..that I was feeling like a bit of a tw@ and suffering post-purchase dissonance as I thought that perhaps my new MIG machine was a very poor choice because the online hands-on review on YouTube showed it only used as a flux-cored wire MIG and with a second-rate TIG capability.
But, after digging deeper I find that it is in fact a gas-MIG (enabled to use shielding gas and plain wire) and my fears were unfounded. Phew! :D
So, it can do Gas-Mig, flux-cored-wired MIG and also Aluminium, lift start TIG ( :( ) and Stick welding. So not the cr@p purchase I was fearing.

Sounds all singing and dancing.
Like the Black and White minstrels.
(Or any other sweet you like):):):)
Seriously I am well jealous, especially if you can weld ally with it. I'm supposed to be able to do that with mine but I haven't tried it. Is dead handy with kit cars.;)

It is seriously a very good looking motor, even the engine bay isn't too shabby. But the wheels are now rusty, the paintwork needs attention, partly from where some prick-bitch ran into the back of it and it is still wrong despite two peeps trying to sort it, and a few bubbles in the top coat. and the clutch on the auto-shift don't work, and it screams at low revs, and it needs me to tune it again as the so -called pro tuner, who we never even asked to get involved, did so when it was at Andy's place supposedly having the clutch changed!
But Andy knows all this and isn't put off by it. If his girlfriend buys it he'll put an ornery box in it and it'll be much better in the long run.
Lovely cream leather interior and maroon mohair hood too.
Wifey fell in love with them and eventually took out a bank loan to buy it off Chesil, they had built it, not the owner, so it was put together propa.
But when it broke down on her in Frogland she fell right out of love with it!!:(:(:(
Goes well too, tuned 1800 engine.:(
I quite like driving it, when it is going right. Will do 80 all day on Frog autoroutes.
She wants to sell it and buy a Jaaaaaaag!:rolleyes: and she says she doesn't like big cars?:rolleyes:
FFS!:rolleyes:
We'll see!

Not all reviewers are knowledgeable in the product they're using. Watching someone show yer how to fault find yer car with a multimeter is a good eggsample. Sometimes they're opinion is wrong anorl.

My Blackline 200 does gas/gasless/stick. No TIG but will burn 3.2 rods and weld 10mm plate very well. I will get a dedicated TIG machine one day lol
 
Drizzle, misty with that 'orrible yellow light bathing the whole place. :( I have no idea what the temperature is like and I'm not inclined to go and find out. I shouldn't complain really as it is already half way through November and we haven't done too badly - it could have been snowing in some years.
Had a last minute thought last night - I hadn't put the black rubbish out so, armed with a torch, I had to go and do that. :(
Have a good day folks.:)
