My run of bad luck continues chaps.
On a 200 mile run out to Suffolk my carb started icing up and leaking and my headlamps packed up ( you try keeping up with a 5litre v8 Mercedes and a Pug 205 gti along unfamiliar country roads in the dark ! )
Then on the way home, as i was popping and farting round the m25, i was just starting to breathe easy when "Ping " my speedo packed up ....joy...
Just ordered a rebuild kit for the carb, have got several headlamp switches on watch on ebay ( i've mended my one too many times now )
and off ( slowly ) to the local german car people to get a new speedo cable....
Not bad for a car i bought 5 years ago for £100 though. :)
still need a replacement door handle though. :roll:
