be carefull bying one of these, as you are all probaly aware, the pickup oil strainers on these cars get cloged up with sludge, from the sump. saabs bigest problem on the 95 low presure turbo model, like the rocker cover gaskets on the omega.. get problems with this and it usually kills the turbo first. :(

Technically speaking, it was 8 speakers (the Paradigm's are subs), although the other 6 weren't anywhere near close enough to generating the frequencies required to f**k the living daylights out of whatever is in close proximity to them  ;D  ;D

Same here! I feel like one of the chicken legs we bbq`d yesterday. Spent all afternoon pushing the little fella in his trike - wore him and me out and i`m a tad on the pink side :'( Didn`t stop our lass from dropping very heavy hints to cut the hedges this affa mind!! :o :o

invented a new cocktail - vodka, sparkling water, tonic water and robinsons orange barley - loads of ice - amazing what you'll come up with when theres no coke in the house  :y

oh - and caught up on some reading in the sun before the vodkas took over  ::)

Recovering from brothers stag do ::) ::)

I got up this morning and went and cut my Nanna's lawns which had grown crazy :o

I came back had my dinner then have spent the rest of the day cleaning my "Fizzer" chain, re-oiling it, cleaning it ready for a day out on it tomorrow with Mrs. Loo-knee :y

Been quite a nice day. Went to watch the grass track racing - boy, was it dusty! :o While there, saw some "diesel p0rn" going past on the Watercress line, for those who like such things. ("Diesel Gala" this weekend).

Popped in to see the in-laws then back to chuck a lamb joint in the kettle barbecue. Quick whip round with the lawn mower while it was cooking then sat eating it out in the garden in shorts and a tea shirt. Only just come in.

Oh, gave the LPG system a tweak and fitted some exhaust trims to my Eternal system at last.

Friday night worked on a friends Mondeo nearly for 4 hrs until 10 PM :-? and I hope the neighbours not disturbed  by the sound of polish machine  ;D (as they usually never let me sleep day and night)

But was a shiny car in the end .. :y

going to change matrix today :(

Had a day sorting things out having returned from a weeks holiday (mow lawn, shopping etc).

Managed also to get a few hours over at the heritage centre working on 47292. Completed some more of the vaccum braking setup which leaves only wiring to sort out.

Picture of a few of the current residents:

Channeling out walls, laying tubing for electrics.

Trying to keep a pair of swallows out. Plenty of places for them to build but Oh no it has got to be the end room upstairs. I feel a bit bad about it but they are just going to have to live with it.

Not to bad.

We were in the radiator cabin so had a shed load of coolant above our heads and with the engine room doors and cab doors open the breeze was ok.

The team operating the steam loco were suffering badly though!
