Incorrect, look at the link and discussion above.

Make sure your licence covers you to tow a caravan or trailer :o All full licences allow you to tow a trailer, as per: https://www.gov.uk/towing-rules#:~:text=You%20need%20a%20full%20car,t%20more%20than%203%2C500kg.

This stuff only applies after ~1995, as I understand it, otherwise it is grandfather rights and you are OK.

I'm wondering whether your speedo might be out ;) With a diff change of course it will affect this.... I have a 1098 on an 803 gearbox (don't ask, inherited) with 1098 back axle, the first two gears are used up very quickly indeed! ...and third is more like two and a half. Still, great for pottering...

There are frosted versions and lensed versions which help distribute the light far better these days.

Also, if they have a coloured 'condom' on them (e.g. green), this helps to diffuse the light as well.

E10 is already here, look for it on the pumps...

Disingenuous implies intent to deceive, which isn't very nice. Such is the nature of discourse on the internet, though. It's a figure being bandied around by the doom-mongering press, so, I wasn't targeting you with the accusation of deception, but the press, apologies. They do love a good dose of ...

To count the people that are never going to be offered the jab is somewhat disingenuous.

Besides, the antibody survey says 93% have protection.... kids make sup more than 7% of pop.

Finally got my second dose, was quite a wait for those in their thirties. Still feels premature to de-mask and risk hurting others when only ~50% of the population are vaccinated. I read the higher R rate of the Delta variant means we'll need to be at over 80% coverage (that includes immunity from ...

Piece of steel with a start of a drilled hole in it to support the rivet head, clamp in vice.

Drift with a hollow point, much like a nail punch on the other side, and whack it hard:
You aren't trying to hold the Titanic together, so very likely that will do fine.

but they're not 'Snow Poles', they're just regular road edge markers as Germany doesn't use 'Cats Eyes' like the UK does. 2 dots on left maker and vertical bar on the right. I hate to point out the obvious, but apart from being a bit on the short side, White Posts aren't generally a lot of good as ...

Looks like Germany or that area with the snow poles at the side of the road.

That looks fantastic

If you can feel any lip around the bores, and I reckon you probably can, then the block definitely needs a skim. Fingers crossed all goes back together well, very soon :) I can, but mainly carbon deposits around the top of the bores. If the block is skimmed, is there a problem with the pistons clea...

Looks like a USA plate and there's probably nothing illegal about it over there.

Ah, hadn't spotted that, thanks. Yes, perfectly legal over there, most likely.

....and another illegal as well.

Even states the build date on the ad!

I knew it would be controversial posting this, but that's OK ;) If you want real controversy just post ‘cats are better than dogs’ Like most things in life, there is a third way, I'd rather, and do, have neither :p I managed to find the artists concept for this on Twitter, won't be to everyone's ta...

Everyone is allowed an opinion, especially on a car, and certainly not worth falling out over ;) In the following episodes there's a lot more detail, especially around the bodywork widening, nose re-shaping, and as you say, floors. The chassis ends up being made essentially from a tube transmission ...

I take some of you reasonable chaps on here have seen the work going into what promises to be a very nice 'restomod' cars, over on the Retropower Youtube channel? They give weekly updates covering all their projects, but there is almost always some MM content, here's their first video in the 'Retrop...
