Morris Minor Owners Club

I had a Ford do this after a service, and we ended up taking off the battery lead off to cure it, then as normal we had no radio and someone suggested it maybe written on the radio so i used the prongs and slid out the unit and there was a hand written code on a sticker, i am guessing the previous o...

I think the link below shows the part in the engine on the pictures, as smithskids said it side valve oil pump,

Before i start on my traveller i have a 1978 mini that i want to practice on and i have found a few old repairs hidden under thick body filler, but its a good practice car as i want it for a daily user and as many people have told me once you take a car off the road to do resto work it can be years ...

Yes i remember wasting my youth standing at those machines, and i have just "wasted" another hour on pacman using my raspberry pi emulator, not as nice as the original console version but still a nice bit of a flash back.

I started out on the Atari 2600 woody, but this link below might jog your memory on consoles before atari, i bet early complete boxed ones are worth mega bucks now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_h ... e_consoles

Lovely collection, I wish i had kept more of my games, The good news is i have kept everything from megadrive onwards mainly boxed and safe and i have a 28" 4:3 crt screen to play on, I just need carefree time.

Great work, i have always thought roof gutters are my ultimate nightmare, really good to see detailed pictures of how your doing this.

Arcade machines hold alot of memories for me, i grew up playing them before the home consoles become the thing, i miss the old games so i am in the early stages of building a full size arcade machine, I have a few spare pc monitors and a raspberry pi and a box of buttons and joysticks, I might just ...

A toll ?, thats just another stealth tax, It might be better to put a McDonalds at either end of the tunnel and just create one huge drive through and then get McDonalds to build the new tunnel, If you are an MP reading this please do not take this idea and make it real,

Is this tunnel still used, I thought the current tunnel was moved a bit, Either way it makes me wonder how the men who made this ever did it, Inustiral Britain ay it's best.

Thanks for the information, i do prefer things that last, i have been using my old broom wade dentists comressor for airbrush work but it is loud in the same room, still good for about 40 years old.

I have a cheap airbrush from toolstaion, i have tried pond air pumps and small electric pumps but none seem to have the kick to make it go, i found it ok on my big compressor but as i use it for arty farty stuff i am looking at getting one of theses http://www.amazon.co.uk/FoxHunter-KMS-Airbrush-Com...

Failing after just over a year is very bad, i would argue the merchandisable quality is poor, I think for what you have spent three years would be a fair time before you had problems, If its a Factor/ lease building i would argue the products are bad and that they should absorb this or contribute to...

Boxing is not what it was, i remember when it was about two men hitting each other in a sporting way, now it has become about selling tickets on sky channels and hate,i have moved to watching MMA it seems more about the sport than the money.

I reckon with 60 kilos of body filler and 20 of us we could have that flat in a weekend and ready for a quick prime.

As a rule i wait as long as i can before oving to the next version of Windows, At the moment i still have windows 7 ulitmate on my system, I tried widows 8 versions but those mad metro fronts ends and easy user systems made it a pain, Remember when computers were simple ...fancy installing Windows 9...

Very nice site, i used to love those stickers in airfix models i did have some paper you could make decals from in a pc printer but they always fade.

The cordless drill to open and close the windows looks good, and i have used a cordless to start a petrol lown mower in the past by making a hole in the cover by the pull cord and using a old socket and extension bar.

Great work i love to see anything mended and re-used rather than be thrown away, Araldite is amazing for many jobs and I have used powder pigments from plastic industries with it in the past, they were normally left over from clearances, but i have found i can buy pigments and all sorts of plastic m...

These days i wear goggles, over head ear defenders, safety boots, gloves and a decent mask to stop all the dust entering my lungs, they can all be a pain putting on or getting use to wearing but after seeing a friend who has used power tools for years slip and cut into his forearm that has required ...
