Re: 1966 Plymouth Fury 3

I am unbelievably jealous of you, both cars ( I still have dibs on the other one, right?) and the fact you can still do this sort of stuff. My fucking ill health means that while I 'could' do it, it would take me a day to get all the stuff out and then I'd be fucked for three days! Keep it up mate ...

Re: Fire!!!

When lithium ion batteries combust a by product is oxygen so very hard to extinguish. Apparently the only way is to bring the temperature of the whole thing down to a point where it no longer burns…..hence dropping it in lots of water. Not sure about automotive but one solution in the fork truck wo...

Re: Lexus RX300 phase 2 running report

Always liked the look of these. They are nice, this one is much nicer than the last one, I didn't realise just how baggy the other one felt, and pulls the caravan better.

Lexus RX300 phase 2 running report

Thought I might as well throw a thread up about my other halfs car. This is the second one of these we have had, the first was on LPG and ran upto 230k before the gearbox shit itself without warning and the fact it had been a Scottish car with the resultant corrosion issues meant it wasn't worth rep...
