Morning All. :D Colder today than of late. :( Have a nice day. :D

... that my son made it to the pages of the Sunday Times today. See here. Scroll way down and there he is telling all about his nightmare journey. :D

No lift pin on a HIF44 unfortunately. Plugs are BP6ES. :)

Morning All. :D Cool today and overcast. :( One of our cats came marching down the garden sporting a Zapata moustache. As it got closer I could see the moustache was moving. Is was a big fat slow-worm. Have a lovely day. :D

Progress! .... Well, maybe, maybe not, will have a few more runs to see. Despite me having timed the life out of the thing it has still been giving me trouble when I am trying to accelerate from modest speeds (e.g. 30MPH) if there is any "load" involved (e.g. starting to climb a hill). The...

Black and sooty, not oily. Maybe they aren't getting hot enough to burn it off?

Congrats! I hope it is all you want or need it to be. Looks very smart. :D

Here is our Fluffy little rag-doll mix. Name is "Mitsey". :D Always sneaking onto my bed so it is a struggle to claim my place each night.

Oh Wow! Getting on a bit then. Happy Birthday Pusscat. :) My "Scratchy" is 15 too. Getting all threadbare she is, the poor old gal.

Morning All. :D Happy Saturday. :) Have a great day. :D

Hello All, I have heard from our @WhiskyLassie and I am pleased to tell you that she is alive & well and is fully occupied getting her feet under the table in her new job. Sadly this means that she has less time to drop by to chat with us all right now, but when she has the new job buttoned...

Oh dear..... I am in the doghouse...again. Yesterday we went to watch a film she had just recorded. She started it and I said "Hey we watched this just a few weeks ago". Argument ensued she accused me of mis-remembering and then she went to great lengths to show me it wasn't in her old list...

...Update from my lad now he is stuck in Washington DC by the turned back flight from San-Fran to LHR. Apparently they (United Airlines) will "try" to get him a flight to the UK on Sunday (no promises). He has been interviewed by a bloke from the Times. :)

Shame his car is in Heathrow Long-Term innit? :D

Morning All. :D Son is stuck in America as his plane was diverted mid-flight and returned to the USA because of the Heathrow shutdown. :( Means more trouble for us. Get rid of the kids this morning and now 2 trips to his house to feed & water his cats. At least they are safe. :) Have a good...

If your phone is backed up to the cloud the process is easy because you synchronise using google. Or, you can use Myphone Explorer (free software) to create a full back up and then use the same software on the new phone to restore from your PC etc. to the new phone.

Morning All. :D Kid banging on our bedroom door @ 06:30. I was not impressed. :( Up early as a result. Can't wait to be shot of the pair of them TBH. :( Anyway, have a good day. :D

It has always had E5 (never E10) and I recently added Castrol Valvesaver at the last top-up which is a Lead Replacement and Octane improver. Today I pulled the timing "All in" at 4,200 RPM back by 2 or 3 degrees to about 30° BTDC. I am going out in it tonight for a decent little 70MPH run and I...

I have been fixing various bits and pieces as parts arrive. Today was the rear number plate lights with new lenses and bulb-holders. I also rechecked/redid the timing to see if we can fully eradicate the detonation on throttle opening under some conditions. I pulled all the plugs to see what...

Morning All. :D Sunny & Bright here. :) The Hell-Spawn return here for lodgings tonight and tomorrow night. :( Have a lovely day. :D
