    Never seen this in the supermarket

    Saw this on a shelf in a customers stores today which led me to asking a few questions. "Why do you need this, what do Woodpeckers do that's so bad?" Apparently, down here in Cornwall and Devon, National Grid have a problem with Woodpeckers attacking rural sited wooden power poles, and...

    So we can define roadsters as small and compact?

    What about this baby then? Jean Buggatti with one of the seven Buggatti Royale's he built. I think he only made seven because he didn't have anywhere to put them

    Can anyone help with possible radio upgrade

    I've been looking for a newish but retro looking radio for my zed and low and behold, I got a new works van a month or so ago and it came with one that ticked all the boxes for me. It's a "plain Jane" looking item but I thought it would suit me down to the ground. It's DAB, FM and AM with...

    I've got my rusty sills off my car and am pleasantly surprised that the under sills are very good on the sides of the car but underneath, especially near the jacking points where the underbody protection has been rubbed off it looks like deep rust.

    I'm putting one of my Zeds into storage

    First time out of my garage since 2019 so gave her a quick wipe over before going onto the transporter. She still scrubs up nicely eh? "Hello Porsche, I'm your new neighbour for the foreseeable future" After being the victim of cat converter thieves I decided that I wasn't going to risk...

For some reason the minesweepers don't go into dry dock, they are lifted out of the water and laid on wooden blocks in the shed Here's another view from...
