  1. All the leaves are brown And the sky is grey I've been for a walk On a winter's day

  2. Vintage Rover and broken leaf spring. Hmm not a good combination

      I've just renewed both leaf springs and all bushes on my Morris Minor as they were quite saggy. Made a great difference!

  3. Making a sign, a neighbours daughter insists on parking in front of my garage and preventing turning around when coming into or out of my parking space meaning you have to reverse onto a busy main road. Not a problem at this precise moment but in a few short weeks my brother and I will need both the space and the garage everyday.

      Having a similar problem at the moment with my late grandads house. People know the driveway/gates aren't in use so are parking in front. I parked on the drive today as we were taking his Morris to the car show at Crich. Came to find my car blocked in and having to go knock on doors!

  5. Coincidence that googling Windows and android product reviews seem to cause iPad safari to crash even more often than usual? Definitely sourcing a replacement post Christmas, I've had enough of this "premium" product, sorry pile of junk that makes me look illiterate because it types what it thinks I want, not what I know I want

  8. Bachmann!!! Why do you put drivers in one cab??? You go through all the trouble to include things like directional lighting, independently controlled tail lights, cab lights etc. and then the daft piece of logic comes along - you put a driver in one cab!!! Urghh do you'll know how disgusting it looks when models are running backwards??? Just keep those "non-human like" drivers as a spare for buyers to fit!!

    1. Sam Moss

      Sam Moss

      Its hardly disgusting. If you're wanting to be more prototypical you shouldn't be running with the cab lights on anyway.

      I remember when I was a kid my parents ordered a new three piece suite. Told us it would arrive on let say a thursday so we got rid of old one on Wednesday. Thursday morning "Sorry there has been a problem and it'll be at least a week for us to correct the order" wouldn't have been too bad but the other suite we have, a 1930's art deco one was on load to Derby museums for a exhibition. Ended up on pillows and bean bags for two weeks!

      Cameron came to our community centre in Riddings a few years ago just after he didn't out right win the election. First thing people in the village knew about it was when we saw it on the 18.30 local news. He came apparently to "meet the people"

  17. what idiot in Lima management approved the production of the pancake motor

      One who saw the benefit of a hard wearing design that needs little maintenance to keep them running. I don't get why people knock them so much. They're fit for purpose.
