:thumbup::thumbup: Garage parking

Does this mean the ill-informed decision makers are finally realising that the "phase out" targets of ICE's, gas boilers etc are totally unrealistic and unobtainable? Eco rethink.

Looks like petrol values are on the up!! Petrol 80 series

Some useful info here for anyone not already aware of it....... 112 EMERGENCY CALLS

While surfing Utube for nothing in particular I came across this old "music"video :lol:, shot back in the pre chicane days of the straight:icon-biggrin: The video (and some audio) quality is rubbish but, for some reason, it gives me a nice warm feeling inside. Long live the ICE!:thumbup...

I'm looking at replacing my ageing Clark 100A MIG welder with something more powerful and versatile. Has anyone heard of or had any experience with these? R Tech Welders

Robbie Coltrane who left us yesterday. A man of many parts in both comedy and serious roles. I remember and enjoyed watching this series he did some years back. Here's the episode extolling the virtues of diesel engines with suitable homage paid to Gardner diesels. Robbie Coltrane PT&A

Well, I don't know how I missed this, the Honda Fireblade is 30 years old this year! Fireblade 30th Jeez, it seems like yesterday. I stepped off a GSXR1100 onto one of these and what a revelation! Giving away 230cc to the big Suzuki it was down on outright power and grunt but some 35kg lighter...

Ernest Shackleton's ship Endurance has finally been found and looks in incredible condition, probably due to the depth and teperature of the water..... Endurance

An early 80 with low miles and the "old" petrol engine but still strong money. Petrol 80

Not sure you could call a LC, certainly the older variants, "luxury" but this could get nasty... COP26: Activists deflate tyres on 'luxury' cars in Glasgow - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

"Fuel" Tanker? :laughing-rolling:

Does anyone have a part No. and a source for an OEM front brake calliper refurb kit for a late 24v 80 series? There are numerous kits on Ebay but no genuine Toyota ones I can see.

Looks to be in decent condition if you have £30k to spend on one...... FJ40. 1979

....arrived today from a seller on the bay. These are not OEM but Febest branded. I used some of their bushes for the rear control arms, primarily because originals were hard to get, and they looked decent quality. They are a German Co. offering "genuine top German quality" and guess what...

.....well, more interesting than most anyway. Toyender V8

Anyone fitted the braided hoses from Roughtrax and if so, did they fit without any issues, ie wrong thread size/type etc? Braided Hoses

Don't fancy having the LC bombarded with these! We had the conservatory roof damaged by stones much smaller than this last year. As the LC lives on the drive I've got a couple of bits of old carpet ready in the garage to throw over it if storms are forcast. Hailstone damage.

This makes far more sense than the rush to battery power. JCB also have working Hydrogen combustion engines in some of their excavators. No idea if retro fitting a Hydrogen "conversion kit" to existing ICE's will ever be possible but we can hope! Hydrogen Toyota

Filled the bike up this evening ready for an early start tomorrow and noticed E10 fuel (10% bio ethanol) is now at the pumps. There's a sign on each pump saying "suitable for most vehicles. Check with the manufacturer". I wonder if many will even notice or even care? The bikes will (should) be...

Maybe not the most succesful player ever but certainly one you remember. Andy Fordham..

Not a football fan by any stretch of the imagination but looks like part of football never left. Pathetic. Absolute scum every single one of them. We need a no holds barred riot squad to handle situations like this. Football trash

WTF is going on when cyber criminals can halt the fuel supply to almost half of the US. What the hell next? If this isn't proof that this increasing reliance on IT has gone too far I don't know what is. Hyperlink............Fuel supplies cut

With the "stay at home" restriction now lifted I thought I'd do some local lanes after tea and came across this at the top of Pindale and also on Dirtlow Rake. No other signs regarding Byway status so I think this is just to put the frighteners on.

