hi

WELL HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL, LETS HOPE NEXT YEAR IS A GOOD YEAR FOR SOME OF US, AT LEAST ME.

 

After this year Chris you certainly deserve a break. Happy Christmas to
you and all the listeners and I hope you all have a good new year.

Merry Christmas and Happy new Year.
Always enjoy your tips and humour. Did two glow plugs in non turbo 306
cos it stopped firing in the cold mornings. Couldn't reach the other
two in the time available. Starts fine like that without all the din it
made before. Does this do any harm with just two.

HAPPY MOTORING IN 2009 WITH ALL (Y)OUR PEUGEOTS.
Well, actually with anything on wheels, no matter how many 1, 2, 3, 4, 5?,
or 6 ;-)

Grtz,

Don't see why it should. Quite possibly the other two were OK anyway, just
like when a plug goes on a petrol engine. As long as it starts alright I
don't see any problem.

 

I am not sure we have many unicyclists contributing to this group ;o)

 

Last week I saw a girl with a monowheel on the street, and it seemed just a
normal thing to do for her...
At least she didn't need much parking space ;-)

And there also are races with motorised unicycles, I haven't seen them yet,
but I guess it's big fun!

But does anyone know a vehicle with 5 wheels?

I guess the old Scammell Scarab mechanical horse would count if you include
articulators. Three wheels on the tractor and two on the trailer.

Cheers Keith I'll just leave it be then and save the other two for a
rainy day.
John.

 

Happy Christmas to one and all. Wishing everyone a prosperous new year,
especially me

 

Thanks to all those who have helped make this group the source of help
and support it has been. Especially to Keith W on Thames.

Or this fantastic invention for parking.

Great invention indeed!!
But I wonder how they manage to keep the boot clean and dry... ;-)

I want one.

There was another clever parking idea years ago called The Sidler, invented
by one Archibald Butterworth. The vehicle would have a mechanical jacking
system on all four wheels similar to that on many London taxis. This
involves a leg descending by each wheel and lifting the car. The Sidler
had a wheel at the end of each leg and these wheels were at right angles to
the road wheels. They were linked mechanically and powered from a friction
drive off of the tyres of the driving wheels. The car would pull up beside
a spot just wide enough to take it, rise up a few inches into the air and
slide sideways into the space.
