Or vinegar, or bleach, or..... loads of stuff. At least in the UK you can still get glyphosphate unlike over 'ere.![]()
I think it’s near me over on Jura at Ardfin, they spent a lot of time over there looking for the place in the early’90’s
We've got these, some olives, some almonds and some citrus fruit, also pomegranates, avocados and figs. Its a bit windy and we lose flowers at the crucial time which reduces eventual crop plus water is always an issue. Early on we lost a few trees to cold, I think one of them was a papaya.I'm inpressed would love to grow them but to cold in the winter , also Olives , so I have just brought a olive grove further down the mountain, are thay desert or wine grapes ?
I was tempted to sell the vinyl at one point but glad I didn't, not really due to the value but because they're nice to have and a link with the past. Some of ours are a bit ragged, the sleeves etc, and a few are damaged, there's nothing mega rare there but maybe a few oddities. You may have guessed I also have the KLF's The White RoomAlso got hundreds of 45s but got rid of the LPs when we moved here big mistake when I look on the internet and the cost now made a lot of mistakes back then
Nice pics, that confirms it was one of those that I saw, it was the sort of colour the last one is.It was the R17.
The Opel Manta was bought as a stop gap for £25, with a bad oil leak from the timing belt cover and front brakes with pads worn to the metal.
Went on a 2 week holiday to Cornwall, drove around each day as it rained all the time, took 4 gallons of oil with me and it used up the lot.
Taking the timing cover off was amazingly involved so I just didn't bother.
It was also very rusty. But it went like stink as it was a 1900, and the twin choke carb meant you could feel the spring so if you drove inside it it was pretty economical, but you had the power when you put your foot down.
Loved the looks of it, from the same stable as the Opel GT. Very sort of Yank looking.
Pics don't do it justice

And the rear end with the round lights were very distinctive.

Mine was a sort of golden brown with a vinyl roof,

On for €20k and although it is 1900 it is auto. Yuk!
Shame as it is very clean.
Was going to fail the MOT on massive rust underneath. Sold it to a mega enthusiast who had a silver one that was absolutely immaculate. The Opel garage used to put it in their showroom window sometimes, presumably to get the punters in. This would be in about 1987
Love it, that's the one. Always thought it was funny that it's cleary not the same car front and back.
BovineWhat accent do they have..

Licked cuzza roolz.Morning All.
Another day in the salt mine I reckon.
W had a surprise call from the NHS y'day afternoon.
They are sorry but the post office lost a whole batch of "referral letters" and can she come in and see the folks at the bowel cancer clinic because her last test had anomalies and they want to see her. She was in tears when she told me poor gal.
We are waiting for further appointment details but we are off on Monday AM to a Hospital.
Have a good day!![]()
Kicked cuzza roolz.
My Mrs had a scan recently and was told there were anomalies and to come see the specialist. She worried herself silly, Google didn't help. Turned out the anomalies were just that and not a signal of anything bad and that she was fine. All that stress and anxiety, could've been sorted down the phone..
'Nothing to worry about, but...' might be helpful then...They like to do it face to face in case you got questions
