Re: Too much technology?
I tell you why they can take ABS and shove it up their arse - Fucking MOT-failing warning lights on my £300 Fiesta which do not affect the safety of the car in any way (it has far better anchors than anything else I drive) but mean that I have to play light roulette when booking my MOT. Yes, I have ...

Re: Too much technology?
Anything that over-rides vehicle control by the driver can get in the sea. I never really came across anything that interfered with my "job" at the wheel until I bought my T25. Using all the available "power" to get up a hill with a caravan came completely unstuck when it cut out...

Re: Squire's voitures
With the Humber I replaced the internal windscreen surround and did a little detailing on the chrome screws, taking the tarnishing off with very fine wet or dry paper. IMG_5661.JPG That is the appeal of cars held together with screws and bolts - a few minutes fettling always shows some improvement.

Re: What did you do today?
Greased the Cowley this morning. Only one of the 11 nipples was blocked - result. Scraped some old underseal off the inner wings and filled the front corners of the sills with Bilt Hamber, it will need a full injection treatment later in the summer but not today. Today is a beach day - just loading ...

Re: Squire's voitures
I have always found Bosch blue coils to be highly adaptive to living in the often stupid locations and angles used by BMC. They are the only ones that never failed on my Farina. But that would not be British! Very true. However, my very British Grandfather swore by the Cinturatos on his P6. Got to ...
