Re: Nicest Granada I've ever seen

Completely agree Andy, very fulfilling and enjoyable experience. For me, that continued with CD's (and still does), you'd often get a booklet too, just as good as an album sleeve/liner.

Non physical format music may be convenient, but that's another word for dull.

Re: Nicest Granada I've ever seen

I have Killers and The Trooper tattoo, both old now and showing their age a little. Saw them in Birmingham 2011 supported by Airbourne :cool: We left early as the Mrs was feeling a bit queer :( Oh, I have 3 Motorhead tattoos too :) Terrific! I was going to say I bet you have a Trooper one. I saw th...

I can't say that I have, no. It's a nice place though that is, large and swish.

I like his brother David's work better.
Bobby Dazzler. He walked in to where I used to work once, asking for directions.

It's a yes from me. It's brewed in my home town, Dickinson has been to the brewery to oversee it, etc. They do tours and sell Maiden goodies.

Re: Valve Seat Recession questions

I was about to book it in but Phil at Capri Care has thrown me - he has said that he has never hardened any valve seats on any car he runs and never had an issue so doesn't think it is a necessary job to do and more often than not reckons that worn camshaft is more likely culprit for valves constan...

Re: Nicest Granada I've ever seen

I have heard that Maiden story before, part of that album's folklore, think it was told on 12 Wasted Years. Never quite decided how much truth is in it, or even if the garage did it for a laugh. But still it's a good tale isn't it.

Great album.

Re: The beauty of Vinyl...

Nick, have you heard Daltrey's McVicar album, produced by Jeff Wayne (War Of The Worlds), it's terrific, one of my favourite Who related releases. Can't imagine any other singer belting out Free Me like he does. Yes Paul. Brilliant soundtrack to a brilliant film mate ! :cool: Completely agree, grea...

Do it, quick, in case they realise they've missed a zero or two off.

Wonder what the average cost of this typically is.

Goodness me that's cheap as chips! Didn't realise it was so inexpensive. Completely pointless using lead additives for years on end then surely.

Re: Weirdest Cortina I've ever seen!

It needs to go in a Museum or converted back to standard and the bits displayed in a museum. I am sure it has been for sale for a long time, why would you buy it? For that money you could buy the best Cortina not some one off that you are going to struggle with. I could only imagine you'd buy it if...
