He used to drive to London on bank holiday weekends and on one occasion, was driving over Rhymney Common (See below - in the opposite direction to me - the new road to the left was a railway in those days), when a horse ran out and bumped the front wing of his J2. As he was heading towards London a...

Re: What classic vehicles have you seen?

I've tried to post mix of cars, not just the ones I like (Though the red MG J2 was the car I would have liked to add to my fleet). I know the owner of that car, a very amicable sort bloke he is too.

Re: BMC Halogen conversion

I really want these but they will need to drop in price to around £100 for the pair before I can seriously think about it: I might be able to help you there. Peter at http://www.dynamoregulatorconversions.com/ does LED bulbs that work on either polarity, so it doesn't matter if you have a dynamo or...

Re: Classic Fleet Addition (Addiction) ??

Revival is a time warp event - nothing post 1966 gets into the circuit - so they encourage everyone to turn up in period dress - so here for your laughter is me & the other half in our garb for the event :lol: photo-001.JPG You certainly get some shady types at the Revival: http://i211.photobucket....

Re: Poor restoration advice

There's some sensible and practical advice on this thread, so coming from someone, not up on repairs, serving or restoring, my input isn't going to be about your car directly. From what I can gather, you now have two problems. The first is your dissatisfaction with the company who have, so far, work...

Re: The Classic Car Show.

JPB & tractorman thank you both for your input. I do realise that I haven't been on the forum two minutes and to moan about the whys & wherefores of how you should or shouldn't present your exhibit can come across as crass. You both make valid points and I stand corrected. Later, as we were all pack...
