You are aware that the Triv-o-meter is out of service at the moment aren't you!?!?! With posts like that you'd have it bouncing off the overtrival stops!!!! 
What's up with being asked to go on to another contract StuntmanMike?

And yes, Bobbers, I have a large array of many things that I have acquired over a long career that make me a nightmare for people like my wife, who sincerely hopes that I do not die before her and leave it all for her to sort out.
So it's a kind of life insurance really, and I don't have to worry unduly about banana skins on the stairs or poison in my food.
Do you know anybody who is looking for an upholsterer'scwebbing stretcher and tacking hammer pliers?
Or a Universal Loco Key??
Or a wheel trim embellisher ring for a 1964 Ford 105E Anglia?
Or a Burton alloy rocker cover for a Kent engine?
Or a two and a half inch Whitworth spanner?
Or a rear light lens from a Triumph TR 2?
Or a brand new boxed set of brake discs for a 205 GTi?
Or a turbine blade from a crashed Hawker Hunter?
Or a length of Spa Classic bunting pennants from the Ferrari enclosure?
Or a 1974 copy of "The Dirty Vicar's Book of Tits and Bums"? ( very racy)
I might even have a Morris Marina clutch master cylinder in there somewhere, but I certainly won't be parting with that.

I read about old cars/bikes/planes etc being ‘rebuilt’ from a crashed example. Often there is very very little of the original left in the rebuilt version.Or a turbine blade from a crashed Hawker Hunter?
Your turbine blade is all that we need to start the Hawker Hunter rebuild

In other railway related trivia, I used to work with a driver who's surname was Rail!
The twingo turbo brakes are sorted. The cable fitted for the tow hitch was not running smoothly and causing the brake pedal to drag. A minor reroute and all is good again.
Even better is that during the test drive the traction control warning light went out, presumably it was related to the dragging brake pedal.
Father made me a bacon sandwich to say thanks.

How VERY dare you Magoo!?!?!? I wasn't guzzling, I was sipping daintily from my pint glass of wine!!!! I've made it back in one piece after visiting my dad, picking up our shopping and getting our veggies from the local farm shop, while I was there, there was a yummy mummy type with
