judiths handyman created a new topic ' MGF by Ian Adcock' in the forum. yesterday

While on holiday overseas this year I found a copy of the book MGF by Ian Adcock in a second hand shop.
I think it makes a good historical read.
Anyway, I note a couple of cheap copies are available through e.bay for anyone interested.

Its not just the UK where they don't give a toss if they can get away with it then.
I recall local studies on sulphur fall out showing high pollution figures blamed on old petrol vehicles.
When they closed the local steel plant the readings plummeted, just a coincidence apparently.
Personally I would rather the steelworks was still open, maybe fitted with a sulphur scrubber though.

Once you have cleaned and sorted it, I use one of these,

my car sits outside as an older more vulnerable model has the only garage in my possession
It works well, is easy to take on and off and folds into a small square zip up case it comes with.
On very wet days moisture will be captured on the inside of the rear screen, but my TF is my daily driver, so a quick wipe usually sorts it.
Most importantly, the wind has not yet blown it off, the elasticated straps are very good.

Gin and French ? Blimey, happy days.
The coanda unit sucks of course, it can be used to remove petrol vapours that may remain, quite safely, unlike the gin and french which can in the wrong doses be very dangerous indeed.
