Top Class POTD-ing!


Excellent :) You know you only have to mention locomotives and railways and I'm in my element!

Remember you posted a web link about the former Norwich City station and a walk along the remains of the line that ran from it the other day?

That site contained a few photos that have a connection to the picture of a lump of hexagonal concrete at Highcliffe-on-Sea I posted a picture of in this thread earlier ;)

I was looking at a book in 'The Works' today that would suit you Jim Cars Trains and Planes, £25 cover price reduced to £12.

This one:

That one looks a cracker of a book and encompasses all of my transportation interests :D

I like 'planes even though I won't travel on them...

Best XM I ever had.... Ran on LPG too...
That is just excellent Jim, love it! Total randomness and we unearth a nice pair! Thats just what POTD is about for me.

Regards Neil

By coincidence that car turned up on eBay a week or so ago with a broken timing belt, but has been saved from the scrap man. http://www.club-xm.co.uk/forum/viewtopi ... 05#p106135

Good to see the old thing is still about Mike.... I can't recall if I changed the cambelt in my ownership. I don't think I did...

There is some debate as to whether or not the 2.0TCT is a non-interference engine so it may have survived the breakage...

Not a bad buy at £104...

Not had a POTD for a few days now so when I saw this I immediately thought of POTD...

I've often heard the term 'dirt bike' but never quite understood what it meant...

I think I do now ;)

This bike often parks next to mine at work. I wonder what route he takes to work and if he does a bit of ploughing on the way!!!

Will dig it out and have a look tonight.

I will Neil as it has grease nipples on its kingpins :)

The one in the picture looks like a Tecalamit?

Luckily I still have one stashed away somewhere...

Along with my strobe timing light and dwell meter - all stuff that'll now be very valuable!

Not used them for years but glad now I kept them...

POTD-photograph your grease gun day

Unread post by NewcastleFalcon »

Well it's been a while since we have had a theme to rival Soviet Military Toilets Day for obscurity so how about...
Go into your tool store and photograph your grease gun day!

Bet yours has a lever Jim, rather than the beautiful manual simplicity of that little one in the picture. Then again there may be one of those professional garage jobs the size of a fire extinguisher knocking around someone's garage :-D :!:

Take the camera and post it up Steve!

Find it, take its picture, and give it its 5 minutes of fame on POTD! :-D

and your guess which I presume came from stored knowledge is
Spoiler: show
Spot on again, the firm started out in 1922 and is still active in the garage tools field and is currently based in Plymouth

Here's my little lot and for good measure a photo of my alternative to copper grease for the brake pads.

POTD-Grease gun special!

Unread post by NewcastleFalcon »

From my old mini days, the one on the left of Gibbo's pic, was my weapon of choice.

Each radius arm had a nipple, both ball joints and probably several other places too I can't remember.
