Somewhere else on the Forum some time ago, I mentioned how the fast idle cam in Kirsty's carb had gone AWOL and I was 'inventing' a manual arrangement. Well, this went to about 60% completion and I then lost interest in working in a freezing garage, plus other family commitments intruded quite a bit...

A trophy? I like, but what name could you give it until you know what it's for?
(Actually, it'd look nice polished up!)

Go on, take it off; I dare you!
The ends with flats may screw out and I bet you find a few hundred shot-gun pellets in there...……………..

Perhaps he thought it might invite derision.................

My thought was based on a conversation overheard: one classic car owner telling another that he got round the lack of leaded petrol by hanging some strips of roof flashing just inside his filler cap. :roll: It occurred to me that a real enthusiast and good DIYer might have built his own hefty tube c...

A petrol-enhancing additive scam...….?

Sorry, Trevor. Looks as if I have to go back to the drawing board!

But aren't the two apparently opposing paragraphs referring to two different situations? The first is saying that when the vehicle is 40, there is no need for the owner to declare that it is VHI (indeed, there is no mechanism by which to do so), but the second is saying that when it is next licensed...

Phil - Sorry, but I had to skip the lock.
I hesitate to point you to the last paragraph of the story, but...............

(Note to self: a dashcam might be an idea.........)

….. or The Story of My Life. A Group of guys, all turning 40, discussed where they should meet for lunch.

Unfortunately we have space issues for parking; can't park end-on as you do. That limitation means SWMBO says I have to sell K before getting another. :roll: It's a chicken and egg situation for Solomon, if you'll forgive the mixed metaphor...…….. :bh (I still really want an emoji signifying hysteri...

Thinking about it are you Dave ? - gets a bit lonely having the only Sabre in the NE I was tempted, not arf, but as remarked, I haven't received the inheritance yet - could be months. :shock: A bit torn because although Kirsty's not the only SS1 in the NE, I very rarely see others at shows we're at...
