Thought I better update the log as it's a coupla months since my last script. All the underside is now sealed and sprayed. I have only used 2 pack as I did'nt want the arches etc. all lumpy with underseal stuff and I usually, no always wash under wheel arches. I have had some problems with my other ...

Visited Brooklands Mercedes recently, charming people, most impressed, decided on a new Merc now.

Ever feel like you are taking two steps forward but find that you really are three steps back, this restoration deal is a struggle. I got the front panels on and all pugged and smoothed then I decided I did'nt like the two horn grill openings, they just looked like two gaping big holes so I welded t...

Hi all thanks for your replies, Re the 993 I reckon as it's the last air cooled specimen it warrants a higher overall value than the 996, but for an everyday driver I think the Other Half lists instant heat/defrost, heated seat and ESP as pretty important. A turbo is a non starter cos she is a real ...

After buying two new Audi's for the ole lady, an S3 previous model and a V6 quatro latest model and losing wheelbarrow loads of moolah on the resale, I have convinced her to get a second hand 911. I think we can go to the 996 model and possibly a Carrera S, but I have no experience of these newish t...

Hi Mike, thanks for your response, I'll give you a ring tomorrow am to discuss details. Cheers.

They should have fitted a 1200cc VW motor in it then it would go like a piece of shite as well as looking like a piece of .. .. ..

I think you've been playing too many computer games.

Greetings all, anybody know where I can get one of those little nippon denso starter motors for my 12v '59A motor. I have one on my small block Ford V8 and it really cranks it over good. I believe they're geared up (or down?) which multiplies the available torque. I'm slowly getting all my 12v elect...

Hi Jason, that's a killer piece of kit and ticks all my 12v requirement and charging boxes. I gotta have one! Please PM me with all your details so I can get a cheque in the post to you before they all go. And what about post and packing or are you near. I flit between Heathrow and Gatwick all the t...

A married couple were on holiday in Jamaica. The were touring around the market place looking at the goods and such when they passed a small sandal shop. From inside they heard the shopkeeper say, "You foreigners! Come in, come into me humble shop." So the married couple walked in. The Jam...

Here's some new stuff, I seem to have been rubbing down pug for so long on the front end, its pretty good now where the new wing and front end all meet up. I braced the front with a hidden strut running fron the battery tray to the lower lip on the front end because it had some movement in it. So ye...
