Re: Griff Wheels Pole

I thought about just sticking this in the youtube vid thread, but will drop it here instead. I think I've just uncovered my Euromillions Garage Griff. Have it brought to my room immediately. :ugeek: https://www.sportmotive.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Sportmotive_GriffithSELS06.jpg Chassis / suspe...

Re: Trump

I’ve seen many comments about the miraculous healing of his ear that apparently had a hole blown though it, despite cartilage not growing back etc etc etc - but this is the first time I have seen this angle.

Re: Motosport / Car Memorabilia

I spent a lot of time getting into shooting panoramic images, kinda before software did it all for you and there was a heap of technique involved. My folks climbed all the Munro's - finishing them whilst I was in my 20's. It was only later in life that I realised what a feat this was. My dad always...

Re: Racing Drivers IRL ruin Spa 24H iRacing

The one who apparently wasn't there honest (Scoular) is signed up to https://www.paloumotorsport.com/ driving in Eurocup3. I can't imagine this real-life race team will be too impressed (although I think they are a "pay for your seat" operation), and some have suggested that all of the sub...

Re: Jack envy

Maybe we need a thread for impact wrenches as well. There was an earlier discussion here . I've got a smaller DeWalt than the StrongBroo monster mentioned on there (mine is the DCF894) - less power obvs but it's also somewhat easier to weild. For wheels I still prefer to break bolts with a good old...

Re: Your fleet running reports

Mustang: I was at Modurstang all day yesterday while they fitted new control arms, track rod ends, tie rods, and a Pedders Sportsryder lowering kit. WOW, what a difference! I knew it would be a hell of an improvement but the drive home, even in the pissing rain, was mega. Completely transformed the...

I haven’t done one, but the rally schools that still use old Escorts seem to get generally strong reviews.

Re: Jack envy

I was looking at their low profile 2 tonner - Very tempted but the Halfords version is half the price. I have the Halfords one - see page1 of this thread. Had it for years. As far as I can tell the SGS one is identical. It's been a decent jack, but whilst it does goes low - it's "reach" i...

Re: Jack envy

Only realised today that - as long as the Jack isn't too low - I can slip my 2T axle stands nicely inside my 3T jack : no requirement to locate a second strong point on the body (that is usually such a PITA) in order to achieve axle-standy-safety. 8-) 8-) https://i.imgur.com/LutGV2c.jpeg https://i.i...
