Yes it fitted better that way and it doesn't move. I thought it was a better arrangement than the setup on it previously. You possibly can just make it out in this photo. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230510/1b2a5358ce496461504f7c58a61d8f0b.jpg I have a brand new 038 battery on the shelf I may ...

StIll get the odd itch for a Trump 2000, have to be a Mk1 too.....Most of my Minis looked like that Clubbie - we had MOTs back then of course without exemption but I never worried about them because I don't think a single one lasted till the next test date.... As someone pointed out on the beige, t...

I've been to this meet before but this time there seemed to be a good selection of different cars. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230510/fe96e1bb81a101161e2606a76dcba1f1.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230510/88a7514cc35c039f9f12ef3022cd5672.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230510/4...

There isn't the water refill points on the mainline now to sustain long journey running. Apparently t...

A rather different and spectacular sight to see this morning while I was commuting through Temple Meads Train Station

Or put it vertically to really annoy people. The cake equivalent is this

Yeah it's been bugging me too. These two pictures are apparently the correct positioning. That said, back in 1979 they probably slapped them on any old way. It'll be something I sort eventually. Unless I get commented on it all the time and it annoys people. Then it's staying like that. Like the won...

Hagerty sound absolute dogshit, 3 hours on hold? That’s pathetic. The Austin Counties Club are now recommending them as their ‘approved’ insurer, as they’ve offered cheaper premiums than RH who they must have been recommending for 15 years now. I’m with RH and can wholeheartedly recommend them, the...

Late 1500 had a viscous fan. Requires a different water pump. https://www.moss-europe.co.uk/shop-by-model/triumph/spitfire/cooling-system/cooling-fan-fittings/water-pump-fan-fittings-spitfire-mki-1500-1962-80.html Perhaps that pump wasn't available at the time and so it was ditched for an electric a...
