Some people are like Slinkies - they serve no useful purpose, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them downstairs.

Oh come on, it's one b in place of a p, hardly a hanging offence especially as it's like the same letter reflected and rotated... ;)

The quality of the teasing in this thread is definitely on a downward trajectory. :lol:

:shock: Not yours as well? Thae eels are a bugger to get rid of. He's right, Glenn, it's hovercraft but helicopter is somehow funnier. And the pen of my Aunt is still on the table.

If only the late, great Colin McRae had made a similar error he'd still be alive. :cry:

His licence and type rating had expired - and he was a repeat offender in that respect. He'd been in trouble with the CAA a number of times for it. A thoroughly unprofessional aviator all round and quite literally an accident waiting to happen.




Waiting over, of course. The only sad part was that he took other people with him

With my body making work on the car impossible, it was time to hit the
books both paper and electronic.

I think that I will be able to bypass the Rockwell immobilizer for the purpose
of fault finding to getting the old girl running, or even remove it entirely.
However if removed entirely there will be no remote entry or immobilizer,
which I think the insurance might frown upon!

But if the insurance company new how easy it was to set or programme the
bloody thing they might either put the premium up or tell me to replace it!
And there is a slight difference between the factory service manual and the
actual cars wiring which I can work with.

I will modify the immobilizer if this Rockwell manufactured one goes back, I
will make the Ariel a lot bigger so it's not hidden deep in the dash and gets a
better signal if stood further away. (It's an easy mod to do)

When I had five minutes on Wednesday I pulled out the American licence
plate bracket and a show plate which is the same size as the US plate but
is totally illegal for the use on British roads. This is just to see where it
might be best to fit the new front plate.

First in the standard placement (sticky tape holding it on)
Image

Then upturning the bracket and correcting the plate , and held on with string.
Image

Image

And the comparison between the illegal show plate and a standard licence plate
(And the standard plate is damaged which is why it needs replacing)
You can plainly see the difference in the size of the font.
Image

When I was at Sewells Auto Spares the chaps let me use a blank of the only
other British standard road legal licence plate on the American licence plate
bracket for you to compare.
Image

Image

I might need a little rethink on the plate bracket.
The main reason I was at the shop was to pick up the new rear springs for the
car. So back under the car tomorrow.
