Good evening from the Antipodes; Came a cross your post just now, and am interested. Is it still possible to get a copy of the original article, please ? Email address: [email protected] Respectfully Ian Munro Norlane, Victoria Australia.

What have you made the spokes of ? Looks like brass.

a41capt & LorenOtto; Apology, for the delay, I don’t trawl the form every day, then see something, I’ll reply to, but get distracted. Yes, in Victoria, and some other States, Reel Running is a summer competition. Although, there is a slow move to include motor events, in tandem. The...

Gentlemen; As a Retired Career Firefighter, from the Antipodes (a.k.a. Australia,) We tend to do things a bit differently, down here. However, in my retirement, as an Archivist / Researcher, for the Fire Services Museum of Victoria, I can offer the following: 1./ The hose was carried...

Thank you Bob. When I can visit the UK (which isn’t likely to be soon as this is day one, of a seven day lockdown, in Victoria,) each of these historic houses I visit, I find things like this. The usual response is “no idea, it’s always been there”. And because it’s not “in the house”...

Any one want to play show me yours, and I’ll show you mine ?

Most interesting Bob, due you have any details of date, and location please. The style indicates a fairly early model.

Thank you Norman; My get out computer trouble, is No. 1 son, who is Support Team Manager / Team Leader, with IBM. If he can’t fix it, it’s xxx??d. I am aware of both films you mention, and have copies of them. I was thinking that you had uncovered others, as I believe that they exist...

G'day Andrew; Been sorta busy since I saw your first log in, so catching up now. I'm down in "Cat Country" - Norlane / Geelong. in both. Like you, been out of it for many years, and just getting back in, having retired. I trained in Imperial, then went Metric, and now often find myself...

Apology Ved; I wasn't having a go at you, but just highlighting issues, as I've had to clean up the mess a bloke made of himself, and his garage, doing something similar to this, as well as a few Volkswagens, over 40 or so years. (Good trick to play on the "Probie," if the car is...

Probably a bit late to comment, but I've only recently discovered this site, and even more recently this thread. As a retired Firefighter / Officer, I can confirm the risk with Volkswagen parts. If you do get to the point where the magnesium ignites, DO NOT USE WATER, as that creates an...

Good afternoon from the antipodes; (a.ka. Australia,) I am interested in the books, and will download them shortly. However, a couple of links that may assist others that I have are...
