"Our tow car of choice seems to be causing quite a stir en route to Angouleme. We can't work out if Martin is a genius or crazy, perhaps both?

 

To confirm, yes, that is a 1929 Bentley Blower towing a Porsche 962. All the way from Guildford, England."

I'm off out to a gig tonight : Maiden Scotland - a sctsh Iron Maiden tribute band. I shall report back later on, once many beers have been consumed :)

Brilliant gig - a great band playing a great set of mostly early Maiden songs - aces high, number of the beast, iron maiden, the trooper, rime of the ancient mariner and a stonking version of Run to the Hills at the end ! many beers were consumed and a good time was had by all :)

Been branded a 'know it all on here recently'

 

There was a Peugeot 405 in my local scrappie with amongst other problems, a rotten roof. You know, where they often rot by the sunroof.

 

As they had a grinder nearby I chopped a section of roof out and you know what? Not even the smallest trace of underseal was to be found. Well I never. 405s do rot after all ☺

The pull start on my £20 chinesium mower has been 90% fucked for years, I took it all apart for it's 12 weekly service where I take the carb apart and blow all the grit out of it, scrape the soot off the spark plug and bray all the dr marten boot shaped dents out of the side of it that were causing the shroud to rub on the fan.

 

This time the pull start fully erupted in cogs and springs and the rewind spring fired off across the garden like a bandsaw blade. I can't believe it's taken me this long to bite the bullet and just chuck it all away and start it properly:

 

 

This will save hours of swearing every week, why did I never think of this before?
