Re: Insurance outside garage

I was told by Footman James that as I have the car garaged, it needs to be in it! If I leave it on the drive, or outside the house for any reason it will not be insured, unless I tell them prior to doing this, so phone them up and tell them it is no longer garaged and you will be covered, but you wi...

Re: Best Paint restoring compound to use?

Try the Farecla range, G5 is good, on a polishing mop, but they do different grades, you should be able to get the colour back with this and then finish of with Auto Glym resin polish afterwards, or National Car polish, which is even better!

Re: Best colour and trim set's for Travellers??

I like Empire green, but it was discontinued in 1956! I am biased as it is the colour of mine, but looks very good with the ash!

Oh dear! Let's hope the Morris register responds better to your views, funny really, I have been a member since 1985 and have made many good friends, even when I went to the national 3 years ago, and didn't know anyone, the Northern Ireland branch and the Yorkshire branch looked after me! I wish you...

Re: 2013 national Saturday :((((

Well I had a great time! As for Audrey1955, I am not surprised at what she had to say, reading the harsh and rude comments before the event, which were later removed, her latest comments are to be expected. Well done to all the unpaid volunteers who gave up so much of their time, and thank you again...

Re: Thefts at Cornbury Park

I also heard that the club spares stand had some expensive items stolen too!
A bit of a worry, as I often leave my car un-locked at events, perhaps we all need to be more aware, what a shame!

What a lovely photo! When was it taken? Mid 60s by the look of it! Interesting sticker, would be nice to find out more, I would imagine a rare survivor.

Re: THE GOOD LORD GIVETH..............

Why not get it re-chromed? Mine was like yours, so I sent it to a decent chromer and it looks great now! Nice having the original enamel bits, if yours is really bad then try to get a slightly better one and get that done. All the chrome I have had re-done is so much better and has lasted so much lo...

Re: 948cc vs 1098cc

Well I have just put a 948 back in mine, after having a 1098.
It is so much sweeter and runs and sounds so much better!
It is a bit slower up hills, but that is all, and I am still running it in! :D

Re: Where to buy Traveller timber

I would go to Steve Foreman, a brilliant chap, his woodwork is excellent and he can supply lots of information on how to fit it all too, as well as different wood treatments. He has been doing it for years too, the first ash sections I bought off him was in 1987, and 25 years on they are as good as ...
