  1. When I worked for Wheelhouse he got a xj6 from the auctions we thought it had head gasket gone but it turned out it had burnt the cylinder head out between the combustion chambers I took it to ray pettit and he ally welded it we had the head faced and it went off no further problems I think he made motorcycle alloy tanks as well meeowed
  2. Still no sign of Paddy Tipping am getting worried now meeowed
  3. I recall me and my mate doing several mods to it We fitted four headlights antiroll bars front and back electric radiator fan spotlight on the drivers door and a tigers head that lit up inside when you opened the side door 8track stereo of course six chrome pipes out the side just for show and michelin x tyres worked well but a pain to park up if you got boxed in forget it your walking Our party trick was to get alongside flat hat fred and his bird in his MG midget then slap it into top and wave bye bye meeowed
  4. I had a thames camper in the sixties me and my mate put a four speed gearbox in had the same problem we put a separate lever in between the drivers legs You had to make sure you were in neutral before you pulled it or you could get two gears together it worked fine otherwise and fitted another cylinder head I think from a Zephyr four it was higher compression 13inch wheels and brake servo when we found out we could not stop the thing on smaller wheels Went round switzerland several time with it great days meeowed
  5. When you looked at the effort for the likes of gay pride What a shocking indictment of this council no banners people in the crowd didnt know what it was for All those lives lost At least the lord mayor got to wear his best hat meeowed
  6. I went down the square on sunday for the RAF flypast what a shambles I am not moaning about the flypast being called off but the fact that no one had a clue There was no speaker system to inform the public of the cancellation I asked at the RAF stand they were clueless the police likewise A woman next to me in the crowd knew an hour before that it wasnt coming but it seemed beyond the councils ability to inform the crowd All this for the 100th anniversary The council should be ashamed of such a poor effort meeowed
  7. I quite agree the same with the black boy hotel The 1960s councils where nothing but vandals to put 1960s shoe boxes up around the square shows they knew nothing about architecture whatsoever Watson Fothergill was one of the great architects of his generation and much more should be done to acknowledge his work meeowed

  18. I am sure we have all heard enough on this subject I never wished to hijack this thread I came on because my grandfather was killed in 1918 He is not on any war memorial here but thanks to help I received from this site hopefully he will be on the new one when it is finished I am passionate about free speech so i will leave dj360 to live in the liberal left wonderland he seems to inhabit My final word talk to anyone about immigration and they talk in hushed voices knowing the hounds of hell will descend upon them screaming racist thats how political correctness works I thank you for your in
  19. The BNP over 15 years ago tried to get the chief constable off his backside but due to political correctness and a fear of being tarred racist he was also reluctant to incite the muslim community he did nothing The CPS spent thousands of tax payers money trying to convict Nick Griffin BNP election campaigners were arrested for distributing racist literature only to be released without charge after the election was over You only have to look at the influence of the masonic society in the police force you couldnt be a member of the BNP and be a police officer but you could be a member of the ma
  20.

  21. When I said there were no statues to wilberforce I meant to convey his lack of recognition by the african nations After all you would think he would be revered for his work on the abolition of slavery but no they prefer a man who was prepared to kill and maim people for his political ambitions My grandfather gave his life in 1918 fighting for freedom that includes freedom of speech I dont mind anyone disagreeing with me thats their right to express an opinion Political correctness tries to deny that right Tommy robinson shows how far a so called democratic government is prepared to go to st
  22. The first slave traders were arabs anyone asking them for an apology Thats about as likely as an animal rights demo outside a hal hal butchers I dont recall africans starving during the empire There wasnt a mass exodus back to Africa when slavery ended in the USA and it was an englishman who stopped it No statues to him of course Thats not PC
