Got mine last night
Flicking through to look at rust in peace first. There should be a picture of a Datsun N1000 however it would appear the person who did the layout only wants us to see the top of the roof and a crumbling building. I suspect the layout editor forgot to hit the resize button.

mine arrived today






still havent read it.....

It is a very nice roof though, Terry. And Rich, I haven't read your copy either. I've had a quick swatch through mine though and there's an orange Moskvich in there, what else is needed?

Where is the Izh (ish?) now Sam? Did you sell it or is it thrown at the back of a garage somewhere..... .Will we have the advantage of reading more about this, eh... vehicle in the coming months publications? Need a better pic of the insurance collector...

Just wondering did Ben actually sell his brown Allegro, or is he talking about the bad one he bought for spares?.I cant believe some of his colleagues did not row in to help him remove the flywheel......shame on you .

So Neil is training his daughter to the resto game now in very early, except she might be more into vintage tractors instead of classic cars.

I can see her now when she is older, all dressed up in baggy overalls (lets face it these clothes were mainly aimed at men ) coming in from the workshop, hands covered in grease, hair tied up in a bun or pony tail, grease on her face and hair and Neil sitting in his rocking chair, waving his walking stick asking, N:"What are you doing out there dear?"D: "never you mind da, just drink your cocoa before you go to bed" .Did you take your medicine?"I am just off to get some parts for my tractor".

Just looking at the technical queries page and seen your advise re retrofitting reversing light.Why would you need to wire in a relay? Surely 42w (21w each, some cars only have one light) would not be too much to have going through a switch?

The full picture and an apology has been printed in the 'Spring' issue that arrived today.
