    An honorable person

    Yep, phil240 is another. The centre stand I bought from him had to go in a bigger box and he didn't want the extra postage cost, but that was too bad, because I paid it anyway :)

    What have you done to your XS today?

    You'll be so used to the way it was it will feel weird at first. Just enjoy how free it feels.

    Just out of curiosity - Airplane Guys

    Lots of stiff upper lip and every bugger out with their Hind-Sighto-Scope, but worth a watch. An old TV doc that interviewed many of the people involved (or their surviving relatives).

    Whats your weather right now?

    After nearly a fortnight of brilliant early summer weather, back to a week of cold miserable wet stuff. Even had to put my winter shirt and breeks back on, wandering around in my boxers was alarming the neighbours.

    Petcock fuel barb installation

    I used epoxy on mine. Clean up well and let sit to cure properly. Lasted a decade so far.

    Should we be afraid of Artificial Intelligence?

    Hah, it is getting slightly better. The other day I asked an Amazon customer service bod if it was human or AI. It assured me she was human, but I don't know that I believed her.

    Just out of curiosity - Airplane Guys

    Yeah, just looking it up, it seems the names stuck into the next gen, causing some confusion here. I read numerous accounts of butts being saved by Puff and Spooky's presence, but the troops on the ground weren't fastidiously accurate about recording whether it was an older or newer version.

    Ageing out or The Crossroads

    71 here. I grudgingly put a car on the road last October and have spent the past six months bike-ride-less, because of the wintry weather. I finally gave up the struggle against it.

    Getting the ‘57 beetle back on the road in 2024

    He said picking potatoes in Scotland beat the shit out of working on Panzers in the Russian winter. I think he was captured in Normandy after being relieved and sent back for a rest. Sooner or later he'd have been back in the East.

    Getting the ‘57 beetle back on the road in 2024

    Schweinfurt, eh? My friend's father came from there, before he was captured and imprisoned near Loch Lomond.
