Hey Guys, I meant to put this up a while ago, I treated my keys to few new fobs. I had them made by http://www.classicleatherfobs.co.uk/ I'm not attached to the company in any way, just very very happy with the customer service and the quality of the fobs. I was sent two more than ordered as Richard who made them wasn't 100% happy with the way the stuffing made the enamel shield sit on the leather, so sent some un padded ones as well! Which was a really nice surprise and unexpected.

I'll try to get some pictures up if anyone is interested, let me know. I would highly recommend them to you if you want something nice to attach to your keys. I Splashed out on some of the Russian Leather fobs, which smelt amazing when I unwrapped them, and still smell wonderfully smokey now, as well as having some of their normal key rings for all sets of keys for the Scimitar and the Minor, had some for a few years now and am just about to send one back for repair after I smashed the Reliant enamel by mistake whilst working on the car!

I cant remember from the top of my head, but I think they are in £20 mark for the russian leather and less for normal. But don't quote me on that. I will try to get some pictures up when I get a chance. The guy who makes them Richard is lovely to deal with as well.

Poor old ignition switch, with all that weight! No wonder some Minors can use any old key to start them! :D

This is an absolutely true story.
Many years ago I bought a Wolseley 15/50 off a church Cannon and it had a St Christopher badge screwed to the dash.
The car was beautiful, had done very few miles and the bonnet stretched for miles and it had that illuminated Wolseley badge on the radiator grill.
Well from the day I bought it I had no end of problems with the car.
The cure:-
Took the St Christopher badge off the dash and the car performed perfectly.
Now I do nor know if the two things are related but I never had any trouble with that Wolseley afterwards.

It's obvious Phil, St Christopher is the patron saint of Travellers not Wolseleys!

Never thought of it like that?
Wolseley ran as sweet as a sheep shearing machine (sic) afterwards :roll:

Maybe St christopher was saving you from traffic jams? doubtful but who knows, or you could have put an old man on the roof and forded a river?

As for the tight pants, I would look ridiculous! Haven't seen the advert, but should try to I guess. :)
