Greetings one and all, I have a somewhat unique restored historic military vehicle. It has been modified to be road-legal. I have had it insured through the same company for three years(progressive). I just found out yesterday that they have cancelled the policy. I won't go into the ridiculous...

I have just got a 1936 Austin 10. I have looked at the engine and the plugs were not put back in at least 10 years ago (just sitting on the holes). I guess that the inside is now as rusty as the outside and will not turn at all by the handle or gently rocking in gear. I will have to take the head...
