Sorry DoloMIGHTY. Chucked my dummy out the pram. Those of us who where there knew what happened. Two days off delivery and you don't have time mess around. You depend on suppliers. Sometimes they get it wrong.

In that case I suggest you find another supplier. I'm only commenting on what you posted, and so, as I've yet to actually view the programme, I'll keep any further thoughts to myself until I have.
Currently over 35 years worth of fixing 35 boxes.
Hoping to reach 65 years worth of fixing 65 boxes.

Some people are like Slinkies - they serve no useful purpose, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them downstairs.

It's the only thing they have got... er... perhaps not wrong more not quite right. When your biggest enemy is the clock things happen.

What's the ^^^^ mean. I'm a numpty at this sort of thing and the first to admit it :?, though I am brilliant at digging a hole for myself. :lol:

^^^ means "up-arrow" or "what's above this post" in this case.

Cheers :D

Doh! Thank you. I think I'll venture down to the workshop and do a bit more on my 1942 GPW. I can understand that. Did I ever tell you of the time that I was trying to find if a Scintilla magneto was working....and it WAS!!! I swear I saw the spark pass from one eyeball to the other from the inside. :shock:

It hasn't snowed here for 12 hours.

I've watched a few of the episodes and they're great. I noticed that the Anglia was switched but unlike the other programme there was no cover-up attempted. The original car was too far gone so another one had to be sourced. I enjoyed the Stag episode. That was crying out for the original Triumph V8 engine.
