    T Williams Superslim

    These were stores stock during my 1970's steelworks days. Get a chit from the foreman and off to central stores. You could and did belt seven shades out of these. They'd just laugh and come back for more. Not pretty or accurate but did a job.

    Polishing a Turd and I f***ed up, Recommendations?

    Appears that you have caught the three culprits on camera. That is just a touch of levity, good they will help. My eldest washed my car just once, and under sufferance. It was worse than when he started the task. Washed it myself later.

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Don't mind using a footpump when I check my car tyres. Have car's plug in type and the new footpumps are very flimsy. Last week I bought an old Desmo that didn't work. Today I turned the leather washer inside out and it works fine until I can find a replacement of sorts.
