through some old Practical motorist magazines dating from the 1960's that i found in the loft of the house we recently bought and some of the features and letters were tbh amusing to say the least. Topics like 'overhaul your dynamo' and 'how to keep your trunnions at their best' to name but a few but the best i thought was the letter pages where one guy was venting his disgust at having just bought a new Austin 1100 deluxe to find that it would cost him £9 more to have a heater fitted or the bloke who described the poor gearchange on his Ford Zephyr and was told that the clutch needed changing and to be prepared to pay up to £12 for it !!!!!!! £12 for a clutch change !!!! How scandalous !!!! Made for a welcome distarction to the rubbish on telly i dont mind saying.
 
If I heard someone talking about their trunnions being in poor condition I'd assume that they'd be off to the Doctor's :D
