You've been there a long time. We only come over here 6 months a year and that is April to October. But when we used to come over in the winter the village was closed to traffic twice. So that is since 2004. We rely on neighbours to send us pics if we get snow. We also go the Dales a lot in...

And you! Best of luck in your search!

I have them, or similar, on one of my Disco 1s they are OK, my Disco 2 has Goodyear All terrains, I think. But I thought you had to drive around on studded or winter tyres where you live?

You are dead right, which is why it is a job best done in a warm dry spell, although you can speed things up by using hairdryers, hot air guns,infra-red heaters if you have a garage, which I don't, well not tall enough to take a Disco!

Just one last question as I really must lock up the chicken coop and get to bed, what tyres do you run on in the winter?

Wow!! closest to that I have known is a house I lived in in Bath, where ground floor at the front was the first floor at the back and the garden was so steep, if it rained you slid down it. So pretty cool at night then!

People on here are always on about what is the best paint, and of course over here in Frogland it isn't easy to get the same thing. Message a guy called Datatek he may be able to help as he lives near Poitiers and is a mine of info about this sort of stuff. You'll read his stuff on P38s on the...

Is it hot where you are? We are at 600 metres above sea level and it is currently 27 outside the house and 26 inside, on the ground floor, but we drove to the canal du Midi today in 39 degs. Phew!

Well wouldn't you just know it! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Well, that is a bridge I'll cross when/if It comes to it, meanwhile I may have a peak and see if there is enough left to preserve!!. thanks for the indication as to where to find it!!

And that's a Mercury engine, not an "Evenruder" 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 135 hp, that's some engine ain't it?

Coooool looking boat!!! Of course I know naff all about them, boats I mean.

I had the rear of the chassis really well welded a couple of years back, so not replaced. I have never looked for the chassi number, it is prolly covered in paint. I have a set of number punches and a mate has a full set of number and letter punches, so I'd prolly just borrow them and re-indent...

You'll have to remind me, put up a pic! I practically have Andy on speedial but I am in the wrong country for his book which I have over there which shows every mad car, and some sane ones, that her ever built.

"Evenrude" 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 Love it!! "Evenruder" was that one!! Starflight is appropriate though, ain't it!!?? 🤣🤣🤣

I have no idea, I think he may have done it before I knew him as well as I eventually did. It did a funny thing, he could tip it up so the boat rested on its gunwale or rubbing strip or summat, and it would stay that way till you pushed it back on its wheels again, i.e if you took a bend a bit...

I can't help either as mine is a plain old early D2 with the D1 stle lights.

On my D2? It is 2000 my, so may not be sucha problem, but I have no idea!

Piloted, whatever!! 🤣 Live and let die.

If we ever decide to move over here permanently I may be in exactly this same position!
