Although it looks rough that building is actually an occupied house. The owner is taking a bit of a risk leaving it in that condition.


As it happens I have been considering spinners but only on aesthetic grounds. The spanner that lives under the bonnet (and I assume came with the car) has an arm that is barely longer than a spinner would be so, as you can chose where to position it, I'd say it had less chance of bodywork damage.



Great clip. That very first documentary Fred Dibnah Steeplejack was made in 1978 and won a Bafta. I recorded the repeat a year later and still have the tape. As far as I know it has never been on TV since or released on video (in fact that YouTube upload may possibly be from my tape).



For the next few days I hope I don't find out!

Hey.... that looks just like my car... nice... too bad about the flat.

That roof damage may have been caused by a high sided vehicle squeezing past something big coming the other way. The damage is limited to the bottom couple of rows and there's no guttering.

I'll bet Boshly had passed through there in his Rumble Bee pickup

Ian, a great photo that could be captioned 'a situation that rapidly got worse'.

Glad it turned out well and the fact you ended up having tea with the locals speaks volumes about how instant the Morgan creates rapport.

Love the H&S clip.

Also considering Spinners.

That's a good point it could well have been a passing lorry, the road is quite narrow there.

I'm used to strangers coming up and talking to me about my car but the effect is definitely magnified when you've broken down. Hardly a driver went past without an offer of help.
