Re: What did you do today?

Finally thought I should pull my finger out and see if I can work out why the Caterham is overheating. Quite a common problem with them. So took the bodywork off and stared by putting an exhaust wrap on. IMG_3623.jpeg IMG_3624.jpeg Even though I wore gloves, I now have fiberglass in my fingers and a...

Re: Monkey see, Monkey go - To Transylvania

Ok, I’ll ask the question… what on earth, was the hole with the huge wooden spider looking thing coming out of it?

Are you videoing any of the ride? Would be cool to watch on YouTube. :)

Re: Looking at a car, insurance history question... Cat C

I looked at a fairly recent kit car made on the 2CV chassis not long ago. From what I remember, a new chassis costs about the same as a slap up meal for the family followed by a trip to the pub with Paul afterwards. What do the connecting rods do, next to the shock absorbers on the front and back (o...

Re: Cars For Sale on the Roadside (not eBay)

I’m not sure if I have successfully transferred my addiction or if he’s just playing to his old Dad, but young Broccoli sent me this picture today. He must be out in the neighborhood on his bike!

Re: EBay Finds

Do it! Naturally I guess it'd be a LS swap... Does no title make it an issue to get on the road? Presumably an issue if exported too. Presumably the British Standard tag suggests it's been exported from the UK. (Maybe nicked too?) The area in the engine bay is so small (narrow) that fitting more th...

Re: EBay Finds

I’m fairly sure I posted about this, when it was on eBay around a year ago. Sold for $750 and was local. How I kicked myself afterwards for not buying it. F0F1590B-6F0A-4CC6-BC2B-FC0C85157706.jpeg Now I have another chance: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/305723052028470/?ref=search&re...

Re: What did you do today?

I’ve had days like that. Had a Cal look beetle with no bumpers back in the 80s. Reversing out of a parking spot in a multistory car park, I tweaked the front wing as I swung around to give someone waiting the space. It wouldn’t have been so bad, but the wing deformed and scraped itself all the more....

Re: EBay Finds

Couldn’t we have a whip round, return it to the government as they were all supposed to be and set it alight just as we hand it over?
