    Just been in the loft and found this.
  4. Have a nice ride out and collect it. Sounds like a fair deal, you better have biscuits. NO. Down to you to bring biccies. I’ll provide the coffee.
  5. Anyone want a Yankee Screwdriver. Can’t remember when I used it last. I would gladly put it on my garage wall Have a nice ride out and collect it.
  6. I started out using those, and Yankee screwdrivers before electricity was invented. Anyone want a Yankee Screwdriver. Can’t remember when I used it last.
  7. Many many years ago my radio control boat had a aero engine installed. One day it would not start. So took it out. Bolted it into my bench mounted vice. Fitted a 7 inch aircraft propeller onto it and proceeded to try to start it by flicking the prop. This went on for several minutes with just the occasional cough from the engine. So was well into the routine flick, pause, flick etc. Then the engine fired up and I was so into the grove, I stuck my finger into the prop arc to flick it again. It hurt. Prop cut across 3 fingers. I was on my own and as the bleeding was not stopping I wrapped a towel round my hand and drove to A&E. Nurse asked how I had done it. Not saying I said, up you will only laugh. We won’t laugh she said. We need to know she said in case of infections. So I told. And did they laugh, oh yes they did, laughed their heads off. No traditional stitches, not enough skin left on the back off the fingers so just Butterfly tapes to pull the edges together. It was fun removing them later.
  8. A common mistake. I know several who have done that.
  9. Happy birthday GOG.
  10. No water involved. Leamington then B4100. On to the Fosse. Stop at Chesterton for Xtreme’s photo shoot. On to Southam and Long Itchington . Back to the Fosse, Offchurch then Home. The Fosse is closed between Welsh Road and Southam Road.

  14. Hi and welcome. If the Ah is bigger it should not be an issue. Check connections and voltages.

    Hello to all

    Hi and welcome
  16. Hi [mention]Mattyfab[/mention] welcome to the forum. As Fastbob says you can tour on anything. Best thing is to make a shortlist and then go for a test ride to se if it suits.
  17. Weekly trip to supermarket, then drop off some shopping to a friend who is self isolating as he is 84, then home. May be a walk 3 times a week.
  18. Try some simple exercises to see what the camera does under different settings. If you have something like this in the garden Set the camera to ISO 200 and control dial to “P”. Focus on the main object. Always focus on the same point for each shot. Use the hand grip dial rotate till smallest aperture is shown. Eg f4. Note the shutter speed. Take picture. Rotate control dial to next aperture. Repeat till smallest aperture is reached. Note shutter speed. As aperture gets smaller shutter speed will reduce. It may get to a point where shutter is too slow to hand hold. Look at pictures and check the differences in the amount in focus. You can do the same exercise and change the ISO rating and see the difference. 200 to 400 normal range. 800 noise may start to show but you can shoot in lower light levels and Han hold. Take some picture at the highest ISO setting. You can do the same but change exposure setting. This will hopefully get you used to the camera controls and know what to expect when you change things. Then move onto the more manual settings. Have fun.
  19. Mine is just collecting dust! I haven't used it in over a year Used mine Sunday to make up some spacers.
  20. If it is on all the pictures then it is probably dust on the sensor. I think your camera has a sensor clean function try using that several times. If it is bugging you. You could try a gentle waft of air from a puffer. You need to check the manual though as the shutter needs to be open to do this. You can get cleaning swabs for the sensor but you have to be very very careful and if in doubt take it to a camera shop like LCE or similar.
  21. Here is my untidy heap.
  22. They are, my dad drove these many many years ago. DC824328-4B48-452B-85AE-962D1A71C017.jpeg did they have power steering back then ? Doubt it. Think the man with a red flag still had to walk in front.
