  1. I have got to say, i was thinking the same about the tumble drier........ Even though our's is vented to an outside wall, you still get moisture inside and it is in the house..... Altough an unheated room. Tony.
  2. Spot on with that Iain, better off not starting it unless it goes for a good run. Tony.
  3. Amazing use's for chicken wire........ Expanding foam is more secure NOT!! At least it is getting done right now. Tony.
  4. It looks as though it was just wrapped in tin foil, or maybe not as i am sure tin foil would last longer Tony.
  5. I voted leave...... Get that bottle cracked.... Over my head?
  6. Like dissapeering up one's own exhaust.......
  7. What will you be taking on RBRR Sam? You should see what my mate Bruce is taking for his Stag Tony.
  8. I was just surprised at the amount of kit in there.... Head gasket, valves, rocker gasket, carb gaskets, hoses plus loads of other bits that you could not fit at the roadside. Usually you got a few bulbs and warning triangle. Tony.
  9. Has anyone seen one of these before??
  10. So..... Retired people are deviants now???? Tony.
  11. Retirement in a nutshell Pete........(hazlenut)? It's great, no time for that four letter word now Tony.
  12. The Marina also went to the press........ Better known as the crusher.. Tony.
  13. I know when they brought the Dolomite Sprint out, the first 250 went out as press cars. Tony.
  14. I have tasted squirrel.....Very nice as well, no droppings as the gun scared the s**t out of it first Tony.
  15. It is the sun's ray's Mark. Mine was ok if wet in the garage. Tony.
  16. Hi Mark, Pete is right, you need an old style hard wax. I sent an email to mer about this problem and they were great explaining modern wax's contain a chemical called "Naptha" that reacts on certain paints. They told me to strip old the old wax's off the paint using white spirit or similar, but to test on an small area first to make sure it does not remove the paint They then told me to buy G3 professional supergloss paste wax, which i did. It did take ages to do but the results were fantastic... And then i had no more problems It seems this "naptha" attacks paints at random as i have used mer for many years with no problem. I dont think colour matters as my car was light blue. I hope this might solve your problem. I dont think the G3 finish will solve the problem? But you could try emailing Farecla and ask if it has "naptha" in it. Keep us all posted Tony.
  17. Has the paint been "polished" ? If so, what type of finishing polish did you use? I had this a while ago with "celly" paint and had the same reaction. Tony.

  20. I have seen holes drilled in the drum a few times.... Similar to the moggy brakes. Tony.
  21. Hi Ian, You could always buy the spares you need in advance and keep them "in stock" as they dont go off and will never loose value. Tony.
