As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Welcome to the madhouse. Back to building now you've got the classic TT out of the way! :)

There are a couple of posts about pictures. We all used to use Photobucket until their costs become unreasonable. There are a couple of other hosting sites people are using, one of which is Flickr, I can't remember the other offhand. :)
 
Welcome to the site, Stu.
A guy near me has a Walter Wolf Special with Jolly pipes.
Haven't seen the bike this summer but i remember the lovely racket it makes when up in the revs.
Looking forward to the hot rod Kat build.
 
Not got anything done today been polishing alloy casings from a series 3 lambretta but have some pics off some bits im using
