Don't remember "Doc" but there was certainly a weekly Jobsworth award.... That's because you're an oldie (unlike nipper Hooli) and remember Cyril Fletcher. Excuse me while I check that the steering box is still attached to my Reliant and I don't have a bracket problem. :lol: I always thou...

Sorry Lyneham. I just had this sent to me today and couldn’t resist… 419AD113-937A-464A-A479-1E66B13B3B7D.jpeg Funnily, the guy from work who sent it to me has an Aldi TT and helped him out with some electrics in the door of his car. He saw my Ghia parked in the garage and was telling me about his M...

Sorry, I haven’t been able to get this out of my head, ever since you started your journey.
I had forgotten it was a young Kramer who was the butler in this!

I’ve a long weekend this weekend. Taking Friday as holiday, Monday is a National holiday (Labor day) and Tuesday the plant is closed. I’ve got big plans including, working on the cooling system on the seven (rad purge and adding an extension tank and checking the function of the thermostat), groutin...

Air-cooled to fire-ignition?

Lyneham, have you been out in yours recently?
My Ghia is set to have the trans fixed mid Sept. I’ve got to say, I’m quite excited by the prospect.

Yeah it's a 1303 and I could live without the wheels but there is a lot to like in this.

Ones as ...

Went to the last local car night at the drive in and maybe the last ever as the owner wants to sell up and retire. Couldn’t move for classic American tin.

What a journey!
If everything had gone to plan, you would have forgotten the trip within a couple of years. Now with your ‘planes, trains and automobiles’ type epic, you will have a good and memorable yarn to tell, for many years to come!

All that said, I’m lucky to live in a land where everything is bigger… And if you think that sausage is big, you should have seen the bag of buns that came with it!

Well you did do the nose… and I weigh more than a duck but maybe not two ducks… At the moment, none of the cars actually work. The Ghia has a broken gearbox (3rd gear is out), the Caterham overheats on anything other than the shortest journey on a cool day and the 912 issue seems to be related to th...
