Dynamo queston by Pete W
Hi, The dynamo on my 1936 MG has been unused for the best part of 30 years. Stripping it shows all the bits to be there and in remarkably good order, the com needed a clean but the brushes etc look perfect. My question is, should my next pair of jeans be comfort, straight leg or boot fit? I'm 48.

Oldest faces? by Al.Rivero@gmail.com
We are intrigued about a philosophical question: When did the automobile start to have a "face"? I mean, two eyes from the ligths, and occassionaly evident nose and mouth from the radiator, the motor trunk, and the start device (even a tongue!). But mainly two "eyes". Most modern pictures of classic cars show the lights, but sometime I am in doubt because they seem to be detachable, either...

Obit: LJKS (Guardian, 2005/09/19) by ANDREW ROBERT BREEN
RIP LJKS. Obituary in the Guardian today: http://www.guardian.co.uk/obituaries/story/0,3604,1573092,00.html#article_continue Setright's writing may not have been to everyone's taste (any more that his taste in vehicles might have been), but his column was instrumental in getting me interested in old cars (and odd ones, and ones out of the mainstream). Hope the mice will no longer trip over...

Traffic needed. Can anyone help? by Paul King
Hey everyone, I'd like to ask your advice, or at least the advice of all of you who are either interested in, or already involved in, creating income from the internet. I'm not exactly experienced in on-line money making, in fact all I've managed so far is money losing! I don't suppose anyone gets it completely right first time so I'm sure you all know what I mean. Probably my failings are due...

Hi, I've just got to share this with everyone. It's totally free and a real life-changer! It's not every day that a guy who earns millions every year on the internet decides to tell anyone who's interested exactly how he does it. One things for sure, this is going to upset a heck of a lot of so called "gurus" when they find out that their money spinning secrets are being exposed. This site...

Stomberg CD175-2 carbs - off what? by Willy Eckerslyke
I was given a nice assortment of Triumph Vitesse bits recently. In the box of carbs were a pair of CD175-2 Strombergs (usual Vitesse ones are CD150s). I'll stick them on Ebay, but it would help to know what they're off. Any ideas? They have red labels on saying "emission control systems". Does that imply US spec? http://www.sos.bangor.ac.uk/~oss108/cd175s.jpg As usual, any info gratefully...

Worrying Thoughts by Bernard
I don't want to worry you but, I have just been up to the Outwoods with Alan (and Robbie) and he tells me that Diana has already decided that the Wedding will be at Brooksby Church with the Reception in the Hall and Hannah will be a Bridesmaid, and that she (Diana) is going to have a new and very expensive outfit. As I said, Worrying isn't it !!!!!. All my love. XX Bernard XX

Smelling of roses... by Ian Johnston
Hi Folks, In the next day or two I'll be laying up the DS for the winter. She lives under a cover in a nearby barn. Experience is that she stays nice and dry but that there is a bit of a stale whiff inside after six months. Anyone got any bright ideas about what I could do to counter that? I thought of Magic Tree / Feux Orange / etc but I don't really want her to smell like a Milton Keynes...
