    The good thing about Jensen Button winning is that it follows on from Lewis Hamilton's success, showing that we can produce drivers of world championship quality

    Hi Merv,

    well good I was in 3rd for a bit (thought I was in top) and the thing was doing silly speeds !!! :unsure:

    Regards Jim

    Some time ago Top Gear did a piece about how there is always an astra van wanting to overtake you, however it won't be long before the EU limits the top speed of all new vans,

    Hi WD,

    how is this going to be policed ? will it only come to light if you have a tug by the law ? As I do know a few people with horse boxes & 2 of these drive lorries also, So if they were stoped driving a 12 tonne horse box their fine but driving a 12 tonne dust cart and their in the poo. This clause is unfair & all LGV drivers should be made to take the CPC. As my employer is paying for mine I'm not worried about the cost but what is odd a banksman course & a Digi tacho course gets rid of 15 hours !!!

    Regards Jim

    Hi Jim,

    Supposedly the idea of the legislation is to improve the skills of professional drivers and therefore road safety, personally I do think that all professional drivers should undergo the training / retraining irrespective of what they drive as whilst there are some very professional drivers out there, there are also some that leave an awful lot to be desired.

    As someone who has worked in all aspects of the road transport industry for nearly 35 years and has held a cat C+E (old class one) licence for 27 I think I'm qualified to comment.

    Regards

    WD

    PS I think you'll find dust cart drivers may be exempt

    The driver CPC for buses started last September and for lorries it is this September (new drivers only) existing drivers have 5 years to complete the training from the above dates. however it is a vocational requirement, therefore you can pass a HGV test and if all you do is drive your own horsebox, you do not need the cpc,

    What Colour ?

    Posted

    I stripped of the yellow & the springs would need to be chromed as under the yellow powder coat they are base metal so they may take paint better (which also would be cheaper)

    Jim,

    This is how I did mine

    Hi does anyone know where I can get a pattern part seat or a second hand seat for a 1980 yb100.

    I have tried breakers, ebay, and searched all over the web. Please help!

    Rich

    You could try posting on the wanted section of the fizzy website as someone always seems to be stripping a yb down for the engine

    Whats going on with the site?

    I agree with Goff the adverts are a pain, but I understand the need to fund the site and on that basis accept that they are a necessary evil.

    I also agree that some of the signatures and avatars are a bit ott,

    On the positive side I find the site interesting, informative and amusing

    Hi All,

    I've recently bought a non running YG1 and have discovered that the clutch actuating lever (that is inside the crankcase cover is missing)

    The part is discontinued, does anyone have one kicking around that they would be either willing to sell or loan me so I can get something engineered, I would be willing to pay any carriage charges

    regards
