    Ah, so Frankenfrog wasn't a V8. But a mixture of vital organs from different bodies. Very appropriate!

  • David Cox18 October 2026

    Ledru-Rollin's line comes to mind: " there go my people. I must follow them for I am their leader."...

  • anamnesis18 October 2026

    Wasn't frankenfrog owned by a chap in Thailand?

    Edit. Yes indeed.

    A quick search, without AI, comes up with

    " Which reminds me, anyone heard from Andy Phillips in Thailand who built and ran �FrankenFrog?�"


    Edit 2. --

    Andy Phillips (frankenfrog), Thailand

    I have the Datsun engine in my Frankenfrog.

    My relay only has 4 terminals.

  • GuyW18 October 2026

    I had an idea there was a Sprite conversion with a V8 known as Frankenfrog. But Google it and you only get lots of references to a children's book. Add 'car' into the search picks up a much modified Saab, but still no Sprites.
    Do I have a false memory of this?

    There's a V6 Bugeye for sale ATM in the States, I believe
    And there exists a 4 wheel drive V8 Midget somewhere too.

    Not needed with my tray ;-). It catches whatever comes out of the vent pipe as well.

  • Mike Fritsch18 October 2026

    Thanks for the advice and how to. Yes, I will be careful with the rod. I will check if it is still flat before I re- install it.
    As for the seizure - yes, everyone tells me they have never heard of of that fault. So I am a „proud“ first ;-(. Still wondering what caused it. There is still the issue of the gasoline in the oil when I drained it and the black valves in the head at cyls 3 and...

    She may be giving it a go, but is still useless just like Labour and the Libs and she will never make a decent leader. The fact is that decent leaders are in very short supply these days in all the main parties and a lot of the minor ones for that matter.

    Type A and Type B are definitely an issue with wired sockets. BT, DT with the headlight relay kit a pal got from a well-known source with one of each!

    But with spade connectors on loose wires just go by the diagram typically on the Bosch relays.

  • Bill B18 October 2026

    Actually I'm glad the Conservatives are rising. The country needs a decent opposition which is still Labour or Conservative imv. Badenough is giving it a go.
