Mate thanks for sharing those tales, just read it to Julie-Ann and she loved hearing about it too :applaud: You should come to CRaP this year and reminisce in person, have a few drinks, tell some stories, bask in the glow of fun times and make a few new happy memories, that's what it's all about!

He played the fiddle and whistle in the band so we got backstage after all their London gigs. John introduced him to me !!!!! We went to a few after show drink...

Thanks for the birthday wishes guys.

Much appreciated

Tragic news to hear dear Shane has passed on. Met him a few times. Proper legend and one of the best poets of modern times. Thanks for the great memories and wild times Shane.

RIP

All the best.

Hi guys, Does anyone know the inner diameter size of the ring terminals on the 'other end' of both the positive and negative battery cables where they are connected to the starter motor and engine block respectively. Am sure the negative has a bigger ring terminal than the positive one as it is bolt...
