What could be more fun than spending a couple of hours listening to John Twist take you through how to get the best out of your MG after a winter layup:

IT self identifies as a 49 YA not one of those modern YB things----lol

Yes,

They are nothing to me - figure you might be able to modify them to use the better later paper filters

Willy - that's brilliant news. I knew it was in there somewhere... any chance of a piccy?
YB with a couple of discreet mods, from memory. Your experience and knowledge are second to none, so I look forward to your updates. John.

Mine is that the planet doesn't need " saving" as nature has a way of caring for itself. What the phrase really hides is the human race needs saving but again nature doesn't care. Dinosaurs must have thought they were successful but we know how THAT ended. No evolu...

I poached this from faceache.

See pictures.
