General Discussion Area / Re: Kraft Beers ?

« on: 14 December 2023, 10:20:20 »

Thought Kraft made cheese ? 
Daughter bought me a selection of Craft beers a couple of years ago. Brew Dog iirc.
Found all of them to be hideous. Just tasted like yeast flavoured water with a hint of something Citrus.
The little club Im a Trustee of sells a Nethergate Ale (local brewery) which is very moreish.
If I didnt have to drive there and back, I could happily down several pints of it.

Sunak, Cameron etc... committed Globalists.
 Starmer also and he will be advised by Blair, an arch Globalist.

Even then, I would probably just dribble all over the top of it.

I hate welding and am not very good at it, but I have a Mig welder in the shed, to be used if needs must.
It kept my 190D on the road for a few years, and Ive also found, cut out and replaced a few rusty bits on the Omega.
The worst by far was the spare wheel well. It must have had water sat in it for a long time. I reckon if I hadnt fixed that about five years ago, it would have spread all over the rear of the car by now and finished it off.
Anway - regarding the OP car. I would get quotes for the welding, then have a think about the cost of replacing the Omega and what is actually going to replace it.
Then decide.

My bladder is losing its elasticity with age. I struggle to go through the night now without having to get up and empty it.
Gone are the days of drinking a lot and just ignoring the bladder for hours until I can be arsed to go.
Also takes a long time to empty now - dribble dribble squirt dribble. Schoolboy games of who can piss the highest up a wall are but a very distant memory.

If the rest of the car is good, have the welding done. This place is full of people who havent managed to find a car to tick all the boxes the Omega did.
Several have been trying for years, and spent much £££ trying.

I believe they also hate Jeyes fluid. Might be worth a try.

Probably the lesser of the two evils then.

Not just rallying. Hillclimbs, sprints, you name it. Any excuse to legally go fast.
Why I moved to England all those years ago, I can only put down to youthful stupidity. 

Craigantlet hill climb for example,  was 15 minutes away from me.

The factories also used the M1 for performance testing. Those were the days. 
The 70mph limit didnt apply in Norn Irn until the mid 70,s. Just before I got on the road.
Maybe they knew I was coming. 


Not that I took any notice anyway. No speed cameras or assorted nonsense. If the cops decided to chase you it was a sport.
If they didnt catch you it was fair enough, and they would try again next time.
They did catch me a few times in my teens, which resulted in (iirc) 5 court appearances on 12 charges.
All of the motoring variety I might add.
Never got caught doing anything criminal. My Uncle Sammy ( a lifelong dodgy wee bastard) told me very early " if you cant be good, be careful".

I put e5 in most of the time, but when it got within site of two quid a litre a while back I refused on principle to pay that much for petrol.  A few tanks of e10 isnt going to do any harm.

Omega General Help / Re: Did the roof aerial change places with the DBW?

« on: 09 December 2023, 23:07:27 »

Is the radio aerial always in the rear screen on both saloons and estates?
AIUI there's a radio antenna amplifier. Where is it?

Under the rear parcel shelf on the saloon.
