Well...............

Fitted my Tilton proportioning valve today. Found a spot of deep corrosion on one of the brake pipes in the engine bay, ended up re piping the whole car with Kunifer.
Bleeding thing.
Sorry I meant to say, just got to bleed the thing :rolleyes:
 
Without getting too deep - I think we will look back at this being a golden time. We can still ( just ) muck about with these old cars and drive them, we should all just get stuck in and do what ever comes to mind. I feel it wont be much longer before measures are taken to put a severe crimp on our hobby.

Cheerful ? well I am suffering with the worst case of man flu anyone has ever had :rolleyes:
 
what's the story on that K reg V8 Cobra? great photo, very intriguing
but going back to deep you are being far too realistic for many of us to swallow o_O yes i think a lot of us fear what you're saying there and I have come back into this a bit late, only to find that my V8 is exempt from Road Tax and exempt from MOTs. I take this as "pro-classic" stance by the Government, I mean just imagine the situation if our P6 s were not road tax exempt, it would probably mean a fair few would be SORNd and as we have no green credentials we'd pay the "Bigger than 1549cc: £255 a year (£265 2019/20rate)"

on top of that I have read that our cars are exempt from the Ultra Low Emissions Zones , so currently we are in the golden time, But I fear you have summed it up all too correctly :(

The K reg V8 is my attempt at a homage to the second factory racecar JXC 806D. It is not a full on racer, I cherry picked bits that I wanted / could afford to do.

I agree - the storm clouds have been gathering for some time, but are gaining momentum now. Whatever practical problems will make classic car running more difficult, zeitgeist will do the rest! :(
