    old car snaps

    Didn't have that problem but wasn't keen on the steering (worm & peg?) - not nearly as positive as rack & pinion. Main probs were king pins and bushes, and the seals under the wet liners which compressed and let water into the cylinders. There was noticable piston slap when cold and when I had...

    old car snaps

    My dad bought this1954 Triumph Renown around 1959. Built by Mulliners on a Standard Vanguard chassis with a 2 litre engine it was quite comfortable but heavy to drive having no power steering. Dad sadly died in 1961 but I ran the car for a couple of years. However as I was saving up to get...

    old car snaps

    Hi Lyn. Yes, grandmother in the doorway and her sister standing by the car. No idea who the other lady is and I can't identify the three men either although I suspect (hope!!!) they were the respective husbands. So sad that so many photos have no details on the back. I have a leather bound...

    Avast has an uninstall utility https://www.avast.com/en-gb/uninstall-utility which should get rid of the remains of Avast. Or maybe Cleaner.

    HARRY HARRINGTON BURIAL

    I've found a Pont-Yr-Ychain Farm which is possibly the one (Welsh Spelling did seem to vary). Follow https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Map/343500/213500/10/101111 and move up to where Llanvihangel-Ystern-Llewern is printed in upper case. The farm is just under the LL of Llanfihangel. John P.S.
