New POD got a reaction from Rightnider in The grumpy thread
Noticed a little issue in my daughter's bedroom in the corner. Little evidence of a leak
started to investigate. Removed some Wall paper to find the lining paper covered in mould.
and investigate more. Under the pink painted lining paper on the outside wall the plaster was pretty damp.
Took off the lining paper on the party wall.
And scraped off the mould
Looks like there's some sort of small leak from the corner of the loft conversion above, which starts about 50 cm in from the outside wall, and has found an outlet right at the corner.
Roofer, coming Tuesday.

There's a point in life where changing gear by pressing a pedal and moving a stick is just such a faff.

New POD reacted to Jenson Velcro in Optimistic Speedometer Thread. Your most unbelievable MPH.
1980’s Vauxhalls:
1200 Nova indicated 120 on the clock down Haldon Hill on the A38 near Exeter
1300 Cavalier, again 120 indicated with 4 on board. No rev counter in the Cav but you knew when to change up as the dashboard started bouncing up and down.
Vauxhall certainly made very willing, free reving engines back then, and company cars were always the fastest.

The answer is to the question is that your van.
It's not my van. I burruwed it off shamus back at the site, and knowing him he prub'ly rubbed it, why d'you wanna to know?
NOW. Whilzt am ere... Are you interested in a dawg or some tarmac coz I can ask patrik to come round, if you are, and we've got some lovely pups for sale. Proper fighting Dawgs they'll be. I can put one aside for you..

New POD got a reaction from Lacquer Peel in Amelia's Automotive Adventures - Big sister/Little sister
You say totally different car, but the patent is probably owned by TRW (now ZF ?). Which came out of a project at Lucas Car Brakes Fen End near Solihull in the 90s.

They are going to.have a shock when "Travellers" move in next door then.
The best thing about moving is winding up your new neighbours even before you move in, putting them on the back foot for months.

New POD got a reaction from greengartside in 1987 Ford Sierra Sapphire 1.8L - Fun* with exhaust system - see page 28
I was stopped by plain clothes police drugs squad officers for overtaking them down the Dock Road in Liverpool. It was a week after I passed my driving test. In my dad's dangly mirror beige base 1.6 estate. Probably doing 80 mph in what is Now a 30. I think it was a 60 in those days. Got a bit of advice at the side of the road.
Not taking the advice I spun that car on the coast road at Southport about 6 months later. No visible damage. 🤔
A few years later I got his Sapphire 1.8LX up to an indicated 136 on a German Autobahn at 2 am heading for Stuttgart. He was asleep. When he woke up he was complaining about how much fuel I'd used.
He took me off the insurance when I got his 2.0 16V ghia estate sideways on a motorway roundabout in the dry. Probably shouldn't have done it with him in the passenger seat. 30 years later he still won't put me on his insurance.
