In case anyone was thinking of going, I have just heard that the Astle Park Steam Rally in Cheshire which should have been on the 15-16 August, and normally attracts quite a good turn out of pre war and classic cars (150+), has been cancelled as the organisers have gone under.

Hi folks! I have acquired a very old car ammeter. It is brass and at the top of a circular panel about 9 cm in diameter. Under the meter are three push-pull silver knobs marked DYN LTS DIM. I would put a photo on here but I imagine the newsgroup does not take them. I am wondering what car it's from so I can go to the right newsgroups to offer it for sale. Must be rare. Someone may well be...

Gentlemen, Does anybody know where I might be able to purchase the middle section silencer and pipe for a series 1 1969 3500 P6. Thanks, Martin P

Dear All, I'm on the point of taking my Herald for her first MOT in ten years. At the moment the front wheelarches are in body colour paint and the rear ones are in primer. I'll like to put on something more robust. I'm not bothered about colour - black will be fine. What would the panel recommend? Aerosol stonechip? I have some POR chassis black in stock

I have a 1965 S Type which is still positive earth - as the range of FM radios is limited the sensible option is to change the polarity. I've had and converted +ve earth cars before but these were Minors and Heralds and the Jag has a few other bits that may cause potential problems. A couple of assumptions and queries: 1. The tacho is separate from the electrical system and relies on an AC

i'm trying to find some triumph, standard triumph or standard customised cars, be they nice and clean and tidy or rat cars. TIA cheers

Hi, I am considering a Silver Shadow or Silver Spur/Sprit as my next car, and wondered if any owners on here could answer some, Rolls-Royce newbie questions. Firstly, I have noticed the (in the UK where I am) that there isn't much difference in the prices of Shadows and Spur/Sprits. I was wondering why this is? As I would have expected the Spur/Sprits to be higher, as they are newer. So is...

My VW camper has an automatic transmission with the rear support in the form of a 4" x 1" rubber lined slot. Into this fits a flat metal plate which bolts to the chassis. The rubber is worn and the metal plate is a very sloppy fit, and I haven't been able to find a replacement. Does anybody know how you'd get this refurbished or is there a DIY solution? Frost have a hard rubber moulding kit,...

Found today that my blade had slipped and allowed the chrome arm to sweep across the screen during yesterdays downpour - got an arc-shaped scratch on passenger side now I've cleaned all the bugs off :( What's the current thinking about what's best to use to try and polish this out? Cheers!

You mob over there here's some Etiquette advice, note that cars are mentioned :) ....................................................................... IN GENERAL 1. Never take an open stubby to a job interview. 2. Always identify people in your paddocks before shooting at them. 3. It's tacky to take an esky to church. 4. If you have to vacuum the bed, it's time to change the sheets.

I've got a 1958 Morris Isis and I've just bought an overdrive gearbox that was fitted to a Wolseley 6/90. This should be a 4-speed gearbox but unfortunately I suspect that it is a 3 speed overdrive unit from a 6/99 because on the top of the gearbox is a 'badge' which says Type 29-O-3 Can anyone here confirm/deny that I've got the wrong gearbox? thanks in advance, -- Robert

HI Folks Can anybody recommend a supplier for aerosol paint (specifically Almond Green) for my '64 Morris Traveller ? Mail-order essential (to Ireland) - online presence even better! The old girl's had a fairly poor 'blow over' paintjob before I got her - and the rust is starting to come though in places - the pain't just too thin in others. I have a touch-up pot of paint - but my brush...

I couldn't believe this. About 4pm today, 14 May 2009, some idiot in a green Ford Escort P59 MFM. In too much of a hurry between Bootle and Waterloo in Liverpool (pikey place). Trasffic was queuing up in all 3 lanes, he was forcing his way between lanes and at one stage almost forced a blue toyota into the central reservation. He waved a knife, flicked a V sign at the driver and sped off...
