I'd like to build a stitch and glue kayak in my garage this spring. In preparation, I'd like to build a small scale model or two using stitch and glue plans and processes in order to familiarize myself with this construction method - and to hopefully make some of my mistakes at a smaller scale as well.

Does anyone know of any resources (web sites, books, suggested materials...) or have any experience in doing this? I saw one mention on the web of model building as a first step to building a full scale kayak, but now I can't find the web page.

I have ordered a show plate for my husband's work van... are they illegal?? I have not changed the font of the number plate at all, just got a football badge to the left, and the background is the england flag....

Is he allowed to change these show plates for his original plates? Will he get points or a fine if he uses them??

Help!

Hey guys,
Had a relative whose about to search for an SUV, and I was wondering when does the Range Rover new bodystyle come out. I know it came out back in 2003, but when is the new style probably going to come out.

Thanks

I have a 97 Chevy Cavalier that has been giving me trouble for about a month. On random occasion I will go to start it and turn the key and no sound at all. The radio and lights come on and everything but no sound from the engine. Usually around 30 minutes to a few hours later it starts right up. I took it to a shop and told them to look at the clutch sensor (it is a 5 speed manual) and basically they couldn't figure it out, but said I would need a new battery... so I went ahead and did that. Basically after spending $300 bucks and not getting any closer to a solution it did it again the other night... but this time I kept at it and finally it gave it and made noise and turned over...

Any ideas on what it might be? I really don't want to take it to another shop and not get any answers... and I am sick of it being unreliable.

i JUST bought a car. i received the title in the mail assuming it was my copy but i got a call from the car loan company telling me they mistakenly applied for the title in my name rather than their name. so the car's title is officially made out to me. they want me to bring the title by the office so they can fix the problem......
i have five years to pay on this car....
am i a bad person just for thinking of being evil.....?

i desperately need a master cyl (or rebuild kit) for my bike. the rebuild kit would be preferred, but here in the philippines are impossible to get. does anyone know a surplus parts supplier here? or does anyone have a second hand (or new) master cylinder to suit? (eg: xs350-650, cb400-750, even a srx350-600 should fit).
thanks for any info!!!!

The vehicle has 150,000 miles on it. It is a V6 coupe, black, with leather interior, power seats, rear defrost, CD player, pretty much fully loaded minus a sunroof. Is this a good deal or should i keep shopping around? I know the car has to get the water pump and belt changed every 100000k mark, and i don't know if this one has. Thanks.

What should I say to the adjuster? The other driver now claims that he never hit my car and that the damage on my car was "already there." My car sustained $575 damage. His sustained none. Should I tell the adjuster that I am prepared to take the other driver to small claims court?

Tonight my "check gauges" light came on. The volt meter gauge pegged over to the far left and the engine began to overheat. I was able to get it home but I havent had a chance to look at it as it was in the middle of the night. I did pop the hood and the motor was wet and there was quite a bit of steam coming out. I also noticed that there was green coolant splattered on the engine and under the car. The final thing I noticed was that the oil pressure gauge went to L. The car just hit 60K miles

We're PCSing and have to take our own vehicle. We need a car rooftop carrier to put our clothes in. We have a Toyota Sienna minivan. Where would we get a reasonably priced one? I'd like to have a hard one, but the soft-sided would be fine, too.
