Car boot season is starting, a good place to top up your tool collection. Car boot sales are the best place to find your imperial tools for very little outlay. Tips; Take an old strong carrier bag with you when you are walking round. Take some wet wipes to clean your hands after rummaging in the box...

Don't be too harsh on the modifier/restorer they have made a nice car, I agree too pricey, it may not be standard by a long way and certainly not a concours show winner. How many minors on the road have had mod's of some kind....probably quite a lot. Cars have always had extra's fitted or upgraded, ...

My 62 two door developed a horrible juddering vibration when coming to a stop, I suspected the worst, dampers or worn bushes, but it was a simple fix. I checked the damper bolts, all tight, looked for loose fastenings and all seemed ok, so front wheels off drums off and found lots of brake dust in t...

I often start in second if it's possible. From a full standstill, I use first but if the car is moving the slightest bit, I try to get away with second.

The info on this s...
