  1. When did ‘flames’ first appear as a decoration on cars? Is it known who started it, and why? Thanks steve
  2. Me neither! That’s been hit very hard with the ugly stick. steve
  3. I was convinced it was a Peerless or Warwick at first but the lack of the little fin at the back squashed that idea. Should have known it was an AC! ?‍♂️ steve
  4. Finally finished power washing my driveway. Took three sessions with a different area each time but the results are very pleased pleasing. Now all I have to do is resand it! steve
  5. You’re missing the best one. ? steve
  6. Very pleased and proud to hear that one of our granddaughters, Keeley, aged 12, is competing for Scotland at the World Dance Championship in Prague later this year. steve
  7. Friend of mine has just bought this. steve
  8. I understand that a degree of negative camber can assist road holding, but surely excessive angles ruin tyres and are potentially dangerous? steve
  9. Very nicely done! I have the Roadster version of the ‘32 still to build. steve
  10. They are really good! steve
  11. Why would anyone have a column change on a car of that type? steve
  12. Just collected this Skoda Octavia Estate 1.5 SEL this afternoon. 3 years old, low mileage, 6sp manual and lots of toys! steve
  13. In the words of Metallica, Sad But True… steve
  14. Amongst UK railway enthusiasts, the overhead catenary is known as “the knitting”. ? steve
  15. At the car wash. Nice looking car, I’ve always thought. steve
  16. It’s the Ford Timelord from the video for the song Doctorin’ The TARDIS by The Timelords. steve
  17. I was pleased to be told yesterday that, after an uncomfortable colonoscopy, there was no sign of any cancer or other unwanted issues. I have a CT scan coming up in a couple of weeks that, hopefully, will confirm there is nothing to worry about and it’s just, basically, down to wear and tear due to age. All of this doesn’t cost me a penny, thanks to our wonderful National Health Service. For which I am eternally grateful. steve
  18. I’m fairly sure that’s Santa Pod, the UK’s first dedicated strip. Went there a few times on the early 1970s. The push car looks to be a Gilbern; strange choice! steve
