25% more torque, 15% more power, but nice flat curves, the big 15hp dip at 4500rpm is gone, can see why it is so much more fun to drive. 😀

Was talking to Gordon, and he said you should take inspiration from one of his old ideas.

hello sailor...

Don't believe anything Gordon Murray says in your dreams, he was a dedicated fwd man and he'll be trying to send you up the garden path (backwards).

I'd be keen for next weekend.

Unfortunately I have to fly down to Christchurch this weekend and help sort out Mum's resthome care, and help clean out her house that she sold somewhat faster than expected.

Credit where credit's due, that was @Lord Gruntfuttock 😇

Accessory position, pretty sure my XB was the same, and mum's mk2 Cortina. Seems to be standard on 60s Fords.

A bit much work to be ready for this run, but I need to pretend to be a Project Manager and make a list of jobs to do and put dates on them. German taxi sounds great. Will pm details.

I'm keen, have to cadge a ride off someone. Then you can all badger me until I get the Marina on the road. 😀 (@Kiwibirdman, is your offer to help still on the table?)

Kenworth? I made a White Road Boss back in my teens. Unfortunately I left all the models I had made at my mum's place when I moved cities, and it looks like they all got binned when she moved house (unless they got stashed in the ceiling). Another of life's regrets...

Romantic Getaway The Catlins | Southland, New Zealand

The Taeiri Gorge railway. Albatross colony and Larnochs Castle on the peninsula. If you've got time, head up to Oamaru for Steam Punk HQ and the penguin encounter. Head down to Invercargill for Bill Richardson's truck museum and the bikes at E Hayes hardware store. @RUNAMUCK has just been through the area, check his posts on the spam thread.

Sounds like the old Classic Mini engine movement issue, solved by fitting stiffer mounts and twin steady bars. Helps to stop the diff moving relative to the wheel hubs and the suspension bush compliance effectively pushing the wheels briefly out of alignment.

On my Samsung, i just use the builtin resize in Gallery. Open Gallery, select the photo, tap the pencil icon, tap the ... icon, tap Resize, select the size you want, tap Save, job done. 🙂
