I predict if they go too far they'll starve to death as all the shops are closed.

I avoid Carrefour, their pumps never accept my cards.

Since there is fuck all else required to do at the moment, I bought this a bit.

I haven't done a bloody thing to the car since we returned from France, except hooning it forth and back to Brum.
However, since I'm sick and tired to make one half arsed carby out of three rubbish ones, I decided to treat it to a new one. I think it's only fair considering it will soon be the only car I'm using.

I'll probably treat it to a nice, shiny bonnet too one of these days.

You'll soon be able to make one half-arsed carb out of four rubbish ones...

I found two tiny pin holes corroded into the R16 radiator cap, which finally explains the slight but constant coolant loss. If it weren't for the new carby, which necessitated another bleeding ritual, I'd have never spotted them.
Anyway, a new rad cap is on its way from Spain, the only place left that sells them for something resembling sane money. Meanwhile I took the opportunity to flush the cooling system yet again and another half pound of my cylinder liners came out.

I hope you're going to fit a fuel filter to this. That virginal Solex cannot and must not be bunged up with shite from the tank. Modern fuel is bad enough without shit'n'grit from underground fuel tanks.
