That could turn out to be counterproductive, in the sense that the business is rubbing its customers' noses in it simply because they have the privilege of going about when others cannot. Thought: if the McLaren has been hired, does the use of it for takeaway delivery not breach the terms of the hire agreement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to discuss potential and pop you on the waiting list though, should be open again mid-April. I'm not doing automotive art by commission at present, but most other things are fair game.

I was hoping you’d be able to do a Talbot Samba for me. If you do start doing the automotive stuff definitely interested. vulgalour and LightBulbFun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulplom Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 6 mile walk to South Shields and back through the pedestrian Tyne Tunnel. None of us had been through it before. Not a soul anywhere in it and it was quite eeire.Apart from the odd bell end cyclist everyone we did see (single figures) was respectful and kept their distance. The esculator wasn't running although the lift was. The esculator stairs on the South side were the steepest I've ever climbed and I qas fucked for the whole 3 miles home.Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk Vantman, gm, coupso and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myglaren Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I keep threatening to have a walk through that tunnel. My grandson cycles from Washington to Shields Road, Byker, through that twice a day - or did until Boris made him stay home. paulplom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk I believe it had been closed for a long time due to the refurbishments and reopened a year or so back. We used to go the the Shields market and although we knew of the ferry had no idea that there was a tunnel. paulplom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motorpunk Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Did some tinkering with my classic Fiat 500 today. Replaced some fuel hose in the boot (engine compartment), it has an extra fuel filter, a crap plastic in-line thing. It also has one next to the fuel tank under the bonnet. I removed the one in the boot and replaced it with a length of standard fuel hose - fuck me, what a difference! No more slow starting after it has been stood for a while. Really happy with the result. The fuel filter looked clean but was clearly inhibiting flow somehow, especially when hot. It's such a nice thing to drive. Edit - here's a film I made with it last year. 1972 was a good year. paulplom, Remspoor, Skizzer and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you using ethanol compatible fuel hose? If not, especially the older stuff you removed, it'll get eaten away and collapse internally. Also risks splitting and the car ending up having a fuel fire. myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hose I removed from was an earlier restoration in Italy, I used new fuel hose I bought about 5 years ago in the UK, I’ve no idea if it’s ethanol compatible. There’s a fire extinguisher in the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floatylight Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Last night I watched the film Blinded by the light - contains some excellent 1970's & 80's chod- my favourite was an Mk1 Astra Celebrity and a Rover SD1 along with a brilliant soundtrack of 80's pop and Springsteen..

cobblers Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 DJ EZ of early 2000s garage fame is doing a 24 hour non stop set for charity. He's been going since 6pm last night, but it seems he's only just realised that the clocks have gone back so his 6pm-6pm set will actually only be 23 hours warch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
