Just an upload test......

There have been quite a few members with issues uploading photos, so just seeing if I get it right.

This is the new baby........

Mmmmm

No problem there?

So what is the issue?

Just click on IMG in the links box (which automatically copies) and paste on here......



There.....done it again!

Piece of wee wee.........

The little beast does not look as good as that - close inspection reveals both front indicators smashed, Rear left indicator smashed, drivers door mirror held on with duct tape, windscreen has at least 4 chips and lots of dinks and dents!

Indicators now all done, mirror replaced, sunroofs removed and re-sealed plus a lot of bit and bobs to do yet.

In time - in time......

Lol needs a Shelby lump in their to match the stripes.

Ha!

Yeah.......

The stripes are just stick-on.

They will go when re-sprayed - although SWMBO says she wants to keep them..............

I have seen a Reliant Robin with a huge V8 fitted - also 4 wheels to support the weight! Not road legal, just a mad thing at a steam fair.

It was called 'Throbbin' Robin'

Lol yes wouldn't catch me driving that. Although I do have two Reliants on the drive :-) They came out of the factory with 4 wheels though.

Reliant Kittens or Rebel's ???

I had a Bond Bug!

235 X 50 tyres and a straight through exhaust with a Cherry-Bomb.

AND it passed MOT like that every year!

Mad as a box of frogs!

There is one here on the Island in absolute Showroom condition. Funnily enough I saw it a couple of days ago in Ventnor in a local supermarket carpark. Anyway enough of these Horror Stories. 

We will be giving Logi Nightmares for weeks to come.

Nay, Scimitars. GTE and an SS1.

Ooooh......

Collectors items they are!

There is one dumped for the past three years in a property not
300 yards from where I live and it belongs to a friend of mines
son who lives in Holland. I have been trying to prise it out of his
sticky hands for a while now because he won't do anything with
it.
He only comes home about four times a year and is due again in October. Will have another go at him then.

Just nick it as an abandoned vehicle!

Years ago I had a fantastic Vulcan Engineering built 3 litre V6
lump in a Mk 4 Cortina.
It developed nearly 200 bhp and had the
triple Weber 40 DFA set up on it with K&N's.
Wonderful induction roar from the Webers when you gave it a boot full.

Somehow I think Brian wouldn't like that and his son even less.
I am damn well going to get it off him eventually.

I will take a couple of piccies and practice my new found skills---
Or not !!!

Oh the days when we could play........instead of these new fangled computer driven things........

Hence the attraction of simple machines like the Hijet..............

Ha ha very funny. Its the drivers that are simple more like.
Especially me and photo bucket.   

Oh for FS

It really is easy mate.

You have a Photobucket account yes?

So - upload a photo - clic on it to select - look to the RH panel and just clic on the IMG......it will auto copy.
Go back to the forum and paste........(CTL V ) if you want.
THAT EASY!

Photobucket is just a cloud store.
But it has been used for years as a medium for transferring from store to site. I don't quite get the problems?

Just go to 'photobucket' - set up the account and use it.....What is the problem?

Clic paste - easy......

I really don't know what to say other than that......

Thought I better just do this HJ just to prove its that easi-peasi .

This cannot be happening?!

Old dogs, new tricks - what a load of nonsense!!


Nice collection of Hijets.

Hey that HW51 FKP van... I might need an ignitor unit (bolted to the rocker cover) for a van I'm visiting down the M6 on Tuesday, but I don't have one in stock. I have all the testing data for the Ignitor unit, so if it turns out to be the cause of the fault I may come begging  Do you have one?

Got loads of them off Matt on the shelf. No problem -- let me know ASAP and First class post you should get next day.

 LP and Mel did this week and I sent Door Cards to Mel and they were actually over the PO measurements.

 I posted them at 15-50pm and he got them before midday.

If you ring me in the morning I can post you one before 4pm and you should get it Monday 
morning and you can take it with you and save another journey if it is the problem.

I take it that on a 51 plate you are meaning the individual igniter(4) rather than the earlier double ones ??? 

Sort the Dosh out afterwards. 

Blimey 4-30am . Got to be up in 90 mins. Oh well -- just another long Day !!

I mean the ignitor unit - not a coil pack.

On a later one, there is 4 coil packs that plug onto the spark plugs.

Then there is an electrical box with a plug on one end and another plug on the other.

Looks like this:-

Right now I know what you mean -- there's a couple in the cabinet
where I keep all the electrical spares.

will there be one on one of your engines in storing for you?

Sorry Dinoh but not sure what you at getting at . Are you in need of one yourself?
It is bit early in the morning though, so please excuse me. 

It was a cryptic message I think directed at me

Ah! I guess Dinoh is the recipient then.
