That's something I've been looking out for, another Bomber, a 26" is perfect size for me, 24" ones are rarer but the prices are sky rocketing, I never paid for than 40 quid for one. Anyway I found this with you saying about a 24" Mustang

I've got it sat in my mums garage, but I didnt want to do it before the wedding and a problem occur, and it not make it, after this it's pretty much game on, well either before the child is born in august/September or after but I doubt I'll have the time then

Good luck at the weekend fella I might raise a beer to you at the RR weekender Why oh why did you book your wedding for the RR weekend??!!!! Would you believe I've had minimal input, just paid for it I didnt even realise but to be fair money's tight now so even if it wasnt I doubt I'd have been able to come, it's very much on the cards next year though

I run an 07 mk3 Mondeo ST Tdci as a daily, and it's the newest car I've had, also the one that's given me most grief and been the most expensive to fix. I'd run my astra, but early work starts means it's too loud, and I'm loathe to fit proper silencers

I've got a traction engine (like those up there^) that I found on a rubbish tip as a young lad in the early 80's. It was in a bad state so I brought it home and resto-modded it. Still got it somewhere. It runs nice. It needs a new drive band though. I also have an SE3 base mounted static twin cylinder steam engine, which I rescued from somewhere a few years ago. It's tatty but runs, and it would clean up well. Somewhere tucked away I have the workshop that you can run off the SE3 with a steam hammer and various other tools. I don't know what to do with any of them. I'd like to pass them on to somebody who might want them because I don't any more but I don't want to scrap them. So if anyone is interested... If you find the traction engine Mr. Mass I'd be interested, if only to stop the kids playing with my one which is supposed to be theirs

Well it came, oiled and steamed up within the hour, steamed it up a few times since and learning how many tablets to a boiler of water, and how to get the most out of it. Even my 2 girls love it. And the smell is awesome

A fresh unopened box greeted me in Home Bargains this morning so I went in for the kill

A friend of a friend has recently rebuilt a white one with a very in your face blue interior. Quirky little motors, nice find you have there.

Yeah it is, it's on my delivery patch, nice guy, but immediately goes cold if you mention anything about the cars or the pumps.

This looks familiar, was it Llanrhug near Llanberis?

Think standard fit in my mk3 was a Grundig?

Wanted one for ages and a visit to the Extravaganza in Llandudno cemented me buying one, ready to run, not received it yet though. It's a Te1a, on solid fuel tablets, I know I need to oil everything that moves before and after running, any tips from anyone that has one? Cant wait for it to arrive to be honest

This one? Was in Colwyn Bay a few weeks back, believe it's at the transport festival in Llandudno atm.

I arrived home in one of these in 1991 (I have got pictures but they're at my mums) And my daughter was taken home in this in 2012, hopefully my son will be this year as well
