Such a pretty face.

How rusty is rusty though? Also we still don't know what model it is.

Nothing wrong with an unmolested Starlet mate.

Its the angle of the accelerator pedal that was really awkward on long trips. Might be just me.

No hand throttle?

Are stiffer valve springs a valid option?

Go on @yoeddynz, you know you want to.

Pretty sure December 1951 is the cutoff for accurate speedo for a wof.

+1 for Scotty. He made a new speedo cable for my Wolseley many years ago. Very good service and not crazily expensive either as I recall.

You drove that thing from Kamo to Maungatapere and didn't get caught? Did you sneak out the back way or what?

I did give it a spray with CRC 5.56 in the first instance. Will give it a further soaking and warm it up a bit then see how I go. 

Does anyone have any good ideas for freeing up a stuck spark plug in an aluminium head please? Went to check the plugs on my Civic and three came out easily but the other one resisted the application of moderate force. Didn't wale on it really hard as not keen to risk breaking it or stripping threads. The three plugs I did get out were better than expected given the mileage and operating conditions of the engine (lots of short runs and almost never getting warmed up properly) but would like to replace them all anyway.

Marinas are actually not terrible. I'd have one as a daily.

Was it @ajg193?

Are those things any good? I've always dismissed them as too weird looking.

How could they be anything else but Millie, Molly, and Mandy?

56mpg. How is this even possible?

Pretty sure there was a large discussion about this on RetroRides recently @yoeddynz. Might be worth a look.

Allegedly this truck still has the original tyres. Must be hard as hell by now.

Saw that earlier. Great art work. 

I thought similar things. Been looking at 80 and 100 cc scoots on the tard and tempted to push my luck.

Question for those who've done these trips before. What're the odds of getting caught riding on the wrong class of licence when travelling in a large group? Kind of keen to have a go.

Nothing wrong with a 214 Bedford six mate. 30mph all day long and 10mpg.

Is it possible to cert a scratch built motorcycle? 

Why would you do that if you had the choice to put it somewhere else which it seems Flash does?

You wouldn't consider a nice old Citroen?
