    Lack of car magazines

    Use the Tescos in Fulbourn near Cambridge and use to treat myself to a classic car magazine now and again, they’ve hardly got any in there now. There was one copy of Classic & Sports Car and a Classic Car Weekly paper yesterday. Suppose just the sign of the times.

    Any car paint experts on here.

    I had a tin of spray paint mixed up by a local car paint specialist. It was for touching up the odd stone chip by spraying some into the cap and using a rolled up tissue to touch the stone chips up. Anyway I bought that tin 2019 and today decided I would get a new tin from the same place, Verde...

    All in a day’s work

    Went shopping earlier, a fox ran out and I ended up with a part of the bumper missing. Bought a s/h one from scrap dealer in silver for £50, bought two tins of Colorado red spray and 4 sheets of 800 wet and dry. After some faffing with seized bolts I got the old bumper off and new one sprayed up...

    I see it’s 1990 all over again

    Those of us who remember the classic car boom of the late 80s will remember the crash circa 1990 and dealers/private sales still after top money when the market was tumbling. Well it seems the market is in a similar position with expensive high end cars. As Maserati prices have been pretty...

    Things you've kept that you thought would be worth a lot one day but are not.

    I've kept all my train sets, pristine in the original boxes, Triang, Hornby-Dublo etc from my youth in the 60s and 70s and looking at prices on ebay, they're are not worth much at all. I guess they were sold in huge amounts and quite a few people thought the same as me so even today they're not...

    Tired of this weather

    As someone who only brings my car out in the dry weather I think the last time I took it out was at Barrington at the start of the month. Let’s hope things improve in August.

    Anyone in South Cambs/ North Herts good car meet.

    A great car gathering on the first Friday of the month between April-October (Also New Years Day) at the Royal Oak in Barrington. It's on a village green and if the weather is good you need to get there before 5pm to get a place as it gets that packed.

    Does anyone else miss jukeboxes in pubs and clubs?

    The local covers band murdering Sweet Child O' Mine seems preference over jukeboxes these days. I'm guessing it creates more of a party atmosphere but being a bit of a party pooper I avoid loud bands in pubs.

    Car shows

    Been to 3 car shows this year and they’ve been a total disappointment. Today at St Albans, took ages to get in at the Oakland College Herts Show to be directed to a half cut field, been more suitable if I rocked up in a Massey-Ferguson tractor. There was two fields of cars and one coffee/burger...

    Is it me or is the door a different shade? Car like I’d would’ve had the front wing and rear quarter panel blown in.

Like always on Pistonheads threads there’s always someone commenting who knows fa about the particular car in question but has to give his twopeneth. 8 to the gallon and sluggish It’s overpriced, it shouldn’t be £22000, it should be...
