And I use the non alcohol high test in my 3 Triumphs, I bet it will be around 6$ a gallon by the time winter is over. I am guessing your taxes are a bit higher than here in the US. But good news on the brew front. A? 16oz draft at my local American Legion is still $2! And when we visit Florida, a 16oz draft is 1.50! But at the local pubs the craft brews range from 5 to 8$ a 16oz draft. Soon the price we pay for gas will rise ad we pump.

Am about to get my 'Longdoor' TR2 painted, and need advice about under the bonnet (hood in USA) Where the front guards/fenders are bolted onto the inner guards from the scuttle/firewall forward to the front apron, the heads of the bolts (6 each side) and washer underneath are visible. Anyone know for sure if they were just painted in the body colour along with everything else, or unpainted & cadmium plated? I assume they were painted, and imagine that once the car is running again & I have done a few miles and everything has settled I will need to go round all those bolts and check if they need tightening again. If I do need to tighten them then I will probably damage the paint on the hex sides of the bolts unless there is some trick way to protect them when I put the socket onto them? All thoughts / suggestions gratefully accepted.
