That can't be possible since OUR illustrious leader says that climate change doesn't exist. ;-P





It sounds like you've learned your lesson, young man. Although it is strange how easily you did get burned in the rain.

We currently have clouds that occasionally drop wet stuff and, going by past history, we won't see the sun on a regular basis until sometime in March. Ty...

Hi Jan, It would be wonderful to actually 'see' my plot.

It is listed as: Glencoe Wood, Keil Hill, plot no. A11622.

I don't know whether it's on your route but it would make a good story.

I thought it was a joke at first but apparently it's real.

My family came from Rothsey originally, to Oz in 1851 for the gold 'digens'.

Well, for the last 4-5 days here it's been weird
The wind "always" comes from the west straight from Africa with nothing in between to stop it, so as you can imagine it can get quite blowy sometimes--for the last few days it's been from the east or s/east
This time of the year (around late November) the UV is very high, We have a UV warning on the telly with the weather report with a scale...

My guess is that there are nooks and crannies that never quite get emptied, the same with engine oil - a fair bit remains in the engine.

I use a Minispares RC40. I'm on my second one, about 10 years in one. 1 3/4 ID, fits (just) between the leaf spring and tank

Hello Ray. I think this is what you are looking for. If you have other questions send me a note.

Some years ago I fitted exchange calipers and found the pistons were incorrectly positioned as you mention. The manual says the cut outs must be downwards but not why. Possibly to prevent squealing or uneven pad wear. I found the pistons a right struggle to rotate but by gripping the central pins it was just possible with the caliper removed from the disc.

Hi Michael, I still like to keep an eye on this sight most days in the hope it will be revived. It was by far the best, and responsible for sorting out a lot of the early problems with supercharging these engines.
We taught each other a lot. Happy Christmas to all.

Stuart,

I wonder also if the bad press around fossil fuels and talk of banning petrol and diesel cars from towns and cities may be having a negative impact too?

I was out in Hong Kong back in September and having met up with an MG Car Club member out there, he advised me of the local restrictions to use in Hong Kong. I'm aware France who are largely classic car friendly also rest...
