  2. So the Toyota you drive has a top engine fault. Toyota say it will take 2 days to fix minimum. Its booked in Next Wednesday but your booked to travel to germany in it next thursday. They wont lend you a car to go abroad in. Do you a) scream, b)kill toyota staff, or c) turn the other cheek because we are British? Grrrrrrr

      All 3 IMO! Sounds like a real pain and I'd want to know why they can't fit it in sooner!You could always try another garage - the laws state it doesn't have to be a manufacturers garage and still keep all warranty benefits etc. Good luck with it

  3. WAKE UP!!!! Highways Agency latest Motorway rip-off scam while Brits slumber

      Totally wrong >:( !! Perhaps we should start sending the Highways Agency bills for damage caused to our vehicles by badly maintained roads!! In North Solihull there are some speed humps that are so akin to tank traps that even busses & fire engines seem to have difficulty getting over them!

  7. I've led a sheltered life. Today, I only learned, that “m&m”s are the same as “Smarties”!

      Smarties are way better than straight chocolate M&M's - where M&M pick up is their peanut ones - and in the USA almond and coconut too (the coconut are DEEEELISH!!!)! And unfortunately micheal delamar, the only have the real smarties tube at Christmas with the big tubes (which even at 45 I get cranky about not getting from Santa!!!) LOL!!

  13. has been told that the modelling room WILL be pressed into service as a dining room today. That has got to be grounds for industrial action or something.

      I remember it in Newhall St. too! Other marvels were Spitfire & Hurricane planes and the one car I really wish I could have had - a Mini Metro (okay, so it was the 6R4 - 3.5litres of raw power - a fantastic rally car until the foreign manufacturers got teed off with it's winning performance and got it banned from rallying)! Miss that old place!

  15. Get rid of my OO ?? and go N-gauge ?? what do you think ?

    1. charles2

      charles2

      Maybe try a small project in N & see how you feel about it. Think of it as being in a restaurant & order steak & chips 'cos you like them, but try the steak cooked differently this time - you still get the 'fix' of the steak & you still get the 'fix' of the railways.

      Just a thought to ponder!

      Hi!

      You're looking at the locations I'm modelling for my layout - Pz to Camborne & back! Unfortunately Long Rock has to be compressed due to size constraints (an HST set at about 10ft long!), bubt Pz station will be scale size, with compression being around the throat (not, I hasten to add, strangulation!!) near the signal box. If you look on my profile you should find a link to my website that shows what I'm up to etc!

      Loved your gallery...
