The Classic Marque

David, loved your photo of your mallets. Here's a snap of the two I have left of those I made. Both were made from scrap by hand to fit hammerheads I found "in the wild" with broken/rotten handles.

They just crumbled and I just started to find bits of blue rubber on the garage floor . After a bit of research it appears there may have been a bad batch produced at some point and I had bought them from a private eBay seller but unused and in th...

Not long I reckon.

And also just like Starmer, it all began with lies. Lies he told before he was 'elected' PM, about wha h...

Hi Mal
I think Peter is generally very busy. When I first contacted him was looking at 6-7 week wait. Only got in when I did because he had a cancellation.
Normally he is good at replying to emails, have you got correct address - info@burgesstune.co.uk

Yes, that’ll be me.

Third time of joining, I think.

James,

no worries, I remember chucking my seat belts in a bucket with boiling water and washing powder, the muck that came out was shocking and yes the chrome is showing it's age !

Nick,

Very 70's boozer !

Dave,

The driver gets the wheel and gearstick, the passenger gets the arm rest.

Is it possible that you are 7842, to my 7860 in Mascot this month ?
