Thanks T9, my fleet is actually dwindling I am down to only 4 cars and one of those is sale pending! Trouble is they are all insured so it gets a bit expensive!!

Hi Waynne, well spring is slowly making its appearance here in southwest France so after a month of not being able to work on any of my projects I am looking forward to getting stuck in. We have had some serious snow here, one day I went into my barn/workshop to discover the car and half the...

Thanks Joe, any others?

Hey guy's (and gals) I want some advice on scoobies as I am thinking of purchasing one. Tips and pointers as to the models to avoid and running costs in general. Ta!

Heres a few more as they are being appreciated ;)

There is a large town not far from me called Angouleme and they have this street race that goes back to the 1930's. A few years ago it was under threat of ending due to new health & safety & euro laws etc etc. The race and tour of the vineyards is very well supported by Brits especially the...

:lol: We've all been there I am sure, never needed any help with explitives though:blink1:

It may be the boring side of tweeking and restoring cars,trucks whatever but its the first thing .....and MOST important thing you learn in any workshop. Good point made by Wayne on getting help with heavy lifting and its always advisable to have help nearby when attempting to remove engines or...

I would like to see some advise on safety procedures, just basic stuff like jacking up AND supporting cars on proper axle stands, the wearing of safety goggles and gloves when welding/grinding and suitable clothing, seems daft but just today I saw in the press a young girl had been killed when...

Previous owner might have tried DIY lowering by cutting off a coil from the standard spring and losing the locating tang on the end of the coil, causing the spring to rotate in its mounting cups , especially noticed on full lock:blink1:

Forget the periferique, who's tried negotiating the rond pointe at the Arc d Triomphe....... . . . . :confused: You can throw away the rule book to start with:lol:

Here for the beer.......... of course the wine, sun, clear fast straight roads and lots of sunshine......semi retired and married so one out of 3 of your suggestions was true Wayne:amuse: No salt or chemicals used in snow or ice so cars last longer, not sure about people though:blink: The...

Looked in shop but sadly no brake pads listed for my workhorse Honda:(

Did they make a 205 GTi DIESEL then:lol:........ . . . .and Loz nice to see a fellow supporter of H4H;)
