OY, I used a binatone r66 for years, it was a great set, seemed to put out a lot stronger signal than most of the 87fms back in the day, and it cost 17 quid, saw one for £40 on fleabat the other day. We stopped using them cos the whole spectrum got blanketed by what sounded like a warsaw cab...

No, "Over" means, over to you, as in, I am expecting a reply. Out means I have left the conversation.

"over and out" dosent make any sense, "over" means you are expecting a reply, and out means you dont..... As to things being left in cars, a brass pig once fell out of a Formula Ford in the middle of a race.

Hi there, I am Ian, been looking round the site for a little while, lots of useful stuff in the forums, just as well as I have recently bought a 90 TDI, and whilst it is, I am assured, in very good nick It needs a few little bits n bobs, but that seems to be common for LRs.......
