The G Man

What I’m saying is that your own body’s immunity will prevent you catching C19 again, it won’t stop you catching a different strain

.......and still people voted for these bastarts

Also, we are about to reap 10 years of ‘austerity’ with a massive impact on our NHS

Not sure that it’s delay due to ‘high flu’ season. My understanding is that it’s the next phase to stave off a massive impact on emergency services and resources. Not a ‘deliberate’ action to do anything other than follow the infection/ contamination model. Contain, delay, mitigate

What a weapon

*antidote was the wrong word, vaccination was what I should have said

You need to look at how a virus works. You will not get Covid 19 again, you might get covid 20, or in other words a different virus. Same idea that you can’t catch aids twice. The experts in charge, pick a virus when it comes to winter flu, that they think will be the most common, then use the antidote that works with that particular virus, we both had flu jabs last year, we both got the flu, just a different strain. Corona virus covid 19, is a particularly virulent virus and, new. It’s a mutant of something that already exists, but completely different. Hope that makes sense?

My Mrs, now a retired biomedical scientist, was musing the exact same thing last week Hugh.

Next on the list is a mini humidor

We had an upright fridge freezer in the garage for a couple of years, most aren’t suitable for ‘outside’ use, as low temps during winter just kills them. The little beer cooler will only have drinks in it and there’ll be no temptation to store food in it. I can also switch it off and just leave the drinks in it. I could do this with a normal fridge I suppose, but aesthetically, the Husky will look better

....and anyway, those chillers are bigger than ma garage

I’ll be filling it with these Alex, no that pishy watered doon, tart beer, I dare ye tae drink 6 of these O

Right, overwhelmed with your comments peeps I've decided to go with this recommendation: https://www.husky-lifestyle.co.uk/husky-black-drinks-cooler-hus-hy192/ Also started the ’cigarageloung’ first thing on the wall....... ’

Yeah, 13 year old suspension parts on a relatively ‘enthusiastically ‘ used, car, will be needing replaced. Got some friends running this brand, not on a 350, and they have a good rep in the this area. https://www.pedders.co.uk/extreme-xa-coilover-kit_p4507716.htm Not the cheapest, but give them a call. Once my FRPP kit starts giving up, I’ll be looking at Pedders as a replacement. Asking the obvious here probably but did they check the wheel bearings? I’m sure Zman Alex or other traders will be along soon....

Ooft! Super

Background Myself and a close group of fellow McMustangers (4 off us ) enjoy all sort of car related antics, modding, runs out, shows, events etc and one of the winter staples is meeting up in The Dakota Glasgow’s cigar lounge. None of us smoke as such, but we enjoy a premium cigar or two now and again, mostly brought back from holidays. We just shoot the sh1t, talk nonsense mostly and generally have a good crack. Aim After a recent bout of modifications, together with years of car related stuff and the usual detritus that pollutes my small, concrete sectional garage, I’ve sussed that I could actually make a cool wee cigar lounge in my garage. Need to make room, which is taken care of by using my daughters garage next door Execution Once the required space has been achieved and a workable floor plan sorted, I’ll then work on adorning the walls with car stuff, bonnet, engine covers etc. (stock exhaust from my Mustang is already up there). I’ve got power and lighting so heating will be in the form of a fan heater or two. I’ve no plans to fully insulate the garage as it will only be for occasional use and I’d be as well to flatten and build new if I was going to insulate. Recommendations I know some of you have built some super man cave garages, that’s not my aim really, all I want is recommendations of outdoor decent but either counter top or under counter cooler/fridge. Must be able to work in outside temps. Must have capacity for 500ml size bottles with adjustable shelving (my favourite beer only comes in 500ml sizes). Budget No more than say, £150. Summary Outdoor fridge/cooler, preferably glass fronted, reasonable capacity, under or counter top, £150 max budget.

Morons mixing up Nora for Corona. Just grab a pile of Metro’s, newspaper was good enough back in the day.....

Used as an air brake as it’s so fast Even when charged it doesn’t need any extra cold air, had this fitted before paint as well in prep for a Whipple

Cheers Hugh

I’m in two minds to be honest, I have a replacement Super Snake from Big Worm Graphics to re do the hood/scoop, however I’m liking the ‘naked’ look on the front end too. I’m stuck between taking the rest off or getting it back to as was. Paint-shop guy said to give the new paint at least 3months to cure properly

I paid the extra and got a pre-painted one, I shouldn’t have bothered, it needed re-flattened down and painted because of silicon and ‘fish eyes’ in the finish. Would have looked proper pooply on the brand new paint job. The paint now looks better than factory and stunning. The level of prep and number of coats was astonishing. Not cheap, the whole job was 2k. if you look in the background there’s a classic Porsche, just finished paint and another two Porsche’s went out the door the day before. i think side scoops would set the whole look off and the number plate is staying off

Paintwork done, here’s a few shots of mine, bodyshop sending me more detailed pics of the breakdown. So, ‘new’ second hand bonnet, MMD-V Series hood scoop, full front end, wings all freshly painted, doors and flanks blended and whole care machine polished. Theres a, hopefully, minor issue with the front light connections (mostly indicator related) which is being looked at by an auto electrician tomorrow.
