I picked it up on eBay for a fraction of the new price (but still more than the price of a good project car). It would be rather handy for some of your current projects, but is inconveniently located.

It surely would be Mike but yes, rather too far away I fear! I guess it's on the other side of the world...

This is what we used in the garage in Brum in the late fifties, early sixties, our boss was a forward looking man and was probably one of the first in the country to buy one of these and have his mechanics trained to use it on every service.

Re: Picture(s) of the day..
Chris (White Exec) in one of his posts on the electric vehicles etc thread mentioned that the UK had 4 "Pumped Storage" Power Stations.

Well today's picture of the day from Geograph features the upper reservoir for Ffestiniog Power Station, the smaller of the 2 Welsh Sites
The Dam itself is quite photogenic

Re: Picture(s) of the day..
Look forward to it Jim! Not a great photography day in Northumberland today. We had thunder and lightning and snowstorms all at the same time. Can't recall that sort of thing happening before. Dramatic and atmospheric, but being soaked to the skin took away a little bit of the enjoyment!

Re: Picture(s) of the day..
Sorry to hear that Jim. Don't think the Groundhogs track "Cherry Red" I posted up on the PE Jukebox will be much help.
Maybe the
Pickled Egg Jukebox-Laid back sounds
would be more soothing
and a recommendation from a friend who reckons Beethoven's Sixth helps hm out on his bad days.
Hope you are back onto good days soon

That scene from Soylent Green changed the way I hear that piece of Beethoven for ever.
