Tomorrow's World showcases the cassette-powered precursor to the sat nav. Apparently it was a huge leap forward from the gramophone version. But my Dad was furious when I recorded Top of the Pops over them. Cheers, Deggers

Yesterday marked the finale of the 39th re-enactment of the 1000 Miglia. A stunning array of sporting classics once again, including eight Triumph TR entries and a 1957 works TR3 from the US driven by Hans Abrahams and navigator Aaron Bendikson. Andrea Vescoe and Fabio Salvinelli won the race in the 1929 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Super Sport: chalking up Vescoe's third victory in the same car. Cheers, Deggers

No, not overly keen on cows. Best a

Hi Pete, Impressive CAD drawings. I know you mentioned at the top of the thread that you've already discounted a number of trailer-tent options, but having had a quick browse through Youtube, I thought I'd link this 'Raclet' advert below . . . for obvious reasons. Cheers, Deggers

A great auction Hamish, and it was good to see so much interest. A busy week for me at work meant I couldn't tune in for the live stream on the 9th (which as it happens, probably wasn't such a bad thing after all ... a live auction, a credit card and an idle mind can be a dangerous combination! Been there, done that, bought expensive T-shirt!) The results having now been published, I see the 1928 AJS G8 I had my eye on achieved £20,700 (about mid estimate). Many of the lots managed to surpass their estimates, but the Star of the Show was the 1937 Indian Four 437. An incr

All the very best Don, and a very Happy Birthday. Hoping all's well in Saint Louis. Cheers, Deggers
