Robin Ford

Hi Rog I have an unused tyre matching that specification sitting in my garage that I would be pleased to get rid of so you would be welcome to have it. I am based in Hampshire. Robin

I have a single example of that size that was at one time my spare but was never used so the tread is definitely decent You are welcome to have it for nothing since it is just taking up space in my garage.

Yes, I am definitely local - ever since we moved to our current house we have never been quite sure whether to say we are in Frogmore or Darby Green so probably no more than half a mile from you!

Brian, that was my tube that you welded in the car park in Avigliana in 2009 so thank you again for that It was good enough to get me safely back to the UK where of course I had it replaced immediately for whatever was the latest type at the time Robin

This morning before 8 on Lower Sandhurst Road - yellow or orange with a green stripe? I was on my bike with orange lenses in my glasses so not entirely sure of the colour. I would have waved but I think that my hands were frozen to my handlebars At least you looked well wrapped up against the cold

I have a set of 5 13 inch wheels that I no longer need. They currently have Yoko 21s on them. Let me know if you are interested.

Ian, does it come with a discount for only having one number plate?

in the last 10 days, without using motorways (apart from about 20 miles), and no spotted! I could make a very similar statement (apart from about 300 motorway miles) 😬

Wow - 15 years to the week after getting my 7 and this is my first spotted on Blatchat I was on my way to and from James Whiting in Ashford and it felt like I was taking a chance not fitting the half hood for the return journey but luckily I got away with only a few spots of rain actually making it into the cabin. Thanks for the toot, I did notice although wasn't 100% sure which car it came from

Hi Alan, I am happy to commit to buying - it will just be a straight swap for my old unit so it should make my job an easy one Robin

Hi Alan, I would be interested in this if it turns out that neither Alan nor John want to proceed - my existing Autocom has been dodgy for some time and finally gave up on the recent Wight Blat so I need to find a replacement. Robin

In Rijswijk at about 17:45 today. Dark silver, RHD but not a UK plate - too far away for me to see clearly without my glasses but possibly German registered?

It sounds like Ray and Marion Pearce on their way to Liverpool for the overnight ferry to Belfast for the Se7ens List tour. As it happens I also spotted them on the M56 on the return leg this afternoon

Nah, I reckon that it would be easier to fit them to the top of the seven than the Mazda - at least there are plenty of things like the roll bar to lash stuff to on the seven 😬

I am working in Bradford this week but my transport is the MX-5 so there is no way that I can accommodate these - sorry Ian ☹️

Yet another for the 8000A, also had mine since new. Coincidentally I also have a Denon DR-M10 and think that is worth a too

I picked up my car from James Whiting yesterday and I asked about the weight of the new tube but he had not been able to weigh it because his scales did not get back from the menders until after he had fitted the tube to my car...

Hi Ian, You'll have to wait a little while longer for an answer - I am currently in the departure lounge at Montreal airport waiting for the flight home I plan to pick the car up from James Whiting either Wednesday or Thursday and I will let you know any information that I may get regarding weights then. Robin

Bri, thanks again for looking through the darkened glass for me It's all held together fine so far although it is off to James Whiting at the end of the week for a new tube to be fitted just in case Robin

Yesterday I made a posting in the For Sale in Aid of Nuke the Luke section here to advertise that I wanted to dispose of (i.e. they are free ) my old copies of Classic and Sports Car, but I can see from the number of viewings that the NtL section doesn't get so much attention so I have added this cross-forum post in the hope that someone might want them in exchange for a small donation to charity. Robin

I am looking to dispose of my old copies of Classic and Sports Car magazine and while I understand that they do not have much of a sale value I would hope that anyone who is interested in them would be willing to make a small contribution to Nuke the Luke in exchange. The copies that I have run from July 1999 through to April 2006 inclusive without any missed issues. That of course means the complete calendar years of 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005. I would be happy to supply any individual copy, for example if there is a particular article that was of interest or perhaps if you are a collector of the magazine but missed a particular issue. If you are interested in taking any of these off my hands then please let me know, otherwise they will be going to the recycling centre in the New Year...

4 unused Yokohama AO32R 185/60X13 S compound £220 - NOW SOLD Just the following item remains for sale: 1 unused Yokohama AO32R 185/60X13 SS compound £55 Buyer to collect from Farnborough Hampshire Edited by - Robin Ford on 31 May 2006 17:29:21 Edited by - Robin Ford on 31 May 2006 17:34:09

Don't worry Myles, they all do that. I have been told that it happens when the radiator fan is running when you switch off. Even if that is not the right explanation, I *know* that it's still not a problem.

Jeremy Yes 4 would be better than 2, but there again 2 would be better than none! To be honest I wasn't too sure about how much, although I was thinking in the region of £50 for all 4. Let me know if you're still interested on that basis or if you're still only interested in 2. Robin
