I stood on the crank with the bike on the floor and bounced a few times and now it clears, which doesnt seem right at all. As usual the thread...

    Every year they go through the pantomime of reducing single use plastic and it just keeps getting worse and worse and the plastics keep getting stronger and stronger to protect the goods. Look at the wrappers on chocolate bars now, you could use them to pick up cars.

    We were obsessed with them, Brian had an arched mk1, Stan had a mk2 Mexico with a 2 litre dropped in, I had a mk3 Turbo, Nibby had the Cosworth, Mark had a fully prepared mk2 arched 1700. We spent everything on them. Ford Escorts were our lives. This guy built my car.

    So even the climate change sceptics I follow are admitting the heat in the US is unprecedented and its a very clear proof of something shifting outside of normal extreme fluctuations. But strangely theres tumbleweeds from the media, in fact theyve gone very quiet. The actual science continues...
