1) Open a bank account the wife knows nothing about.
2) arrange large overdraft facilities on the account.

pn color code spring rate
tt4102 PY 420lb 5.75" fitted lengthRears:
Can't really tell from your description but a 9.5" spring is a tt4211 WY 390lb 9.5"
Stiffer springs are usually shorter, I had problems with my car bottoming out on speed bumps when lower /stiffer fitted so just check ground clearance.

Drving near Usk many years ago in a Sierra drove along a flooded lane, perhaps eight inches or so of water, slow and steady textbook stuff. Went really well until I slowed down and the wake behind overtook the car lifting the car up and it floated along turning for a few feet before coming to rest at right angles across the very narrow road beautifully positioned with no room to manouver the car back onto the road. Unfortunately no camera phones then.

Carcoon for mine, at the price and the runnning cost it would be difficult to find another solution so cheap which does the job.Humidity is not controlled but the constant airflow equalises the temperature between air & metal and it does not suffer from condenation. If the car is wet when loaded in then it soon dries and stays thay way.

John,
You agree with every point I made but you fail at the final hurdle in accepting that it is unnecessary to keep re vaccinating those who have been vaccinated to protect the vaccine deniers, reportedly one in three of those in London and significant percentages in Manchester, Cardiff and Birmingham?
Repeated re-vaccination with the corona vaccine is experimental; it has not even had a limited trial. Your suggestion that she should consider Pfizer is strange in the latest under reporting of adverse reactions by Pfizer
My wife had no symptoms whatsoever with the first vaccination, only reacting to the second vaccination. As an engineer I can only extrapolate that to the more the exposure the greater the reaction and I see many papers from around the world looking at a correlation between Type A blood and clotting post coronavirus vaccination from all manufacturers
Why do you believe we should ignore T cell immunity and focus only on antibodies only to fight covid a policy that is not adopted in any program combatting any other viral infection?

John,
"Vaccination originated with the use of cow pox ....... their use is not experimental."
Please don't confuse my argument. How many people have been constantly revaccinated with cow pox every three months, also has the cow pox vaccination we have all had lost its efficacy?
A vaccine will alert the immune sytem and raise the antibody level at the same time adding the vaccine characteristics to the T cells. After a few months of inactivilty the level of antibodies targeting the vaccine will decline.
There are already issues with clotting, particularly with people with blood group type A which has A antigens on the red cells and anti-B antibodies in the plasma. My wife has had blood clotting following the second vaccination and will not accept a booster.
I repeat my original point that repeated vaccination is experimental, nothing worng with a single vaccination - I'm all in favour of that.

Roger,
With some vaccine manufacturers making so much money which company would pay for any clinical trials? D3 was so cheap it was never trialed previously.
What worries me is that all of our vaccinated bodies should have T cell immunity=, but during the delay before the T cells kick in we can be spreaders so the governments want us to have antibody immunity, which fades away when there is nothing to fight within a few months, so we need to keep having boosters to annoy outr immune systems and raise our antibody levels. But that only reduces us spreading the disease if we catch it to those who wont get vaccinated.
So the boosters are not for us but required to save the unvaccinated from clogging the NHS, ok for a while but our immune systems are not naturally in a state of high alert constantly and I'm not sure I want to play that particular experimental game with my body.
The NHS needs money but spending on constant re-vaccination could be a massive drain on resourses on both cash and skilled manpower when the cheaper and more bradly beneficial D3 is available.

Roger, some months ago it was reported that the licence to inject the vaccine was given as no other remedy was available. Once d3 is acknowledged then the vaccine is not licenced. So stupidity and red tape reigns supreme.
Obviously the vaccine is best to fight covid but all the myriad benefits of raising D3 levels are being lost

Peter,
In my family the Christmas tree is about family memories, some old ornaments from Grandma's, old ornate bulbs from my late parents trees and bits and bobs from our girls. Just memories. That bauble above with your car must evoke so many memories when you see it again at Christmas.
Priceless.

Thank you for returning.

Any documents exist from way back when?
There may be press cuttings from the original construction and opening that have a story and details, check the local paper's archives.

I'm not an original look man but I think the car looks "heavier" on the black wheels, the wires make it look less like a shunting engine -sorry!. The vents too large and being black brought them into the foreground when looking at the car. Perhaps Triumph had a reason to omit them, good taste.

Lightly rub outside of brass tube with abrasive to score the surface and assist the adhesive. Brass is often coated with light oil, strip that with brake cleaner or similar.

And Lewis goes to the Palace tomorrow to be knighted by the Queen, the best recognition for a man who always waved the flag.

I believe Lewis won the race, and Max won the sprint lap.
Box office over the rule book, sad if no rule is set in stone.
Perhaps the race result needs to stand, but it not be counted towards the world championship, so we end with a joint victory.

John,
Just look at the last few races overtake attempts by Lewis on Max on corners. On every occasion Max has gone into the corners too fast and gone striaght on taking Lewis out into the greenery, or a touch of double decker parking. I honestly believe that if lewis is ahead of Max then Max will attempt to take him out to win the "championship". Even brake testing to get an advantage if Lewis needed a new front wing as per the last outing.
If Max does win that way then the championship is devalued. I cannot believe the Bernie Ecclestone would have allowed the situation to develop in this way he always looked to the future of the sport in ten or twenty years time not just a one season wonder.
Unless the racing is clean then it has no merit and probably a reducing audience and a reducing income.

Hamish,
Verstappen thinks he is driving one of those anyway. Since when has running your opponent off the road being acceptable, he is a dirty driver that brings the sport no credit.

It brought back memories of my youth in the company vans driving for fun on the wide, wet cobbled areas on the dock side, and when we got real snow setting off for the weekend to the north Yoirkshire moors with a shovel and grit and a sleeping bag in the back just incase.

For a circuit built like a toboggan run it produced an interesting spectacle for the viewers, a very exciting race with the commentators going into overdrive.
I enjoyed that race. Worth watching if you have not seen it.

Peter,
Have you thought of a Tesla power wall?
Basically a set of batteries that take over when the power is off. They can also be set to charge on cheaper overnight electric and are then used during the day when electric is more expensive so recovering some of the costs everyday of the year. In an extended power cut could be recharged with a smaller generator over a long period whilst taking the spike load of freezers and kettles etc which is hard to have a generator capable of.

Duncan,
perhaps but plenty of stories in the press that Home-working is to become permanent feature for Civil Service
This was already being introduced into the DiO since 2016'ish, possibly in other government departments to allow them to downsize office buildings.
I could be charitable and suggest the practice needs time to mature to produce good results, but then i'm a cynic.

I remember the local Routmasters from East Yorkshire who's route went through the low North Bar gate in Beverly so were rebuilt with a pointed roof to get through.
