Seems Jean has remained free of symptoms so far.

I went on a coach trip yesterday, and on the way home my throat felt a little sore. During the evening the throat got worse, as though I had a cold coming, and this morning I got a positive Covid test. BUM. :( That was Tuesday morning. I hadn't lost my sense of smell/taste, but this morning they ha...

Steve, if you need any parts for this ask on here. I've got a lot of things that in reality, I'm never going to use so I'd rather see them go to a good home.

My first car was a yellow Austin Allagro. £600. It was the sports version as it only had 2 doors ;-). Only ever ran on 3 of the 4 cylinders. I remember jacking it up one day to change the wheel and the cill collapsed on to the jack because of corrosion. There was a little more ventilation in the ca...

One day I called at a small premises in Maldon town, and in the back part was a machine knocking out plastic (or nylon) Lockheed master cylinder screw caps as used on Minis and other British cars.

Can't remember to be honest.

I saw a survey where Americans were asked "what is the most British car of all time".

The answer was the Mini Cooper, the original early 60s one not the BMW version.
