Bugatti? No, sorry. Will a Morris 1000 do you? My attempt at an accurate reproduction of the suspension system of these cars supported by a very 'square' bodyshell (WIP). Not by any means a conventional suspension system with torsion bars, no wishbones or anti-roll bars and rear leaf springs. On the model It all functions as it should.

The road version of this is the first bike I drooled over and ached to own.
Hope it goes to a very appreciative owner who puts it in a glass case.

One of my efforts (for sale BTW)

The blue Campag packet...

There should be a pair of 'tweezers' in there.

Has this been found?

When I was doing deliveries you could pretty much guarantee that two silver Mercs on a driveway meant trouble.

I used to love Audis. Not so keen now cos all the ****ers that drove BMW's are driving Audis.

(Just an observation. Not suggesting ALL of both were/are *****ers. The representation of characters in this piece does not portray actual real persons and any likeness is purely coincidental, blah, blah, etc, etc)

Looks like a British Eagle Touristique frameset.
Main frame tubes are 531, forks and stays are 501.

On the freewheel BB set there appears to be an empty shallow inset in the plastic former. What should be there please?

I also dislike this tendency today generally across all LEGO of smoothing all surfaces

Got to agree with you there. It just ends up looking scrappy. As soon as you try to include curvature into a model it ramps up the expectation of realism and accuracy. What Lego have done has left that Bugatti looking like the cat's been at it.
It's a bit like CGI'ing a human face onto Captain Pugwash.

Can't say if they are defunct as I haven't been up there since 1980.
Friday night special: fish and chips, packet of Tudor, a Texan bar and a bottle of Lowcock's dandilion and burdock.
Aw man.

I am after a 170mm Hollowtech road left hand crank arm, preferably black. It's to match a Sora crankset but Tiagra/105 would fit the bill. Threads and interfaces intact please. Cosmetic condition doesn't have to be A1 but I don't want ratty either.

A woman's husband dies and at the funeral parlour she is asked how she would like her husband to look in the open coffin at the funeral. "Oh I am so glad you asked. If its not too much trouble I would like to see him in a tuxedo. We never could afford one but it would mean so much to me. " the undertaker promised to do what he could. The day of departure came and he was dressed as she wished and the widow stopped after the service to thank those concerned. "Oh it really was no trouble or expense madam. Quite by chance that very afternoon a gentleman arrived who had passed away in a casino. He had a gambling addiction which was of great concern and strife within the marriage. To his wife the sight of him in a coffin wearing a tuxedo would have been too much to bear. So with you husband beside him as we prepared them both for their final journey it was just a case of swapping their heads".

Sliced banana in sunflower seed bread. Glass of semi skimmed to wash it down. Would be perfect mid ride munch but neither travel well on a bike.
Boo hoo.

Pantomimes. Brainless, predictable, flouncy, sh-poo. As a child I thought it was an insult to my intelligence (mediocre, by the way) and my opinion is no different now. I was dragged kicking and screaming to one when I was 8 and spent the entire performance praying that an usherette or some such would wander over and offer me some red hot pins so I could stick them in my eyes for a bit of light relief.

708 is one of the best tubesets Reynolds ever made IMHO. Way better than the stuff Surly use. Buy it now and use it forever.

Growing up in Teesside there was a brand of crisps called Tudor. Their pickled onion flavour were awesome. I would often follow up with a bottle of vinegar just to soothe my taste buds.

Yep. So just for my collection.

Ta. I can feel his pain.

Some years ago I came to the conclusion that I was being menaced by some sort of pre-stalker. In the course of my life I had performed a particular function an estimated 40,000 times accurately and in a manner found acceptable and necessary by the majority of the population. My employers were a well respected national organisation who strived for the best possible employees, and treated them with respect - and that was reciprocated. It was an ordered and hygenic environment that was regularly monitored. So, taking all that into account what, I ask, is the probability that on every single occasion I used the urinals someone had got there before me and pissed on the floor?

You sir, are a lout.

Idiot neighbours on a summer afternoon who rev their hedge trimmers like they are 8 year old pikey kids sitting on a nicked scooter and laced up on iron bru and mentos.

Stupid, stupid, stupid pub meals served with garnish. Why the effing ell would I want coleslaw with sausage beans and chips? And what's with adding a scrotum-sized portion of salad with a hot meal? Is there anything in the whole world more unappetising than warm lettuce?
Oi, chef. No!

Love it. Cheers for that.

'Funny' radio ads that are scheduled every commercial break. Do they get the advertising exec that passed these to sit down and listen to them every 15 minutes for a whole day/week/month?
