By the way, I bought a nice BIG new screwdriver and some WD40 yesterday
and now I've been able to open up my YaQin MC-10K.

Christ, for 330 quid it's a LOT of amp for anyone's money!

I need to fix one set of cathode resistors properly. I should be
getting a load from Rapid Electronics tomorrow, and the seller is also
sending me some new resistors and output valve(s).

I intend to take an extensive set of pictures of the innards from
various angles, and put them up on my website.

I can't believe I got so much amp for 330 quid all in! I'm agog! And
I like the sound, too!

The mains xformer in it is HUGE!

But that's not the one that matters....................

******** to you. It's common (or was) slang - at least in some parts of

Isn't the net polite eh?, would people speak to each other in a pub like
that?.

I would. Perhaps you are less convicted of your opinions?

And to think "how" long ago was it we came down from the trees?.....

A bit like my amp.

But one I like listening to...

Jeez - you must have bought a load of **** cars


No, only the one Audi.... ;-)

Here's an early scan from a 35mm slide (pre digital cameras) of 3 of the 5
cars I had at the time (my record for my 'own' cars at any one time - I've
probably 'owned' 2 dozen cars at a single time, but who fekkin' cares about
cars and who was counting anyway?)

http://www.apah69.dsl.pipex.com/keith_g/show/Cars01.jpg

See if you can identify *any* of them - the 'red' car was featured in a
magazine as it was the only one in the country at the time (in red, that is
and the Reg. No. was KG6545.... ;-)

(Ignore the vans and crap next door - it was a smallholding and the bloke
next door was trying to be a farmer and almost succeeding....)


- I'm only on
thirty-two between me and SWMBO.


You're not trying hard enough!

Ah, I'm on my fourth one of those now, and the memsahib's thinking
about buying another one. 'Course, I'd rather she bought a Honda for
me to play with, but them's the breaks!

It's an RX7 Turbo II, but I wouldn't have thought it was unique. The
middle one looks like an old Landy of some sort, but I'm not sure
about the little one hiding behind it. Could be an old Daihatsu
FourTrak, or an early Suzy.

(Ignore the vans and crap next door - it was a smallholding and the bloke

But the Allegro is a classic of British engineering!

I got as far as RX7, but there's no way I would have known it was a II.

The revered Rustin Allaggro. I once had to pump three gallons of water
out of the petrol tank of one of those. To this day, I have no idea how
it got there. I was running a mobile disco using a 1750 Austin Maxi as a
'van' about then (1983?). It was a horrible piece of junk, but it just
wouldn't die, despite all my friends learning to drive in it.

Correct, but it was the first and only red one in the country at the time -
I had to wait a few days for it while it was photographed for a book.

Mercedes G-Wagen, built by Puch and available for a lot less money in
Germany if you could live without a handfull of Mercedes badges. Big
squidgy, tarty thing that turned heads in SW6 (frequently) but had
tremendous grunt and 2 diff locks so could actually go places if it needed
to.....


about the little one hiding behind it. Could be an old Daihatsu

Early Suzuki (pre Santana) - these vehicles are about the C and D reg mark -
I could go a number of days without seeing another 4 x 4 that wasn't a Land
Rover or Range Rover

In other words, if not the 'originator' of the current 4 x 4 trend, I was
one of the very first...!!! ;-)


But the Allegro is a classic of British engineering!


Had one as a company car (not my company) - it was the '3 stripe' version
and went like a rocket!


Funny, she says I'm extremely trying........


Ooh, I wonder why.....???

I'm surprised to hear that - I always thought the Maxi was ****e-looking but
quite 'useable'.

There used to be a load of speed bumps in this road (on an Industrial
Estate, near the Bedford Truck factory in Dunstable) which were very big -
an 'up and over you go' kinda thing. However, if you floored this (brand
new) Maxi and took them all at DEAD ON 60 (I think it was) the car stayed
level and steady as a rock and the speed bumps just went 'whadap, whadap,
whadap' underneath!!

Great crack - scared any passengers to death and got you past dozens of
other cars doing the 'rock and roll' thing! :-)

(Another company car, you see.... ;-)

You mean the trend for driving 4x4's that look the part but won't even cross
a muddy field? ;-)

Allegro Equipe by the sound of it - had an extra carb over the standard
model
