Hi all, apologies if it's a bit freaky getting a notification from this account, this is Molly writing. I decided to log back in today, and it's been so lovely to see that people are still remembering my dad and commenting on the thread I made after his passing ☺️. I hope I'll be able to make it...

Hi everyone, I am Bruce's youngest daughter, Molly. My dad spoke of this forum often, and has made many friends through it, and so I felt it was appropriate to post this here. As I'm sure many of you will know, my dad has been battling cancer and illness for the past five years, and...

I watched this last night (again). A great piece of TV Drama. If nothing else, it’s worth watching for the period cars, that are superb to see in their finery. I like Costner & Harrelson and believe this gives the story true life as opposed to gratuitous violence. The music is very good...

Friends Daughter got caught in horrific jams home last night. A 30 minute commute took 3 hours and saw her sucking up petrol fumes. My understanding is that spare petrol cans are not for carrying fuel in them. Rather for filling in the event you run out? This is down to H&S perfectly...

This morning I nearly ran over Mrs M & Myself. How did I manage this? Simple just lazy and complacent. Fitting a new rear Fog light to my Pajero. Mrs M asks if she may help. Light fitted wiring done I ask her go round the back of the cafeteria to test their operation along with the...

This morning i got in my 300TE 4-Matic. I turned the ignition key. All the dash lights came in order & the engine started on the first turn of the key. Worse follows. When I moved the gear leavery thingy into ‘D’ the car started wanting to move the car in a forwards direction. A quick lie...

Friends The recent thread revival on the merits (or not) of having “non-AMG” cars bedecked in AMG Badges got me thinking. As a way to to help out our members who maybe aspire to the badge but find funds a bit tight (that’s me on most nights). I have decided to offer on a limited edition basis...

Friends As above: This is not for a Merc, its for a BMW. I want to fit LEDS to the reading lamps on my X5 Dome Light it has one reading light either side of the main dome lamp. I know that the Canbus W5W Capless Wedge Error Free LED's work okay as I have tried them.. I have a fitting...

I dropped Daughter No1 & Mrs M at Ealing film studios today. Daughter was on an open day for Undergraduates. I then drove off round the corner into a nice,secluded, side street (disabled) parking bay. Had a pleasant chat with the local Parking Warden who explained that I could indeed park as I...

I like this. I like it a lot. A great project for somebody with kids. Or just a great fun project. Vintage Willis Jeep pedal car by Triang – Antiques & collectibles – Great Baddow, Essex – Marketplace | Facebook Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Buster Keaton: The Genius crushed by Hollywood. A revealing look at how Buster Keaton went from being one of Hollywood’s brightest stars in the mid-20’s, to becoming a sad, solitary alcoholic by 1933. I have not seen this. But I loved Keaton’s work. If you have never watched the man in...

Wow. This featured on BBC Breakfast News this morning. The original story appearing in the Daily Mail. Not posed (as such) it captures the Weapons System Officer (the one in the back seat) in a split second, as they look directly at the camera/photographer, who had climbed some 700 feet above...

Folks I notice an increasing trend for the use of metaphors or idioms. Now bring a Friday and bring a bit fed up today, is it only me that finds myself irritated at such trivia? “ I’m thinking on pulling the trigger on this “. = “ I want this. “ This is a wasted word rate of nearly 60%...
