Given that very tall gentlemen generally have rather large feet was accidentally mashing two pedals at the same time ever an issue for you? I found the pedals in a Fiat 850 Sport to be too small and close together for comfort. Is the X1/9 similarly handicapped?

Is it a cheezel?

Just showed my daughter your pics for the interior. I think she likes it. She said it's kind of old-timey.

Pretty sure all my ADO16s have had plastic tanks. Something older perhaps?

Hope you managed to dodge the checkpoint on your way home @azzurro.

Washed the Pulsar. Almost organised now.

What's the format? BYO drinks and something to share for the meal?

It appears to have gone somewhere else.

That's not dodgy bodgery, it's an engineered solution.

Keen. Be nice to meet a few other members for sharns etc.

Glad to see Bellets are not yet extinct. My dad bought one new in 1970 and it was our only car for ten years.

I have had to replace brake hoses for a wof on a car that was only 25 years old due to rubber perishing. If your Starlet hoses are original they might be living on borrowed time.

Chances of getting caught Nick?

Good on you Paul. I remember riding in it with you at Hanmeet. Pleased to see it finished.

Nuffield/Leyland diesel tractor four cylinder might be a valid option if wanting to keep it kind of original or at least as an example of what might have been. The 3.8 as found in Leyland 384 or the 3.4 as found in Leyland 344. Not sure of Nuffield models but fairly sure most parts were interchangeable as those first Leylands were pretty much a Nuffield with different bodywork.

All I know about Jag V12s is that they sound magnificent when pulling hard. Was working up Highway 8 one time and an older couple in an XJS vert went through our site. As they passed our end of works sign the old geezer absolutely nailed the gas. Such a sweet sound.

Many cool projects on this forum would appear to make little sense. For many of us that's a large part of the appeal.

Wolseley Hornet?

Are there not anti-foaming additives available nowadays?

No, I've always used clean engine oil for that. I did run waste oil from a diesel tractor in a BMC A series for several months though. It was burning so much oil I figured it didn't matter.

I've always worked on the assumption that any oil is better than no oil.

Have you considered painting the nuts different colours for front and rear to make it obvious which is which?

Say hi to Biggles and Wendy at Waikaia Pub on the way through.

Looks like the sort of thing one would expect to see on a light weight trailer intended for low speed use behind a farm vehicle.
