    That was down to poor maintenance and a borderline cooling system capability. Regularly flushed out they were generally OK.

    My Granada used to overheat too. Neither car was wonderful, but then few cars of the time were.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    When I was in primary school one of the kid's mothers would pick him up in a white Stag. She'd wear sunglasses and a headscarf. We used to think she was a film star.

    It's a regular thing to put modern rads with better heat exchange values into classic cars, along with decent electric fans. And not just on Stags.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    As for Stevie-boy, he's a naughty chappie with a bad habit of, erm, 'inadvertently missing' posts of mine where I've gone into some detail, in order to clarify matters on a particular subject!



    Marco.
    I'm sorry, what was the question?

    Barry's gripe, while justified, wasn't relevant to this. I hadn't ignored your post mate, I just hadn't intended to reply, as apart from the story of Del's restaurant meltdown, didn't tell me anything I didn't already know.

    The nuts 'n' bolts of it is that you have quite specific tastes whereas I have gotten to an age where anyone that doesn't look like Waynetta Slob will do. And I actually like tattoos on women (when done well). Body art I would call it, and a long way from having ACAB or MUFC tattooed onto their knuckles

    It's a good thing that we all have different tastes otherwise you might have no one, because they would all be chasing me
    I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

    T/T: Inspire Monarch, X200 tonearm, Ortofon Quintet Blue. Phono: Project Tube Box CD: Marantz CD6006 (UK Edition); Amp: Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated.
    Speakers: Zu Omen Def, REL T9i subwoofer. Cables: Atlas Equator interconnects, Atlas Hyper 3.0 speaker cables

    T'other system:
    Echo Dot, Amptastic Mini One,Arcam A75 integrated, Celestion 5's, BK XLS-200 DF

    A/V:
    LG 55" OLED, Panasonic Blu Ray, Sony a/v amp, MA Radius speakers, REL Storm sub

    Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.
