Digging the scene with the : Former rally driver and journalist "Uncle" YS Khong from advises young how to save ( even though Malaysia has its own oil reserves and refineries, its still affected by in the )

You can also hear English or in this video 😁

The petrol stations in suburban Malaysia are larger and bigger than UK, and even have small restaurant areas with proper tables (my cousin said the food at them is very good, it is better than you would get here in Blighty)

    One article from *1980* mentions developments in - and even dual-clutch - and that AP (Automotive Products, a British company which already made an innovative 4 speed auto 'box for the and other smaller ) was developing a 6 speed model.

    Nothing much came of this development until almost 25 years later when and (formed from a company set up by AP in early 20th century!) picked up development and put the 'box in mass production in 2003 with the (my own car has a newer version of this 'box!)

    Artlcle from 1980 about automatic transmission developments in cars, it mentions dual clutch transmissions (which only went into mass production much later in 2003)

      Snagged complete set of of Marshall Cavendish and partwork "On The Road" from 1978-1981 (in 10 binders)

      If you are you may remember your dad buying at least some of these if he was into (although to get the entire partwork would have cost about £300 (2026 money) in total, so relatively few people actually got whole set of 140)

      These were sold not only in but across countries where folk drive on the left, one cool thing is all units are first (with Imperial equivalents added afterwards)

      Fair play to the previous owner, it looks like they did definitely make use of the section on changing in engine 😁

      Open binder of set of On The Road magazines, showing advert for a Draper trolley jack and axle stands (these are still available today, except Draper switched to blue rather than orange for their tools). Also front cover showing an article on servicing the classic Mini

      "Advanced Mechanic" section on how to replace head gasket on British Leyland engine, it is quite oil/grease stained and the torque values are underlined (so the owner of these magazines must have done this job)

                                          if high street is "thriving" to the point folk are in dangerous places and arguing with one another in the street, surely its a sign its reached capacity and it wouldn't be a big issue if some folk do their shopping online instead, or if they have then just drive to Chelmsford, or if they actually live in the town consider another form of ?

                                          I had a look myself and I suspect a big reason is folk simply being too stubborn/lazy to find the Council car parks and insisting they should be able to park in the middle of the High Street (its not the 1970s any more!)
