Brad, PM sent.

I got a watch with the Green Shield stamps I got from petrol, it lasted me about the same time as a tank of petrol as well!

I passed my test in February’67, & I could by 4 gallons for a pound at the local Jet station, I think I got 4 pence change as well. When Embassy cigarettes came out they were 1/11d for ten if I remember correctly, this would be about 1963 or 4, not that I bought them or smoked them as I was too...

1989 Mazda Eunos, my wife thinks it’s hers. Is it a classic, I suppose so at 32 years old, but there is still a lot of them about. We‘ve had it about 14 years.

One of the lads I knew on BT used a radio controlled toy tank to run over suspended ceilings with a drawstring. Worked well, really good idea.

Friends of my in-laws was a director of a company & ran a Daimler Double 6, the Vanden Plas thing with the extended chassis. They took my in-laws over to Germany on a sales trip (holiday) pulled into a German filling station & put about 20 gallons of petrol in, then asked the attendant to fill...

My mate found an easier way, he had on old blue 1390 Minx, the body fell apart, but it had test on. He was offered another in black with little or no test but reasonable in the body. Swap number plates & job done, he ran it for several years & never got questioned, although he did get asked by...

I used to be quite friendly with a pair of identical twins, they thought as one, as you say telepathically. The two of them would hold a conversation with you, but speaking as one, half a sentence each! Far closer to each other than brothers.

May issue, came this morning

Just seen the new copy of Practical Classics, quite a good write up in there of your car.

The Americans used to advertise a system where the oil changes were100,000 miles with a special high filtration system. Don’t know if it ever really took off or what happened to it. I think it was specifically for trucks.

My wife’s MX5 is sorn’ed every winter for 6 months & we have never had a problem with flats on tyres in the 12 years we’ve had it. I know it’s a lot lighter though. One thing i have heard is to pump them up to the maximum pressure so they have minimum flats on, never tried it though. Over the...

If you can’t find a local supplier for the nylon tube, give Machine Mart spares number a ring. I’ve never used them, but others have said they are pretty good.

I’ve had 100k knocked off one time as they didn’t enter last figure, went back on next time without causing a problem. It was entered on the system & shows on the MOT history ok.

She could of delivered it by hand, it would have saved a stamp. :thumbup:

Added protein :laughing:

Lidl or Aldi, not sure which, Lidl I think, have caravan cleaner in the centre aisle at the moment. A black streak remover, that might be the thing to use, it certainly won’t damage anything

The farmers would be in the middle of Paris setting fire to the tractors in protest while the gendarmes watch. The government would then back down & everything would be back to normal! :whistle:

I was driving back from Cirencester today & I spotted a truck with an Ever Green shipping container on it, so perhaps it had Big Egg’s bits on. :laughing:

Smoke alarm?
