Toys you did not know you needed before...

I used to be able to stand in the engine bay of my mk2 cortina to do the tappets and gap my plugs and points.
Now I have one with a black plastic box in the engine bay with a oil dipstick ,that’s all I can see.
Still got my tools though.

My old Mk2 had a V6 in it... Making it even easier to adjust the tappets...

Had one of those as well. The Sparktune measures dwell angle, contact breaker points condition, DC voltage, etc.

My age and memory for the names

Newer gadgets - finally got round to buying a Bluetooth adapter so I can listen to my bedside internet radio through the soundbar for the TV. Why did I not do that ages ago?

A Karcher Window Vacuum ................................ absolutely superb.
Oh, and a few Bruce & Walker fishing rods, including a couple of MKIV carp rods, and a bucket of Mitchell 300's, 410's and Matches.


Note t self : Sell fishing tackle!

Know what you mean Jim. Had to check what it said on the boxes before responding

In order for me to check what it says on the boxes I would probably need an hour in the shed just to get to them. Like you though the meter still gets use as a multimeter.
I still like the analogue ones as the digital ones go a bit skewy when the battery is a bit old.
