Talking of Austin/Morris (BLMC/British Leyland, or whatever other re-incarnation they used), I seem to recall some of the Lotus used their door handles and TVR their rear light clusters, no doubt a lot more as well! Didn't some Ford engines go in some of the Lotus to, Ford engines certainly found their way into some Noble cars, actually a lot, anyway now it's me who's going on a nostalgic meander!

It's rather difficult to actually say where Renault/Nissan/Dacia/etc stop and start these days, they all use the same parts wherever possible (even if they may have a different part number) and keep as much as possible common to all of them. Nothing new in that, all car manufacturers do the same, several Fiat parts on a Ferrari! Just the same, I'm not convinced any of the X-Trail model variants chassis (they don't actually have a chassis in the conventional sense anyway) was used for the Duster, (I could be wrong), the X-Trails are all bigger, the Duster does seem pretty good VFM b

It's another world for us, the thought of buying ammo/guns from a Supermarket...and we pay more for our ammo as well!

Crumbs, it's bigger inside Downing Street than I thought!

Daft thing was he was ok, he had one of his rimfires, but I deliberately took a different calibre rimfire and a few centrefires, so I could do nothing but follow him around, and get wet I remember, it was one of those misty days with fine rain that simply soaks you. We gave up early with nothing to our name, just one of those days you right off but never forget!

Lots, but one I'll never forget. Long drive for me, nearly 50 miles to pick up my lad, then off to one of his shoots another 20 miles away, only to open the boot and find all the guns but the ammo box which also contained all the rifle Bolts was still back at my house!

I've never seen Boris as PM material, but look at the other option in the election, it was never about best man for the job, simply least bad. Could you even begin to imagine Jeremy Corbyn as PM and Keir Starmer is simply a weasel without an original idea to his name. The country is in a right state politically, but without Boris we would almost certainly still be a state in the Federal Republic of Europe. Think of the alternatives, who could/would lead the Conservatives or the country if he was gone, I don't see any decent political options anywhere with any party!!!!

I've got the Bats albums on memory stick in the car, always good for a blast! He was a character with some big ups and downs in his life but he made an impact!

Don't know about the diesel variants but the 1.0 Petrol is a disaster. Massive engine failures all over the place (commonly resulting in a new engine) and hundreds of complaints to the SMMT. Also watch out for the electronic steering racks, another common failure, and a repair bill from Ford approaching £2K

Mine was on the doorstep when I got home tonight, it really did look like a drug seizure! Very happy, many thanks!

There you go, that's pretty much all new to me, and I guess most people in the UK! Honestly though the way you guys are over there's I'm surprised they didn't take off much in the UK or at least someone over there copy them.........Maybe licencing, we can't just swap calibres/barrels about, we need a ticket for each. Then again it seems things have moved on your part of the world as well if they have ceased production. If it works for you and you want one that's all that matters, there is a lot of emotion in shooting, and why not?!

Not familiar with these either, not sure I've ever seen one...... Dare I ask, what is the attraction?????????
-
I've never had any doubt he is "guilty". Wouldn't you given the chance looking at pictures back then....... not sure about now though! Anyway, the whole situation is fascinating, it's great media stuff, she/he will probably make a lot more money with the film rights as well when its all over! There's a lot of mileage in this yet!!!
-
Depending on your perception an awful lot of newer/top end PCP, look tactical!?!?! Is it tactical, or is it simply design development????????????? There has been talk of banning Tactical look guns for several years, but I have no idea how it could be defined! A lot of rimfire guns are also made to look Tactical/Military these days, even to the extent of oversize magazines to enhance the look, that concerns me more than Air rifles because they are deliberately made to look like some sort of Arnold Schwarzenegger or Rambo tool.

I agree, I would have thought a device such as this should be waterproof, I would naturally have thought it was! In honesty I find that rather disappointing/strange as well! I wonder what the costs would be of waterproofing it at manufacture and if sales would increase if they did???
-
Another FAC or SGC owner is always a good idea, obviously the Police can't argue they aren't of good character. Your boss at work ,etc.!!! Apparently 7 Police regions are NOT issuing NEW grants at the moment according to the BASC so keep your fingers crossed!

I'd be very pleased of the Beaver of Bolton gamekeeper tweed vest/gilet it’s 44” ( large ) The hole isn't an issue at all for me, MANY THANKS!

I used my mouth/hands/grass for years with good success, then I was out on one site, freezing cold and sheltering from the atrocious weather in an abandoned shipping container. I tried calling but my throat/lips were that cold and my fingers freezing I simply couldn't call, so decided to invest in one of these. That must have been over 10 years ago and it's still going strong, still call by hand/mouth a lot just the same, but overall I'm happy with success rate. I don't feel I'm missing out over the apparent abundance of various electronic calls in the market today, but pe

Now and again at Bisley, I don't have the right tools but a few of the guys have Winchesters and similar so we have a pop now and again. My eyes are not really up to the open sights these days so I would struggle to get your result! -
Yep, 9 years, nearly 10 years on! Seems to have been a few ancient threads regenerated recently!

We've all done it...tomorrow is another day! (I've given up with the coloured filters, been using the clear/white for donkeys years now, seem to work fine, although the dimmer is useful, but then, so is night vision!)

Hope it's a good one for all and the BIG CAT debate is resolved!
-
That could be the answer!!! I had this issue when I was doing some work on my Deben lamps and battery connections, seems only Deben sell the same fittings, I found some close (as in this thread) and ended up rewiring the whole thing, bit of a pain really!

Exactly what I was going to say!!! Scale wise that isn't even close to a BIG cat!
