USAndretti42 220 1 Vehicles Report post Posted September 27, 2007 Bad luck, Bibs. At least you've now got your breakdown out of the way. Once the Troy meister has had his hands on it, it will be plain hooning from then on.

andydclements 477 2 Vehicles Report post Posted September 27, 2007 At least this car needed a recovery truck, I think the NA didn't move far enough to even need that. Anyway, it's only a minor breakdown, a turbo unit only isn't bad, and at least the weather has turned against us now, so you wouldn't want to drive a car like that with your "gentle touch" on the accelerator in wet eather.

andydclements 477 2 Vehicles Report post Posted September 28, 2007 I seem to recall at the end of that 40,000 miles it sat for a while, before somebody took on a restoration job. With the new one, are you trying to go really fast and cover the 40,000 miles sooner? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Advantage 856 Report post Posted September 28, 2007 Well, it is if you've got a turbocharged car. Otherwise it's 'Oh, I can catch them in the corners' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
