It was good to see Chris giving the GT 16 a good workout

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_BSA_motorcycles A truly magnificent piece of British motorcycle engineering. As a kid I would often be taken to the local gravel pit with my dad & ride all over the huge mountains of excavated gravel . We used to ride. Grandfathers old BSA bantem , I'm not too sure which model it was but I do know it had a single rigid seat. It was great fun but sadly my dad sold the bike way back in the late 60,s . I wished we still had that bike now . I often take a look at some of the wonderful old brochures that were made for motorcycles back then .

We will be going on the weds & thursday

I like it Chris , I want one

Wonderful pieces of art , Great pictures.

Southall , hmm thats a scary place , I nearly ran out of fuel once and had to drive through Southall and thought to myself I really don't want to run completely out of fuel here . Fortunately I made it to slough ,which was almost as bad

Looks to have been a good show , great to see Chris driving the noddy & Gt14 Good pics nige

Amazing video capture Koen , I would love to know how you got such a good vantage point to view the show. Looks like a really good show with some really interesting machines. Thanx for sharing.

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PBVJxc3vVUM Take a moment to view some of the road crashes . How some people drive baffles me .

Have a great show chaps

I cant believe you were only half a mile away from me the other day neil and you did"nt drop in Sorry Nigel , I was hoping to do the rounds that day and visit Chris Sutton too , but I had to rush off to sneak the new tractor in before er in indoors got home from work , so to avoid a row I had to go like a bat out of hell to get back . I will try to pope next time I'm up in that London

She is a Beautiful Restoration Chris , when did you do the restore on her ?

Have a good work out chaps

http://www.austinsevenfriends.com A very good forum for that great little car ,The Austin 7

Wow, 9 inches long, that's a big tool for 2 inch nuts

Hmmm , I have over 15 garden tractors , to insure all of them would cost me nearly a thousand pounds each year.

Now that is nice, have you ever used it in anger ?

Lovely bit of machinery Nate , the last time I used one of those drills was when I was at school 38 years ago . I must confess that I have been looking for one of these for my workshop that I am currently building.

Beautiful traction Engine Nigel , maybe one day I will get to own one of these , in my dreams . http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Burrell_%26_Sons I never tire looking at these old steam engines , just wonderful things of engineering beauty.

That's funny you say that Richard but I had a delivery last week from My Hermes & the parcel arrived all smashed up . Refer to the (welding cast iron thread ). I was gutted as I really liked the belt driven Planer that I bought . I just wished they would treat peoples goods with care.

great pics , i wonder who the owner of the little WH suburban is ?

When you purchase items off of Ebay or other sources , do you employ your own courier to collect goods? Many People that use Ebay often don't want to get involved with hiring couriers , they would rather the buyer organise this . I was wondering if you used a particular courier to collect you busy .& what company do you recommend.? I have had Engines collected by a company called. JaysTransport from Highbridge Somerset http://www.jaystransport.co.uk

Does anyone here know how to weld cast iron ? How hard is it to do ? I bought a belt driven planer which was a lovely bit on machinery , then the postal company decided to throw it around and break the cast iron parts This is what it was like before Hermes got hold of it . And after the damage.

What is it that you are struggling to find . Is it the K181 kohler that you need info on ?
