Doesn’t help the reality is very different from the manual - there’s way more fasteners holding in the liner than the book specifies

So, finally got round to fixing the bum passenger side turn signal and while I was in there I wanted to replace the broken front side marker lamp assembly. Who knew, this item is from a 2003 Land Rover Freelander! BTW, pulling the fender liner out was just as horrible the second time around as...

Didn’t realize it got that cold in Arizona

I’ll shoot a video when it’s on the dyno

Just tooled around the neighborhood so far. The carbs have a massive flat spot ( hence putting it on a dyno to try and fix that), but when the carbs clear themselves, engine rpms skyrocket with no change in acceleration or speed - the tyres just spin, 1650ft lbs of torque will do that!

Well, one benefit of the pandemic is that we haven't been anywhere, so I finished my Merlin project way sooner than planned! All that's left now is to figure out how we can strap it on a chassis dyno so we can tune the horrible Webers. Oh, and figure out how to title and register it. Per my...

The manual says change it very 30,000 miles or after three years if vehicle has not been operated

He was fine, car was totaled. I heard that before the wreck he’d podiumed in it at a 12 hour Sebring race.

Worst case of seller’s remorse for me was when a 350R clone I’d spent years building disappeared into its shipping trailer on the way to its new owner. To make matters worse, not too long after the new owners did this at Spa in an FIA race

On my 51,000 mile car the gauges tell me when its time for a new battery, they stop working, but new battery has always cured it. I’m on my third.

For all the book readers in the Forum, I've just published a satirical novel about the pandemic, politics, and media's influence on our lives. It's now available through all the usual sites, or direct from Archway Publishing's website. I submitted the manuscript at the end of June and it's been...

I hard-wired my Radenso Pro M from the overhead light, no problems. Popping the cover off is, err, nerve-wracking, lots of leverage required!

Nice thing about GT filters is that they’re from a Mustang, just buy two!

I think dealer allocations were linked to dealer performance? If you were a five-star dealership (or whatever Ford uses) then you qualified. The guy that runs Planet Ford got a very earl black/white stripe car and told me he had qualified for two more because all his dealerships were highly...

Details, details, Gary. Reminds me of the old “ but apart from that Mrs Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?”

None in mine, a very late ‘06

Ajai, WD40 is cheaper and works just as well.

My old Mclaren went through 14 software upgrades and the GPS still didn’t work properly!

The new team is an improvement over the last lot, but the ‘chemistry’ still seems forced. Loved Harris’s test of that insane electric VW Pikes Peak car, tho’

Ha! Steve, once my workshop is clean of the Rolls project, come on down. I’m hoping my shop will be freed-up before year-end
