    Sun, Sea and I'm too old to remember what the other was, Brazzer RN 1 will know!! You all enjoy yourself I'll like after the shop!! My old dad use to use his hanky as a sun hat - tie a knot at each corner and off you go..... I can remember as a kid having a knitted looking/feeling swimming trunks, ok till they go wet, and when you came out of the water the crotch was full of wet sand and round your knees.... My mother used to put Baby Oil (steady it's my mother) on as sun tanning oil - it was all the rage! Then when we were all red as beetroot we were covered in Calamine lotion that turned into a white powder.... Happy Days
  3. Lets telling it as it is, The most dangerous thing in the world are old men, they have nothing to lose and don't care what they say !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Fair winds and Following seas - Bazzer RN 1๐Ÿšข๐Ÿ˜Ž
  4. Didn't think you had Bazzer RN 1 for one moment, think you know me a little now, Air con - window open your window - bad starting get the old starting handle out and a tin on boiled sweets on the dash. Think Ginger Beer CEng you have been speaking to an expert I have a lot of them in my line of dog training and behaviour never had a dog but read loads of books and know everything.....until a 12 stone (sorry don't do Kg's hahahah Rottie comes along that hasn't read the books!!! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
  5. Is that from a manual ? Bit too heavy for this old bloke, I'd throw that right out of the window if it is!!
  6. Agree JRA I remember when diesel was what we should all have and diesel was always cheap than petrol . Now we all have to love electric, where are all the old batteries going when they are knackered but by than we will have a new brunch of idiots cocking things up because they are all the same in it for themsevles if it was us running thinks like they do we'd be in clink. Years ago we had statemen running the country for the good of the country all we have now are career politicans, think I'm right in saying that Camron, Clegg and Miliband had never done anything (and there's more) else. The end deal is its our money the use they don't pay for anything.
  7. Bazzer RN 1 I have no plans to enter any cities any time soon, I'll stay in 60's and 70's hahahahah
  8. JRA your post sums up the way we are treated by our lords and masters, they seem to forget that they work for us (or should) instead it seems they can get away with any thing with no real recall and after 5, 10 or so years walk awalk without a care.
  9. yep mine too, clean but a little on the edge and the girls come out on top !!
  10. With all the doom and gloom that our lords and master are creating, what happen to Statemen (or women) that lead this country?? Hope you can have a laugh if this opens. Alan One for the girls!.mp4
  11. It did seem odd to me, i could only think that those areas had a lower acceptances???? Likely misunderstood it, in short my old girl is dirty without a differant exhaust and engine. Alan
  12. Interesting just checked my 18 year old CRV and seems I would have to pay ยฃ8 in Birmingham and Bristol but clear on all others, checked on the Goverment website. AS I live in Fenland and have no plans to venture into the drug and gang riddled cities I won't worry too much yet,,,,,,drugs and gangs ....we have plenty here as well. Alan
  13. Hi LostLancastrin, I've been a member since July, think it's a great place for help and information for all things Honda and more. I'm a CRV 2005 owner best car I've had. Alan
  14. An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. โ€œA fight is going on inside me,โ€ he said to the boy. โ€œIt is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil โ€“ he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.โ€ He continued, โ€œThe other is good โ€“ he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you โ€“ and inside every other person, too.โ€ The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, โ€œWhich wolf will win?โ€ The old Cherokee simply replied, โ€œThe one you feed.โ€

    The Traffic lights, my parents bought them back from a hoilday in Spain or Italy I would have been around 20 ish had them fitted in a Hillman Minx Est, a friend who worked at a garage fitted wired them up.

    Remember................ trips away and collecting those little flags that you stuck on the back windows to show where you had been ..... the waving hand (and nodding dog) that you had at the back window...... anyone have the traffic lights hanging in the back window - went red when you braked, amber when you had your foot off the brake but not moving and of course green when the accelerator......cost me ยฃ1.10/- to have wired in (ยฃ1.50p for you younger members!!) 6ft flexible aerials.....
  17. Top Man, thanks Bazzer I'll have a look, I checked out Ebay and there was a good number to pick from that after putting my reg in came up, Will certainly print the fuse and relay list off.
  18. At that price, as you say it's a worth ago. Here comes the dumb bit.....where do I find the A/C reley please.
  19. Thanks Bazzer, did you get the relay checked at a garage or just went for it? Did you get your new Royal Black tyres fitted and if you did what do you think so far?

    Rugs!!!!!! if only you could find a girl who wanted to share it๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜ I just remember the horse drawn milk cart...... they knew every stop on the round Postmen on bikes in red suilts....... Red Barrel and Double Diamond........ Shops closed for a half day every week, closed every day at 6pm none open on a Sunday apart from paper shops, .... and not a supermarket in sight. And your were served at the pumps!!!!

    Fina was another. Is Duckhams oil still about? Remember the Tiger tails you had hanging out the filler cap - Esso puts a tiger in your tank!! - before that something similar to smurfs promoting 'happy motoring' Shell with the half of a money note - 10/- or ยฃ1 that you had to match up Green shield stamps - 30 fold!! save them books...... and what about the go fast pinline that you stuck on your car..... Never drove your car without your coton backed driving gloves and sunglasses on...... and your name and your girlfriends acrossed the top of the windscreen,,,,,,
  22. Thanks for the advice b4u2 I'll get it done the dogs will certainly be pleased I'm sure

    See the fuel prices are on the up again, same every year at hoilday time the prices always go up. Many years ago I managered a service station (Chevron Oil Co) !!! and the prices were always increased at those times because people are normally going out and about more. Remember - Texaco, Regent, Total, anymore??????
  24. Took my CRV for a re gas to be told it needed the conpresser replaced at a cost of around ยฃ270 fitted, to be honest it's the first car I've had with air con, it's always beed open the windows in the past. Do you think that a fair price, and is it really worth worrying about I don't do loads of miles now...any views on air con please
