Re: Master cylinder thread size.

Re: Who Remembers?

Maybe it`s just me but everytime I`ve been in, there`s only ever one person on the checkout and they`re invariably dealing with some kind of complex return issue, vouchers , receipts, which goes on and on and on. Then they have to explain how it works. You wonder why you didn`t just go on Amazon. As...

Sorting some stuff out today and came across this. Remember when you went in your local car accessory shop, there was always a rack of these. Then again remember the shops - they`ve gone too :crying:

I guess if it really HAD made sense they`d have gone into production?

Do you think maybe it`s a deep seated primeval thing, sort of hunter- gatherer? There really WAS something about going out into the cold night and returning with your goodies. I ...
