THE POWER OF PROPER PAPER!
Oct 20th
As a paid-up fan and user I was delighted to hear that Ordnance Survey’s (OS) iconic road map series OS Road have been relaunched after a seven-year hiatus. The eight map sheets, covering the whole of Great Britain, are back by popular demand and with a new twist that is aimed at helping tourists see even more of Britain.
For the first time the road maps, which also have a new look and design to their predecessors, will show designated beaches and National Parks visitor centres. They are also OS’s first maps to include the appearance of the Queensferry Crossing.

2CV SPECIALIST PRODUCES NEW KIT
Oct 20th
When my inbox pinged this week bringing me details of Citroën 2CV specialist and manufacturer of the new Drewgard Roadster, I noted the name of the man behind the project, Andrew Gardner, which well and truly got the Hole grey matter whirring!
Then I remembered. I’d last met Andrew some 18-years ago when produced the CeeVee Sport, his original sportscar design using the Gallic stalwart for donor purposes, which although ultimately remained stillborn I always thought it had promise.
The intervening years (where does time go?) has seen Andrew develop and grow his business specialising in all things related to the 2CV. More >

NUT REMOVAL WITH BITE
Oct 20th
The new version of the Mini-Ductor®, the Venom™, is available NOW for UK orders.
As with its predecessor the Mini-Ductor® II, Venom™ generates Invisible Heat® to release ferrous and some non-ferrous metals from corrosion and thread lock compounds without the dangers of open flames and up to 90 per cent faster. For example, ¾in nuts are turned red hot in less than 15-seconds.
“Venom™ is a new evolution of the Mini-Ductor® series, which has been the leading hand-held induction heater on the market since it was launched in 2004,” said Tom Gough, President of Induction Innovations.
“Venom’s feature set allows users to repair More >

A lot of older cars never had the option of in-built reversing lights and this means that they didn’t have the facility to have a gearbox ‘switch’. The latest new product from Better Car Lighting could well sort this issue out for you.
The easy-to-fit kit provides a neat and convenient solution with a neat button fitted to control it. A press of the button will turn on a pair of high-power LED reversing lights for around 30-seconds. A longer period can be activated. All you have to do is press the button again!
The lights are designed to be virtually invisible More >
MRS OVERALL

Dickies Workwear has added to their Every Day range with two new coveralls: The FR24/7 and the FR24/7TP – probably the best value overalls of their type on the market.
Both offer protection against heat and flame, and are specially designed with antistatic fibre to guard against electrostatic discharge. Radio/gas detector loops add another layer of safety checking. They are suitable for use by welders and in offshore environments and chemical plants.
The FR24/7TP has Nordic-style reflective tape around the shoulders, arms and legs, which ensures enhanced visibility while offering flame retardant technology, making this a garment that offers safety and security at work.

DON’T FEAR THIS INJECTION
Oct 20th
Webcon has been a stockist of genuine Italian Magneti Marelli products for over 30-years, and holds a large range of their ignition and fuel injection products in stock.
One of the parts is the superb Weber PICO range of fuel injectors, available in a variety of flow rates up to 480cc/m. These have become the performance industry standard amongst engine tuners.
There are, however, many cheap copies on the market that have a poor reliability record, some of which have been known to fail in the open position, thereby filling cylinders with fuel to disastrous ends.

COOL – JUST COOL
Oct 14th
I like stuff that is a bit different and outside the square and I’ve always been a fan of the underdog, which I guess all adds up to why I’ve been in love with kit and specialist cars all of my life!
I’m also very impressed with the work of Mike ‘Harri’ Harrison who creates stunning works of sculptural and functional art primarily out of steel, with all pieces constructed from combinations of recycled, re-used and new materials.
A favourite of Harri’s is to use automotive components in unexpected ways, which is why his stuff really strikes a chord with me. Many of these More >
