    Condensation

    One of those roof van revolving vents works very well. I'am making another in the garage at the mo, slighty less high so can get the roof rack on, as the wind turns it drives a small fan underneath and sucks out damp air. My other worked very well, since the landy was parked in damp no...

    Green laning Wrexham area??

    I had the same thoughs as you mate, why pay to go out with people until I releaised I wasn't going out with anyone at all for months on end. Not everyone has tinertnet access, just joining some crapppy club doesn't mean you'll get out if the club don't go. So for some people its a way to "get...
