Re: ULEZ Expansion

When i can register her historic later this year I'm sure i will not have to pay ULEZ as will be exempt but this will probably change.!! Thanks for your reply Nick, fair enough :) As regards to the above though, I really wouldn't be too sure of that, I have heard rumblings that it may change, as yo...

Re: ULEZ Expansion

Bleedin Hell chaps you're taking as though you actually live under Khans spell. Spare a thought for me. :wave: :lol: Trouble is Nick, it's spreading. There are ULEZ notices all around where I live, including just a few yards away, drive a few yards from your home and pay for the privilege. Recently...

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 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...

Re: Valve Seat Recession questions

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

Wonder what the average cost of this typically is.
