I never knew that the SU in SU Carbs stood for Skinner Union. Thanks for that Edd China.

Got a really loud grinding sound at low revs.... thinking alternator bearing or waterpump...

Get a long screwdriver and place the end on the alternator and your ear the other side, you'll hear it louder if it is the spot thats worn.

Check the 'Tell Tale Hole' on the underside of the water pump, if coolant is dribbling out your bearings are failing and the coolant is washing out the lubricated and sealed bearings.

Recently a couple of nice project minis have come up for sale... I wish I had a garage where I could store and build a project mini :\

I actually had a look last week. There are a few close by, but the rent is the same as an entire apartment!?

Are they in high demand there then? Here you can rent a garage for about £35 a month

Wow, even converting that to Rand it is still cheap. The ones I've seen here are about R2000 (~£110) for a 3m x 3m garage. It could be that there aren't that many self storage type places close by, so limited supply drives up the prices.

New game mini
When your OH does some 'craft' in the garage and gets yellow spray pain all over your mini...happy days :(

Where's the spray paint from? If it's from Halfords, it will actually rub off with panel wipe.

Luckily it turns out it's plastikote so it's not been too bad to remove so far, which is good because it was all over the bonnet, windscreen and roof :o

Spent last night flying a radio controlled plane in the pitch black, only being illuminated by the LEDs stuck to it. This was the Newport & DMFC's way of celebrating bonfire night.

Craziest thing was, was that it was not my plane I was flying.
