There are two cooncil tips near here. One is closed Mondays and Tuesdays, the other Wednesdays n Thursdays. Got the car loaded up with rubble for a tip run, to the only one which accepts rubble. Before setting off I checked which one is open...

Mornin Damp start Sold some BSA forks, bloke collecting today :) Bit o this bit o that today, looking for radiator paint in grey not havin any luck :confused: Stay busy all :)

Morning All. :D Cool and threatening to rain. :( A Fox has done a poop right on our front doorstep. Nasty verminous things Foxes. :mad: Mini Club tonight, have a great day! :D

So tonight I decided to take myself in hand 😮😮😮 When's the W coming back 😛😛

Catch up later. Oft to wuk urly.

Right guess it is time I left a bit of Grants in the bottle and wandered off to bed! Sleep tight all! 🤣 🤣

It is the sort of thing where, never having had them on the D1 nor on the D2, I don't miss them. I do have ACE, obvs, but shen it played up and I pulled the fuse I honestly couldn't tell the diff, even driving down the steep, twisty mountain road...

I love that "down to" ! 🤣 🤣 🤣 I must admit I am a bit shocked it is only 2 landies. Looks like you really liked your fast Fords. You'd get on with my middle Son-in-law.. Although he is also into Morris Minor pickups! Anyway, she ought to...

When I met her I owned.. mg turbo montego (daily), xr3i mk5 cab, xr2, xr2i & a mk1 escort mexico she must have known I was a petrolhead. Ive no idea how many cars boats bikes, hovercrafts, vans 4x4 ive went though. Im down to 3 boats 2 landys & 3...

Have you tried squirting Eazistart, or the equivalent, into the air filter, or other part of the induction system then cranking to see of it starts?

You make me laugh. You say that you don't cook yet it sounds as if you once did. OK you cook on the BBQ, that goes with being a bloke, but does your missus know that you can knock up a smooth Bechamel sauce without turning a hair?? Better keep...

Really im surprised, ive never seen one from the factory with out them, bet yours was built on a Friday. 🤣 🤣

I don't have the third row of seats, apparently that is what makes the diff. I would hate to have all the hassle of airsprings etc.

I bet your missus will be calling it your "man cave" before you can say "knife". Just make sure you don't get the beer pump mixed up with the peteroil pump!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

Yer I did work in eSpain in bars, also worked in restaurants/night clubs cooking & drinking go well together. :p Ive got a shed/barn that was stacked full of tools, car stuff bla bla now its almost been gutted im turning it into a wee bar. The...

Not all D2s, mine don't.

D2's came with air on the rear, I did convert one to springs which was horrible (very thumpy) although it was totally road going motor with no other mods arb was still fitted.

My immediate reaction was unprintable!!! If she hates them all did she not "vet" you before she married you? My missus did, and she kneew what I was like. And she is into steam in a big way so we kinda compliment one another. She has also...

Probably every time I take any one of my toys out. Tbh she hates them all wait till I take her out it the boat once my new manifold gets fitted... 660hp 🤣🤣

True story. We live on the GR7 Which means "Grande Randonnée 7" which is one of the hiking routes that they have in various places in France. So we get all sorts of hikers, horse riders, peeps hiking with donkeys, etc going past our place...

I had a feeling you worked in eSpain behind a bar, so maybe your experience was a bit, well a lot, different than mine. So you have a big shed/bar and a noo garage???!!! You'll be like Jay Leno before long!! 🤣🤣

I thought one was made in a shaker, tis been a while since I was behind a bar.. whilst on the subject of bars im making my big shed into a bar. :cool::cool:

OK, I'll put you out of you misery. The Collins is a Highball made with "charged" water, (soda water for us Brits) which you put in slowly so it stays sparkling. The Fizz is made the same way but the soda is put in fast so it fizzes and then it...

Yup I'll put the kettle on.......long wait for fuel off me 🤣🤣

If you have increased the compression lot you must expect it to be harder to turn over with the previous starter motor. By how much have you increased it?

Tomorrow.....
