Sounds bad Gareth. Hopefully you have caught it in time so things won't take too long to dry out again. You know you wanted new carpet upstairs anyway :lol:. Our friends came back from holiday to a leaking loft cistern, water running down the stairs. That was before Christmas and they are still...

The Messerschmitt was German and even dafter than the Isetta. I should be watching the Mentalist now, (I know, I know:oops:) but as is typical of Dutch commercial TV they have gone back to the middle of last season, without telling us. Drives me mad when they do that.

I remember a very long delay on the way home from school years ago. There had been an accident between a bus and a lorry. When they separated the two, they found a bubble car flattened between them. That's a very old urban myth, although I bet it has happened a few times. I remember Fifth Gear t...

My Dad had a 500cc Panther with a Garard sidecar, Single cylinder, ridged back end but we loved it. Mum and me in the sidecar and my sister on the back of the bike. 1956 to 1959. Wish I had it now. Les

My father described Panthers as "one stroke every lamp post". Not sure what the bikes were but we did have a double adult sidecar and a bullet shaped one Dad built himself. One holiday to Devon saw three kids in the sidecar, Dad riding, Mum on the back and baby inside her bike jacket. :shock:

i-Berg - had the pleasure of a couple night your way back in Jan 07. Drove round fron Sidney on the Princes Highway. Not the most interesting of drives but saw a lot of Australia that overseas tourists don't normally see. Found the Melborne road system a bit of a challenge, especially the TAG ...

Flossie - if you want quality, try . ah yes, Loewe... yes, a friend down the road has one... its been faulty more times than either of us can remember over the past decade, cost nearly twice what my Sony would have done - if I paid full-price for it (which I didn't), and still looks inferior (altho...

The Tv Licence is required because a Tv (CRT) is a transmitter and it`s the IF (the signal to the tube)that the detector vans/hand held devices pick up...actually,it`s a field strength meter,much the same as the Super Snooper that detects radar speed traps..and that is how they know which channel yo...

Er right sides Yves. Loctite is your friend with old British Iron. Loctite doesn't "Loctite" with heat...:shock: But that's part of the charm of all that old iron. One of my friends is riding an old '68 Triumph 650 Bonneville, and he has the same problems. I still have a tingle down my spi...

A '56 tiger 100. A '58/9 Thunderbird. I now have a little 1980's Honda CD 250 U which I use as a little runabout. ...