Never seen this conversion before. Should be good off road. 70-Unimog

What sad news indeed, the master motorsport commentator IMO despite some of his infamous quotes. A very knowledgable guy who I believe did some motorcycle racing in his younger days, as did his Dad Graham Walker before him. RIP Murray Walker

I'm not that clued up on the 60 series but I've always liked the look of them and this looks and sounds like a good one but £25k for a "rare" LHD and what exactly is an International MOT? 60 series

Another visitor to the bird feeders today. We have at least 3, now -1. Tried conventional rat traps but they seem to "know" what they are and steer clear, wierd. A nicely placed .22 just behind the right ear will do. :violence-rapidfire:

NW200 IOM TT Poxy virus. :angry-screaming:

Chip-shortage 'crisis' halts car-company output - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] :thumbdown:

A great player from an era when I was actually interested in football unlike today. A different game back then IMO when team loyalty and "playing for the shirt" was everything. Today it's all about ££££. Players were payed a pittance back then compared to the ridiculous sums banded about today...

A very low milage 80........:wtf: TOYOTA LAND CRUISER 80 Series 4.2 TDi POP TOP EXPEDITION | eBay - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

Any recommendations for a good reasonably priced reactive welding helmet. Lots for sale on Ebay from around £15 but how good are they?

Looks like one they may have taken in part-ex. Anyone recognise it. 80 Series

Went to have a look at this today FJ Cruiser, main reason being I've never actually seen one in the metal and it was an excuse for a run out on the bike. It was sat in the corner of the yard and it looks like it's not moved for a while as there are quite a few cobwebs on it. The underside has...

Anyone used these callipers and if so what's the quality like? I used Febest bushes on the rear upper control arms and they looked and felt identical to the OEM bushes I used on the lower ARMS. Roughtrax also stocks Toyota callipers at twice the price........ Febest Rear Brake Caliper L/H -...

Not the most obvious choice for a conversion. An Uncle of mine, long since departed, had a P5B, lovely motor. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Apollo-1969-Rover-P5B-Coupe-3-5-V8-Auto-Period-Camper-Conversion-Unique-Classic/164292038767?hash=item264091906f:g:~DIAAOSwrHNeroqG

The black plastic trims that clip onto the top of the doors (driver and rear passenger door) and provide a door/glass weather seal. OEM part numbers are 75710-60020/75730-60020 for a 1997 HDJ-80R 24v but are unavailable via Amayama so probably long since out of production.

Small parking bays! Not only too narrow to begin with but a large concrete pillar where driver's door opens:angry-screaming:

How come all these ‘conversations’ with no content have suddenly appeared in my inbox? Anyone else got this?

Just found this 2 stroke laden gem while browsing the tube. Remember this like it was yesterday and what a rider Pat Hennen was. The following year he would suffer a horrendous 160mph crash at the Manx TT that would end his career.

Having rebuilt a few bike engines in the past including a Z1 with the legendary roller bearing crank I found this very interesting.........

Reminiscing through some old TV series on the tube today and came across this, a great series from the '80's as well as being a beautiful piece of music in it's own right..... Reilly Ace of Spies

WTF!!.......... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/25-x-rusty-old-vintage-screws-25mm-x-M5/264451480721?hash=item3d92895c91:g:t24AAOSwZbRdbXFX

The opener of the season at the Losail circuit has fallen victim to the Coronavirus with the premier class race being cancelled. The Moto 2 & 3 races will go ahead though. The way the virus is spreading it could be the first of many major sporting events to suffer. I’ve booked for the NW200 as...

Nice little project for an old FJ40 rebuild....maybe. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lamborghini-Murcielago-Roadster-2005-6-2L-Complete-Engine-Motor-J070/142087340114?hash=item211510c052:g:N2MAAOSwqu9U79Zu

I’ve just had an unfamiliar payment taken from my Paypal account by “Proctor Tech Ltd” which also mentions my forum name. Has anyone else had this and is it some payment to the forum?
