that Jack....
  11. If it weren't for the gun sticking out of the transmission it might be feasible? :cheesy:
  12. I really want to see the looong bonnet on the top vehicle - it'll look like a crocodile when up!!!
  13. Here's one not so serious!
  14. And there's me spending hours pumping air into big tyres trying to get rid of those bulges :red:
  15. Now I much prefer that to this open cockpit one!
  16. Here you go, Andy: Did you realise they came back to a dump on Teeside? See extract from article below. I have a 30t excavator on standby Amazingly it looks like the only radiation found was from luminous dials in military vehicles :undecided: THESE photographs show for the first time the full scale of the clean-up operation at a remote Pacific island which led to hundreds of tonnes of waste from British nuclear bomb tests being dumped on Teesside. The military carried out the secret detonations of hydrogen bombs at Christmas Island in the 1950s. Half a century later the UK reached agreement with the nation now known as the Republic of Kiribati to return and remove all waste abandoned after the tests. Hundreds of tonnes of scrap metals, asbestos and radioactive sand were then collected and shipped back to Britain, where they were buried at the Port Clarence landfill site on the north bank of the Tees opposite Middlesbrough. Local residents spoke of their shock when it was revealed that the material had been dumped at a site close to their homes, but the Environment Agency, the Ministry of Defence and landfill operators Augean stressed the waste poses no risk to the public. They maintain that low levels of radioactivity detected in the load came from luminous dials found in abandoned military vehicles, and not from the bomb blasts.

  17. How low can you get? Well I know it ain't a plane and it ain't military, but I had to smile Off topic - sorry!!
  18. Waiting - been waiting a long time :cry:
  19. The fan is balanced, and designed to give just one gap 2 gaps :blush: between blades large enough to get a greasy hand through :laugh:
  20. Unless my memory is playing tricks, with the fan blade bolts out you should be able to give the pulley and hub a sharp tap and remove it? More room will result. I'd forget the slot, use the hex somehow (ring spanner with good offset or socket with pulley off). Oh the joys of doing a job the first time - or so long after you did it before that you've forgotten how to do it :rofl:
  21. I am just going out to the workshop - I may be some time....................
