Re: Radiator/expansion tank cap

The rapture you experience when you cut out the straggly bit and crudely stick the two good ends together with a tiny bit of sellotape and then manage to record the majority of the old compilation onto a fresh C90 in the other deck (yes did that!). Though I haven't experienced tape chewing, I have ...

Re: Radiator/expansion tank cap

playing that special tape in the car or at a party... real shame the modern kids will never have that special, hand made personal music item ever again. The disappointment you feel when the cassette gets chewed in the player and your special memories end up as a never-ending ribbon of tape in the b...

Re: Radiator/expansion tank cap

It's like when you used to rush home with a latest record, put it on and lie back as you read and stare at the sleeve and liner notes, enjoy it and place it in it's new place in your collection. And look forward to doing it again, great experience. Streaming is convenient, but convenient can be ano...

Re: Dr Brooklands

It's no more than an hour from me now as part of a collection. I like the idea of having a car collection, but who's got the time to maintain a fleet of classic Fords? Except Danny, obviously! :lol: Andrew. For the record, I definitely don't have enough time or money to maintain a fleet :lol: There...

Re: Forum social weekend 3 -5 July 2024

Julie-Ann and I have stayed for extra days before one or two years here and there, just a question of asking (and paying!). As Peter says it's open to the public! Are you thinking of coming Paul? Well I've met a few people from the forum, would be good to meet more, and it looks like a fun couple o...

Re: Forum social weekend 3 -5 July 2024

Out of interest, is camping available/allowed for all of those days, or even longer if someone wished. For example could someone set up camp and stay from the 2nd to the 6th if they wanted?

Re: Radiator/expansion tank cap

We've just sacked off streaming services for good, netflix, spotify etc. Had enough of all of it. Back to looking for DVDs and CDs for nights in, much happier for it 👍 You're so right. Much better to have a physical item, so much more appreciative and satisfying. It is a far happier experience. 🤔

Re: Radiator/expansion tank cap

I do like a bit of Poirot. Cadfael's good too, with the ex-Crusades Knight turned Monk trying to solve murders in the medieval times. Poirot is the best. ;) I don't know Cadfael. Looks like it was here only on DVD from 2010, but it has very good rating. Tom Well worth tracking it down on DVD if you...

Unless that auction is actually for a reshelled high miler with a rebuilt cologne in it and you've just discovered the scam! Actually Hercule Poirot confirms that it is not the scam. :) Tom I do like a bit of Poirot. Cadfael's good too, with the ex-Crusades Knight turned Monk trying to solve murder...

I haven't bought any yet or done anything about it, been mostly drinking ales and walking in the country. Love this time of year.

Haha, great looking graphics, Tom! Presumably one of them is going on the bootlid, but what about the other one? Andrew. One's in rosso red and the other is silver. I discovered under the matt black paint that the original red paint is in really good condition so may expose some for purposes of str...

They were out of favour for a while. From Google: "In June 2020, the show was removed from various UK streaming services due to its use of blackface. In March 2022, the BBC made Little Britain available to view on BBC iPlayer again with some of the more controversial characters being cut from ...
