The warm smell of colitas and pink champagne on ice.

We did that one about three years ago when Mrs Brassington had the incident with the mangle.

Try to keep up.

Getting well and truly shafted with shipping and customs paperwork importing parts by Air freight from USA

The warm smell of colitis?

I thought it was Battert's latest brew fermenting away!

It's certainly bubbling away well, I'd keep clear of the side door on the hangar if you're passing that way.

The bloody bulb has popped in the table lamp in the lounge now. I'll see about a replacement in the morning.

Non - stop it is here

[fatboy18]

I find bulbs fairly illuminating that is of course unless they are from Holland, go into your electrical wholesalers and ask for some 100wt illumination units, they look at you very oddly! Then explain you would like some bulbs

Got an agreed value cert on the car today, best thing is premium stays the same
Great to know price has increased nicely too, so in a way that's 10ys of free motoring

Morning chaps and a warm welcome back fatboy, was reminded of you last night while watching a 2400hp Viper do a 225 mph run, those figures may not be quite right, but it was something like that!!! YouTube 1320 videos it's worth a watch!
Glenrobbo you sir are a genius I tell you, now why didn't I think of that!!
As for Batterts balmy brew when I wandered past first thing this morning it smelled like a cross between rotten eggs, month old rotting veg and boiled cabbage, not to mention the strange glow and ethereal mist hanging over it!!!

Today’s task is get to three jobs for site meetings, in between pick up some bearing shells and then get back by five to load an engine sold to a bloke coming from Surrey.

I think I can do it. The M25 isn’t involved so I know I can do it

M25 is a bit big, isn't it? That's 1" UNF in old money. What size of engine is it?



Bloke from Surrey setting off with Pushfit's surplus engine.

Mr Pushfit said later, "I'm sorry to see it go but it was in the way a bit."

There is NO WAY that came out of the Vixen!!!
I'm watching a set of Focus ST springs on eBay, only done 40k and look in good nick, if I can pick them up cheap I may do a suspension refresh on the Fucus next year, now do I go Monroe standard shocks or the Monroe Reflex shocks, discuss!!

You're forgetting it has a power bulge.

Now, to be clear, are we talking about the Vixen or Pushfit??

I have to be very cross to call Pushfit "it"

I assumed that "it" was just your abbreviated pet name for him.

I see no one has an opinion on my quandary from earlier, standard or mildly uprated shocks?

Earlier. Every time.

A few years ago I had to pick up a box of spanners to work on engines like that! Box was 3mts long! and bloody heavy, had to deliver to a dock on the south bank between Dartford and Gravesend. Then had to get the bloody box up the gangplank to the engineers working on the merchant ship.

When I was doing sameday courier work ,20 years ago ,one of the accounts was urgent parts for marine engines.

I refused to "Walk the plank" carrying heavy stuff onto a vessel.

I'm not falling into the drink.
