  3. I wish I'd had one of those previously - would have saved a lot of time hunting in the depths of the garage for suitable thick washers when trying to sort out damage to Fiestas and Novas owned by my lot !!! Yes that`ll certainly help. Cheers
  4. The father in in law has had his drivers door lock screwdrivered. It doesnt seem like the poor misunderstood souls who need more of our understanding, actually got into the car but the lock is a bit wobbly and pulled out. Has anyone got any quick fix suggestions for this? (the lock that is, not the scumbags) Thanx
  5. Mine was a Triumph Herald 1300. Got it for £50 but Mum said I wasnt old enough to drive at 16 and wanted the garage back. She made me sell it for £15 to a collector. Deffo have it back. When I was old enough it was a single wheelbase transit 1600. errrm no I wouldnt.

    Dip Stick

    Dip stick measures where the surface of the oil is. Doh! Yes it does. Quite obvious when you think about it

    Aeroscreens

    Havn`t used a bike helmet yet, but i know that after maybe 1.5 hours motorway driving, or like in the picture.. 14 minutes in February. I would be happier with one. I personally think an aeroscreen adds excitement to the experience, though after a while I do get knackered. Originally I wanted to go for screens and side screens but now I wouldnt change it. This time of year (rain not included) Good sunglasses, and lightweight jacket under the seat is ample

    Dip Stick

    Sorry to answer a question with a question, but the topic is something Ive been thinking about. I have a shortened sump and was wondering if that would affect the ideal level for oil on the dipstick?
  9. http://shop.instant-shop.com/Snooperdirect/product50186.html Does anybody have any experience of snoopers and if they are effective? As a safety measure obviously.

    Hope It Snows

    Ok so maybe there are`nt many bends, and the fire ants are a problem, But no litter, potholes or pedestrians really make up for it.

    Newark Show

    Not long got back from camping in East Berlin.... Yes!!! East Berlin..! it was an old soviet training and relaxation base in a big park in the city center. (http://www.tentstation.de) We used these pop up tents that are amazing if you cant be bothered with pitching. They really do take 2 seconds maybe 3 (that was the one we had) to put up and are double skinned and totally waterproof. Best camping gadget ever LINK http://www.decathlon.co.uk/EN/touring-tents-13801414/#

    Eat like an American (when in Rome) Ponderosa restaurant... All you can eat breakfast for pennies. Sonnys BBQ Pit............ Unbelievable ribs and steaks. The Golden Coral......... Al you can eat full on American food, again pennies compared to here. These places litter FLA. Oh yeah and if you drive through a huge swamp in Paisley Ocala forest say howdy to my brother who thought it a good idea to buy an acre of swampland and live on it.
  13. Hi, Mine are doing exactly the same from 2 out of 4 of them, its actually worse when its cold wether I use choke to start it or not.

  15. Well thanks for that especially Enforcer. I will try the diplomatic approach once more before logging and photographing.
  16. Some git over the road has 4 cars, he has recently purchased a big merc van which he parks in front of the dropped kerb of my garage/drive. I have asked him 4 times to move it and even got a do not park sign on my gate (after putting a dent in my rear wing trying to squeeze out) Anyway he was there again last night so before i declare an all out war I was wondering if what he is doing is illegal???
  17. After camping Sunday night to leave the show at 9am today to get to work, Jeez! the rain on the M69 nearly took the skin off my face cos of the aeroscreen (maybe full face helmets are in order for the rain)..... Found the RHOCAR register but couldnt find the camp area, so had to make do with a mixed field right at the back. But 1st run out to a show and had a brill time, cant wait to do some more.
  18. Can one take a caravan into the event? and if so how much is it? Dont spose there`s any electrical hook ups are there? I will be in a humble tent, but I think Ive convinced my parents to go you see
  19. The Atom I think. See if this top gear snippet makes your mind up.

    Weather

    Im sure its taking the p**s out of me today, every time I get the car out of the garage, in the blazing sun it turns to sleet or rain quicker than you can say "no weather gear".
  21. Yes many years ago I was stuck 300 miles away on the coast in a Fiat X19 after a puncture and the spare was punctured too (just brought it and failed to check) anyway the large royal type of recovery company said on the phone they could not touch it if I hadnt looked after the spare. They sent a contractor to do a road side repair if possible, whereby he just lifted me up and said "get in, youve got two flat tyres and a flat spare havnt you?" Gotta hand it to some of these guys.
  22. Could anybody tell me the requirements for having (or not as in my case) a spare wheel whilst on the road, or at MOT time? Thanx
