Re: james May's cars of the people

Re: wing covers

I have a Magnetic pair by Neilsen the are also good.

Haven't used them on the Capri yet, but they should be ok as there is more wing to secure to,
on my XR3i they had a tendency to slip if they weren't placed over top of wing into Engine Bay due to the wing angle.

Re: Car S.O.S Escort 1600i

Hi Andrew, The Cars are sometimes in a garage away from their home that they rarely visit, or in their garage at home which they hardly go in as the car is usually buried under loads of boxes or typical garage bits. It does seem a bit far fetched but I have had my Cars in garages that I haven't been...

Re: Bonnet rubbers on ebay !!!

Hi Andrew,
Yes I recall it, a classic example..
I got a spare Standard Key cut from a local Key Cutting Shop for a Few £'s, it works that's the main thing.

Who really needs a Torch Key ???
