    Best new winter boots ?

    I like the look of the BFG AT’s and the new ones sound like a good all round tyre. Last winter I ended up snowed in so wanting to be able to get out this year. Knowing my luck it won’t snow.

    Best new winter boots ?

    It’s time to change my current boots as they have been on her since 2005 ! Current boots are Goodridge all terrain Probably going to change to the same ones just a modern version. Any one running with these and how were they in the snow ? I’m not going to be using them for off-roading.

    1965 series 2a restoration ( not the lemon )

    The original post explains. I first bought a 1971 series from a well known Northern series dealer. It was an un road worthy dangerous Lemon. After a very public fight with them they took it back rather than me suing them. I then bought my 65 2a which I love and carried out the restoration my...

    1965 series 2a restoration ( not the lemon )

    What better way to spend a few hrs on a sunny Saturday afternoon fitting the bulkhead back on to the old girl. Starting to look like a series again. This week the engine was taken out to be cleaned up and painted. Removal allowed for the front chassis to be painted properly then wax oiled.
