Things that are genuinely good to know !

Worth some coin, even in poor state. Get it flogged.

 

How about Mr. Big Br'O ?

 

A good one will sell for £10k plus, seen them up to £28k, but that was silly money. Even rusty MOT fails will sell for £2k +.

The're all limited, only made 20,000 for Japan release only. Very popuar here, because the're RH drive. Only limited edition was a cupholder, which my mum's has one !!!

 

Back to the point of this thread. Something genuinely good to know !

Kay's Fasteners - LINK

Been buying a load of stainless fastners for the reassembly of my daughters MG ZR, once it has been painted. Only way to go is stainless, as I hate rusty screws and bolts. When I restored my Series 3 Land Rover, every bolt (non-critical) was stainless, made any subsequent work on it, a doddle.

Anyways - back to my point - been trawling Ebay for best prices and this seller keeps popping up as the cheapest and quick delivery. So if your looking, here you go. Ignore the prices on the front page of the shop, when you look at the item, prices are then per 10, 30, 50, etc.

Went onto their website, cheaper per item, but postage costs are £3.95 minimum, so only good if you are buying a lot.

 

As some of you may know, I am currently lightly restoring and repainting my daughter's first car, an MG ZR.

Just been given a great tip that genuinely does work.

For all of those black plastic trim panels on your car that have turned grey, heat them gently with a hot air gun and bring the oils back to the surface. Just given it a go on the side skirt end plates for the MG, worked a treat. Be careful not to overheat or the surface can start to 'break down', and the panel may also start to deform as it softens, but easy enough to hold it in shape till it cools again.

 

The typical lead pencil can draw a line that is thirty five miles long

 

And crayons taste better anyway.....especially the blue ones

First DD states something, we all already know.
Then he acknowledges that he knew he did and that he was in the wrong thread...

So why not delete the post and leave us 5 year olds alone in our nice little sandbox

 

There is not only the Schnitzelwiesel that DD introduced to the carnivorous world at the GMU but also
the 'Schnitzeljagd'! (Just look it up, if you don't believe me!)
It is a very popular German hunting event, where specially trained Dachshounds are hunting down Schnitzelwiesels being chased by a pack of beer-drinking, stern faced humorless locals whom everyone recognizes by their frequent yodeling!
It is great fun as long as you don't laugh...

 

To make a zip run smoothly use a lead pencil on it or bees wax/candle wax will do the job too

 

That's right!
And I apply the leather-grease that I use to treat my biking gear.

 

Man, I am lucky! I never talk about catfood!
