Wasn't that the one with the head gasket problems?

Only ones that have had poor maintenance the HGF is usually caused not by the HG but something else, faulty radiator, water pump, leaking pipe etc.

Check out this fellows' YouTube channel.

Which fellow?

I would hardly say that the engine in mine is a boat anchor...

If it's an A series, with an under slung gearbox then that's the best use for it.

I'm celebrating Friday by having some vappy milk in my porage 🎉

Morning.
I'm feeling a bit carp today ! Wasn't too special last night, felt cold and shivery.
Something scared Schrodie last night. He came rushing into the living room looking round to make sure that whatever it was hadn't followed him ! He was so worried that it would get him that he sat up looking at the door with a very sad expression on his face .
He's alright this morning as he attacked me as I told him off for being on the work surface !

I had 2 Minis in the past. A 1965 850 and a 1970 1000. Both were great little cars. The main problem that I had was forgetting about checking the battery electrolyte levels as they were tucked away in the boot .
I also had an Austin Metro HLS with a 1300 A+series engine which kept using up alternators. Looking back I would prefer a mini .

I had three Metros - two Austin, one Rover. Great little cars. Can't compare them to a proper Mini though as I never had one. A friend had one, she drove it into a wall at about 5mph as she was entering a car park as she saw a chap she fancied walking along the footpath. There wasn't even a scratch on the bumper.

Sorry, link didn't post before.

-22C here. I think the snow made it colder than it would have been, were there not snow. Pretty mild winter, come to think of it. We usually have 2-4 weeks of very cold. But this year, we've had sporadic cold spells and otherwise around 0C highs, which is warm for this place at this time.

Damn, how do I get those extra 2 years so I can go for the age group world records?

Right, that's the conifer, ash tree and one of the bullaces cleared up this morning, along with various other bits of collateral damage and deadfall. All the small bits have been either dumped in the wood or shoved under the hedge, and anything bigger than 2 ins in diameter has been turned into logs.

Just need to liberate the wheelbarrow to deposit the ready to burn stuff in the garage and haul the green wood to the wood pile where it can season. Then I need to split a case of logs and stock up the wood bin in the house.

Do you cover your wood pile?

Not sure what they get up to in the charity shop.

Looks like it didn't go so well.
