The steel frame eventually got destroyed anyway on a pa...

Thank you Peter for the feedback and thank you Squire too. I currently have two cars at Windrush and the problem is that unless the cost at somewhere like Historit is substantially cheaper the cost gets quite eye watering in the long term. The service and standards applied to car storage at Windrush...

:shock: Can you get the car in there? Ha yes it does fit, honest. Obviously minus the chest freezer currently in there. /\ I know we all want a man-cave, but that's ridiculous. C> I'd prefer not to have a rock face as there is 20 foot of it above the garage and it's not the most solid I have ever s...

Interested in this thread as I need something in which to keep my car. I have always previously dehumidified my garages with great results but this is not an option where I am now. I too am concerned about 'bubble' storage without a dehumidifier as Cornish winters are very damp. Are people choosing ...

Unfortunately I am away on my travels at the moment so do not have access to the wiring diagram and pictures I h...

If alignment checks out OK then it is likely caused by wear in the rubber parts of the front suspension. All looks fine when checked stationary but goes out of alignment as speed increases.

Not quite but last year when I sold my house and moved I disposed of my MK1 Austin Cooper which I bought when 19 and therefore owned for 30 years. For the last 15 of those years it had just sat in the corner of the garage forlorn and neglected so I gave it to my neighbor who races an Austin A30 and ...

You have not thought this through have you Darren :- )

You should go and research fans, pully ratios, air flow rates, oil cooling vs air cooling, etc. Set aside a day to do it.

Have you not instigated a secret bank account yet? Many do !!

Thanks for posting and good to know as I am in Truro so relevant when it comes to any future work.

Porsche auction prices seem to be very inconsistent at the moment. I see a fifty thousand mile 993 Targa sold for 49K at the auction. No that is not a misprint. And with the wrong wheels fitted. Blimey.
