You know the tablets you use to clean braces and dentures, that might work. Kim and Aggie use them to clean kettles on the televison. I rekon once you have used a hose leaving a fizzing tablet over night would work!

National Rally Next Year

Im not sure who organises the National Rally each year, but who would like for it to be held in Newquay. I know other people have suggested a rally in Newquay, I was jus testing the water, and putting a pole together.

I know it would look better if I had everything re-sprayed, but, again, I can't afford it. Thanks for the advice, I'm quite pleased that you can leave ...

A good one shouldn't be hard to find as scrapyards are full of them. Expect to pay about £5-£10. To make the seat fit, a slot has t...
