So pleased to know that you are OK after the incident Bob, also that A Plan assisted in such a good way which is always good to know 

GUESS THAT MEANS RAIN AGAIN ON Wednesday  

Hopefully should be there  

Hi I bought the titled item from Machine Mart to put on our drive to put my new car in, sadly when I assembled it it was too large for our drive.

In the current Machine Mart catalogue its listed at £334.80, when it arrived I unpacked it to check it was all there. I also decided to Waxoyl all the Tubes and metal parts that were not treated to hopefully stop them deteriorating whilst it was outside and assembled.

I have subsequently bought another one and am open to sensible offers from anyone who might be interested in purchasing my too large Portable Garage.

It would need to be collected from my home in New Arley near Coventry in the West Midlands.

Thank you for looking.

Steve

Hi Andi

hope you and your family are all well and enjoying the sunshine today ?

Thank you as always for your kind words and input

So I am guessing no one has had their wings blown off then ?

Will investigate further

Stay safe and well all please

Cheers

Steve

Cheers Mike I will look at that as an option and thank you so much for responding.

Enjoy the weather whilst it’s being kind

Cheers

Hi all,

my front wings on my 2B Superspec have been repaired and I now have to refit them. Does anyone have any idea of the correct way to mark measure then drill the mounting holes ?

The wings had previously cracked and are now whole again but I do not wish to ruin the refurbished wings.

Thank you for any assistance.

Cheers

Steve

Very Sad news. May Graham Rest In Peace.

Condolences to the Family at such a sad time, but looking back remember all of the Good Times

Vauxhall is the oldest British? car producer. 

As continually quoted by PSA in their adverts  

Perhaps PSA hope this will encourage people to part with their hard earned £'s bit of a JOKE really IMHO

Lets see how Vauxhall progresses in time ! Under new ownership 

Attending please 

Rosemary, Rebecca and Steve

Might have some other friends who wish to attend can I add them later please ?

HNY

Cheers

Keep my Kit and Bike on what I think they call "Battery Optimisers / Optimizers" they are on permanently and monitor the batteries condition and keep the battery in Optimal Condition and purportedly slow down or minimise any deterioration of the Battery.

Yes as has been mentioned by Andi previously watch out for deals on Aldi and Lidl where there are normally 3 year warranties which benefit us all

Thank you for the picture it looks wonderful, as does the weather.

Welcome to the Club it's full of so much information and very wonderful people, enjoy your car please.

Cheers

"When I were a lad"......I regularly cycled to Brands to watch anything going on.

The most thrilling races I watched were between Mike Hailwood and Giacamo Agostini.

They were riding almost un rideable bikes, too much power for the frames, which

twisted every which way. Those guys had steel balls.......

I'm probably biased because I could then stand right at the side of the track & be deafened.

I'd love to see Rossi race in person, he looks scary just on the TV.

Bob when I were a LAD I was lucky enough to meet Mike Hailwood when he had just got off the Honda 250 6 that he rode on the IOM TT in 1967. I was with a couple of guys who worked next door to my place of work. They worked for Stanley Schofield SOUND STORIES and as I was on holiday on the IOM during Diamond Jubilee TT week they asked me to come with them with the Sound Recorder for them to make the LP's of the TT. I tried to shake hands with Mike and all he could offer me was his leather elbow, he showed me the palms of his hands that were covered in blisters as he explained when you open the throttle there is so much power all it can do is keep shaking its head ! ............ As Bob rightly says they had the steel balls and the hands to match ! He was also an absolute pleasure to watch

Giacomo Agostini was also very very amiable too

Mike Hailwood

Yes WAXOYL for me my 1974 Escort Mexico that is now owned by a friend is still rot free this was Ziebarted from new and is very similar to WAXOYL

Yes shove it everywhere

Should be there but only in TinTop

Steve

Rimmer Bros ??

Anything to do with RED DWARF ?

Cheers

Steve

Yes Dean HAPPY BIRTHDAY so kind of Andi to alert us all ;-)

Have a GOOD ONE Young Man

Cheers

Steve

I took one of my wings to a local paint shop he said oh its Standard Yellow he mixed me up some Cellulose Paint which matched exactly but my car is a 2b ;-)

We LIKE AutoAid around £43 per year much cheaper than AA or RAC or Green Flug and the premium covers all cars owned by Mr. & Mrs.

My SuperSpec does not have a ROVER Engine either and was built by GBS

I Lagged my Exhaust Manifold and it helped keep the HEAT DOWN and it looks "COOL" too .

Derek,

What about a 2 Litre DOHC like my 2B Superspec has perhaps worth adding to the list of possibles ?

Cheers

Steve

Yup agreed with Andi and anyone else who said buy another one.

Collected it this afternoon and if I was clever enough I would put a picture on here.

Its a " No3 Record Vice. " £20.00 on GUMTREE looks to be in reasonable condition too, will strip it out and clean it to make sure all is up to scratch !

Might never work AGAIN

Thanks for all the WORDS OF WISDOME

Steve

I broke my Vice today any suggestions or recommendations appreciated.

Cheers

Steve ( NO VICE )
