Hi Colin, Well, under normal circumstances I would simply abandon any scheduled activities and head to Shuttleworth with you --inviting myself in obviously questionable taste. But this year that's not going to happen: it's the day after our wedding. I'll still be incredibly hung over... And practici...

Hello again, Colin, Re-reading your most recent post, I believe the most telling word in it may be "composite" cork, because natural and synthetic cork consist of pretty different ingredients. Given all that's in the petrol of today, I could easily understand a composite cork gasket being ...

Hi Colin, Here is a link to an article about petrol chemistry in and before 2005. It's very informative reading. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/222381005_Ethanol_in_gasoline_Environmental_impacts_and_sustainability_review_article This article also touches on the volatility of cork gasket i...

Hi Mike C, Hi Colin, Wouldn't you think I could pay Attention?! Thanks Colin, for setting me straight and to MikeC for not being put off. Sorry Mike C about not acknowledging you as the source of the very nice photos from Bicester. Made me happy to see them. As much as I love Mothy's closing quote, ...

Hi Colin, The sights were so familiar and distinctive, I felt I was with you. Thanks so much for going and sharing the photos: I still want to exhort people to attend one of these occasions, even with the encouragement of your sharing. Seeing the Type 57 Bugatti was also a treat. While you were in B...

Colin, Gardening is a known carcinogen. Please inform your devoted wife so she will allow you back into the garage when you back is healed to keep company with harmless materials like Mineral Spirits, lacquer thinner and crankcase oil. You'll be right as rain in no time. And likely on a contact high...

PS: Was the rear window in your car when you received it? If so, what kind of glaze surrounded the rear window? I wonder because I can't see any remnants of what we would call a seal on BMX 7. There is a thick, inflexible adhesive residue that was very unevenly applied around the rear window. Withou...

Hi Colin, If you find Bicester to be enjoyable, informative or even just narcotic --as I did-- would you post some photos and a description of your experience there? There aren't a great deal of things that I would be happy to support, but in my opinion this one is well worth sharing around. I will ...

Hi Colin, You'd best plan to make a day of it; there is so much there to see. The weekend that I attended I saw vehicles I'd never known of: an open wheel Aston Martin Formula Car (!), a brilliant art deco wonder from Triumph, American muscle, at least 45 E Types in various states of personalisation...

If Rob doesn't want the tractor, I will need a vehicle to plow snow at the new manse.

What better way to go than with a Singer tractor special?

Hello All, Saw an entry on Colin B's enterprising thread about his Singer 10 that touched on a topic important to many of us. As our cars age, their radiators --not stout stuff when first created-- succumb to electrolysis. They are brass and aluminium vessels held together with silver solder, a bad ...

By the way, All, I think I have it from the 'horses mouth'. The chap who restores radiators at Bicester, the repurposed WWII landing field in Oxfordshire, UK that houses numerous automotive specialists, says the matrix pattern used by Singer is no longer available and in fact has not been produced f...

Hi Colin, I will post some photos of the Le Mans Coupe to you tonight. The work on the radiator looks wonderful, at least at the distance of the photograph. If you are pleased, then it's likely done to a very high standard. I will also start a thread about the process of working on the Le Mans Coupe...

Hi Colin, I can finally report that your example has taken effect: I got my sorry backside up to the garage with the appropriate supplies, and began work on the Le Mans Sports coupe. Have to credit Phillip Avis' visit as well, as he came all the way from Hudson, Quebec to provide information, experi...

Congratulations, Arne!

What a fabulous day this must have been for you.

You and your car both look wonderful.

May you have many tremendous days out together in the following years.

Well Done!

David
