Re: Wot, not another '79 Targa resto thread

What a charming and delightfully English country set-up you have there. Looks like Toad and Ratty could stop by at any moment to survey your progress. Toot Toot! John

Re: Don't get angry: claybaring?

I was a late adopter to clay bar, silly of me as usual to be such a pill. As others say, it goes so quickly and easily, but when you then polish and/or wax, THAT step, especially buffing off the polish and or wax will be incredibly easy and satisfying due to lack of crap on surface creating streaks ...

Re: TVR Grantura, I'm I mad?

Isn't the artist Tim Layzell running a Vixen in an historic race series now? ie Goodwood. I think there was an article in past twelve months, either Octane or C&SC, if of interest.

Re: My old motors thread - probably done before, but who car

I was going to guess ATS, but would have been incorrect.
I remember as a kid (1970's) that even Italian lorries had interesting wheels which looked rather like radial aero-engines.

Re: 67 912 my own take

Welcome.

I will look forward to learning/seeing more about your 912. Mysterious looking shop it came from.

Best, John

I came to the US in 1981 as a 15 year old from Bristol. Re. the matter at hand: these are private developments, condominium associations. A drive around any American area, coast-to-coast and especially in between, will show you more freedom than you'd ever want to see, and it's often not good: old c...

I'm sure this is a silly question, but have you had your fuel tank cleaned out? John

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day

I wonder what was wrong with the R16, and if the road service fellow was able to remediate the problem? Great photo. John

Re: 1973 US 911T 2.4 MFI - Mark A

I too like your fuel strainer fix. I'm doing an 87 924S with a very contaminated fuel system; once removed from the tank, the filtration mesh just fell apart. The parts for this car are gobbling cash like nobody's business... I'd imagine something similar to your fix. May I ask, how fine is that SS ...
