Re: Flyover - Three Plane Memorial

It's marvellous to see these old planes flying over us and long may they do so but we must never forget the brave men and women who gave their lives flying them 80+ years ago to keep us all (relatively) free.

Re: Brakes

Very annoyingly my GL has started doing this again - I replaced the master cylinder about 18 months ago as it failed the MOT on it, however I am now having the exact same issue.

Cars are only worth what someone wants to pay. There are however some fools out there who are easily parted with their money.

Re: CCI Nationals

I wasted similar time and effort getting my Capri ready for so-called Ford Fair in 2021. I’d previously been about 15 years previously and it was nothing like it has morphed into now..and was looking forward to it, but Capri was parked forlornly in some area and the miserable view of thousands of f...

Re: Carburettor And Automatic Choke Help!

Danny is right and if you look under carb spares you will see that they sell choke o-rings and gaskets which may well solve your leak.

Re: Interior Re-Trim

The Carla on my 3.0S is a bit faded but not torn or worn so, with finances as they are, I think it will have to stay as is. However I do need some bolster work and the piping renewed and will need some of the black surround cloth on the driver's backrest in the usual place that seats first wear.
