  1. My Grandad was a Vimy Ridge. He was badly gased when his company/regiment were camped down at the side of a road whilst moving between areas one night. He woke up in a military hospital. He was the only one who lived. He slept with his nose into his trench coat which filtered out some of the gas. This is what the doctors said had saved him. He was in the Canadian Regiment. I Never met him. He died from lung cancer during WW2 due to the mustard gas poisoning. The thing that sticks in my mind was when my father told me that my Grandad had his ration book taken off him when he was dying on cancer during WW2. No food for the terminally ill. Can you imagine this happening today? I have a picture frame he made in the trenches at Vimy Ridge from the back of a shell and .303 bullets. One of my prized possessions.

  4. Check weekly together with the oil, water etc. Why the long delay between checks?
  5. on piston heads, debating auto trader but they want 3 times as much as PH for half the advertising time. And will likely put a classified up on eBay at the weekend All the best with the sale. My mate has non supercharged one. Lovely car

  9. Hi There, don't forget that in The USA oil specs are different to that in the UK. Use a good quality oil (synthetic not mineral which is widely used in the USA). Should last 9k miles then between oil and filter changes. If you go to Jiffylube change your oil every 3k miles
  10. Saw one recently at Castle Combe. Have to say it looked very nice, especially with the rear spoiler.
