Ill take that little rig for a ride. Obviously wouldnt take it on the freeway or any busy roads but a nice cruise around the on back roads would be just fine. Just pay attention, keep your eyes on the road ahead and drive reasonably youd be fine

My 1923 Matchless car has the first ever brakes patented by Captain Girling, one brake shoe like a Cumberland sausage on each wheel, cable operated, it has four wheel brakes but they don't all operate at quite the same time!!!

I had a puma 1.7 - think it had a Nikasil liner (Zetec) - great car - no issues what so ever. Cost £2k in 2004, soild it for £1.5k in 2008

Safety of John's car on the roads these days is like dring a stock restored Model T. Those old brakes are about as effective as dropping a leg out and dragging your foot. Problem is you give yourself space to stop coming up to a traffic light, and about 4 snapperheads in ricers nip in front and hammer the brakes.

Lee i John's going, written into the end contract is his two videos! One re how the business started for him etc, incl. how you were when you came in! 😜The 2nd is a video in 2 parts. Show us the Austin (all details etc etc), and take us for a drive, and lastly show us how you do crankshafts!! Get it signed off!? 🤣🤣 Those cable, brakes....think of them like bicycle ones!.. Gradually apply and they warm and grip. Too much and they fade..

All that money spent but what will happen when we get them C15 City’s push in by Labour 😢 Some interesting stuff you’ve got on the go. John’s old car looks great fun. I took my friends Riley Monaco to Silverstone long time ago he came second in one of the races that was fun to drive back then, and yes the breaks were not great plus you had to double declutch the youngsters wouldn’t know about that, but all this modern stuff that’s real driving more excitement😊

Here's a suggestIon that won't really make money, but will make the videos look nicer... Buy some custom made and printed engine cover bags for when you have engines up on the stands after cleaning. The plastic bag is of course a goid idea, but a nice canvas cover with your logo printed or embroidered would be pretty and functional to keep things clean when not being worked on. Not sure of the expense, so you'd need to balance function against cost.

@eddiestevenson-kaatsch6306Ай бұрын
Leave the rat alone mate. He's got a life to live, just like you. Encourage him to move house or just leave him be. Rats are more scared of us than we are of them. Like every cornered creature, leave him an 'out' he can see. Close the workshop up, then both go in from one side only, then start stacking the pallets on their sides, not flat. He'll get the picture pretty quickly and make a run for it. You just need to make those pallets unratfriendly. On their ends, the rain can get right in and there's no shelter value. Then make a habit of moving the wheelie bin around the yard a bit. Anything to make home outside your works a miserable choice for Mr. Rattie. Just as 'weeds' are plants in the wrong place, 'vermin' are animals in the wrong place. The difference is that animals can move on, plants (unless they're Triffids) cannot. 🙂
