The Wormit Station building - which the train departed from - now sits at Bo'ness!

maybe the signal will fall on it next time round

It reminds me of some of the threads on here. Going round and round in circles but not actually getting anywhere

Heh heh ! Seriously though - why won't it go round now - has something been done to it by Mods ? Or - is it just needing wound up again ?

Post by **LouiseM** » Sun Dec 27, 2009 4:45 pm

It's still going round on my pc Roy

You're probably the best person to wind it up though if it needs doing

and unfortunately on mine

Hmmmm - so - it's only mine that has run down ? As you say Louise -I'm possibly the best winder-upperer around!

it's only mine that has run down

You've obviously wound everyone else's up but forgotten to do your own

Looks like it - how strange! Still - as long as your's are still running ok.........

Must be snow or frozen leaves on the line BM, darn things still flying around here in the warmth of Warwickshire

I'm still being held at the signal. Tried logging off and on again - no different. Hmm - maybe will shut down and re-start computer. very strange.

That train is running to some very odd signalling principles!

it's not going round anymore!

maybe the pistons have been put in backwards to save time?

I did not think this topic would get out of control but...
The master cylinder is back in with reversed bolts and jam nuts (about half the thickness of a standard nut). I drive about 32,000 miles per year but I think the minor will only go about 3,000miles per year so we will keep an eye on the torsion bars and keep you posted.

With thin nuts I bet you'll be fine. Well done for getting it fixed.

As for the mileage - most people over here end up driving more miles in the Minor if they get a choice, but that's because there other cars are MG's or Triumphs...
I'm not sure what it'd be like driving a Minor in the US, but I expect it would be less stressful than here (town's and cities here are rather like racetracks)
