I think part of it will be personal opinion surely? One 'specialist' might say only use 20/50, another may say only 10/40 and the last will tell you to leave him alone and put WD40 in it for all he cares - I would imagine if you are an 'expert - however that is defined - you would still end up disa...

A good deal milder today with some sunshine too so a good excuse to throw the cover off the 2.8 and give it a run up. It's not going anywhere for a while yet though especially as half the dash is out whilst I look at the tape deck! https://i.postimg.cc/CKBjhbtx/DSC-0400.jpg Hi Peter, Quick question...

I was thinking about this the other day actually. The Focus and the two Fiestas were all built within three years of each other (give or take) and all take a different grade of oil. The Focus takes a (pricey!) 0W-40, the ST200 takes 5W-30 and the MK8 takes 5W-20. Fortunately the ST200 is fine on 5W-...

Garden railings don't tend to flex Hi Martin, hope you're keeping well. Garden gates do flex/spring quite a bit, especially larger ones and/or those made with thinner material. Certainly, double gates I used to have at one point sprung and flexed quite a bit. A neighbour has a single gate covering ...

I am not such a fan of the paint on Waxoyl as it always seemed to go harder and then be liable to crack and let moisture in under it. The same would possibly apply to Hammerite. Garden railings don't tend to flex like the body of a car would, so may give a slightly false impression. Everyone will h...

I’m really pleased this thread was resurrected as I’d missed it the first time around!

Wonder if we can resurrect Glyn as well

Why not just fart ?

I appreciate this may be difficult to believe, but he’s actually alright in real life!

Thats because they never made adverts like that, its a parody :whistle: Then I'm happy. But are you sure? America is a land of unlimited possibilities. :lol: Tom No not real! But if it was, it's still ok to be happy, because its the past and we can bathe in the great strides of progress we have mad...

They’re lucky the wheels haven’t been stolen. Actually, on second thoughts....

I’m no leftie (as many of you are aware!) but Tom and Hamish both make valid points. I’ve no idea where we’re heading as a society, are the clowns in charge simply incompetent beyond belief or do they actually know exactly what they’re doing? Who knows, but either way the future doesn’t look particu...

In my last year of Uni I shared a flat with a Spanish girl. Her friends were coming over one evening so I made (a large quantity of) sangria. Me being me I used a 14% Malbec and rather over did it with the Bacardi.... The result was that I got to spend the evening with five thoroughly inebriated sen...

Strange, cos I always thought the RS200 was bleedin ugly!

Heathen!

I have seen a couple of doco,s on the story, what a drama and at the end of it all there was only this unattractive ,poorly performing ludicrously expensive kit car . Its only real point of difference (and dont nobody pipe up about the flux capacitor neither 😁) is the stainless body fascards. Its l...

Happy Christmas everybody!

Got to be!

I wonder if they banger them? It’s certainly an odd (but good!) find, it would be interesting to know the story.

Fiona has a niece born in 2001.... I mean get your head around that, BORN AFTER THE YEAR 2000! I didn’t realise such people existed. Add that she can legally come to the pub with us and, well, I just feel ancient! :lol: Ah, she must be one of them there 'my-linoleums', or something like that? Or is...

Regarding the reliability (or lack of) of the test and therefore infection rate data, this is the Health Secretary’s little ‘slip up’: https://mobile.twitter.com/JuliaHB1/status/1306919831950766086?s=20 The methodology for calculating false positives does indeed appear correct, it’s what SAGE use an...
