Not that I expect to still be driving in 10 years time. Lol.

Hah. I thought at first glance it was a nuke burst.

Well actually I guess it is really. 'Continuous' and bigger than anything we can set off; --- so far.

Not drift Willy. It's all connected. We're waiting for another rising sun. Burnham. Will he burn hot or cold?

And will there be an explosion of hate and rage in Labour? Will Starmer force a leadership vote?

I like drif...

in 10 years just getting one might be difficult.


Yep, very good point.

I have never added a fuel filter on my Spridgets. I don't believe UK fuel makes it necessary, though a rusted fuel tank may do so! Anyway all of the glass or plastic ones I have seen always have air in them which doesn't seem to impact on the fuel delivery.

You have a good memory Nick. That was a long time ago! It was definitely a plastic carrier bag. Though I couldn't now say if it was Sainsbury's. It could have been Waitrose. Certainly a 'better class of carrier bag" as it lasted pretty well.

The overflow from the rear carb has rubber pipe that is often tucked into the cut out in that triangular reinforcing panel so excess petrol could we...

I had a problem with the B sucking air. There was a pin-hole in the pipe from the tank, where it went over the axle. It was right at the very top.
