Re: pictures
The other thing you can do if you use Picasa is to email pictures to yourself. This dramatically reduces the file size.

Re: Insurance
Got to go with the flow. Lancaster were 3 times cheaper for me also. What is more, in my ignorance, I didn't realise that a no claims bonus can only apply to one car. The Lancaster quote was about £85 based on full ncb but when I explained the situation they gave me the equivalent 'good driver disco...

Re: Room in the cab ?
I am 6'2" and many moons ago, when my back was more flexible, I ran a Minor van for a while. I would have to say that it was not the most comfortable experience! Having said that, in days gone by seats in cars were rarely built for comfort.

Re: TV classic cars
Classic Car Rescue is without a doubt the most appalling television but I do watch with a sort of awful fascination. If you watch on Demand 5 you can speed through the stupid staged arguments and instead spot the anomalies! After the fun of the MGB restoration where the back axle just 'dropped off' ...

Re: Axle tramp in an 803?
About 40 years ago I had an 803 into which I inserted a 948 engine, gearbox and prop shaft which I got from a scrap yard. The gearing was all completely wrong so that axle tramp made first gear unusable. It would still take off like a rocket in second but was pretty much flat out at 50 mph. No syncr...

Re: Interior Mist Repellent vs Hot Wet Dog!
The Mist Repellent that I have is a clear liquid that you apply with a clean cloth to clean glass. Then allow to dry and polish glass with a soft cloth. Seems to work. It was a cold morning this morning and on the way back I noticed that the chrome around the windows had condensation but the glass w...

Re: Interior Mist Repellent vs Hot Wet Dog!
I seem to recall that it was popular to cut a potato in half and wipe the cut edge over the screen. Whether that works or not I have no idea! Controversially I have also put Rainex on the outside of the windows and rain is certainly running off beautifully.

Interior Mist Repellent vs Hot Wet Dog!
Ok, so it is that time of the year again when the world vanishes behind a fog of misted up windows. Yesterday I dug out the Halfords Interior Mist Repellent and treated the windscreen, side and back door glass. I left the rear side windows for comparison purposes. This morning I loaded up Cookie the...

Re: Tcut word of warning!
After the Tcut comes lashings of Autoglym which seems to seal it all up well. I have actually put a coat of Autoglym over the varnish on the wood just see if it helps to keep water out of the joints over the winter.

As a lad I swapped my Morris Minor for an MG Magnette. Now, that was a back seat!

Re: Tcut word of warning!
True. Having said that, it working well with the rubbing compound but Tcut is that much more liquid.
