Winter's here

Smirking Saab and Volvo drivers

--=20 Carl Robson Car PC Build starts again.

I've been through half of those so far. Waterpump is still seized in the engine block though. Good design on Vauxhalls behalf, I think.

If there's a new way, I'll be the first in line. But it better work this time!

...and anyone else with proper coolant, a decent battery and heated seats.

:)

You want a nice, realiable Wop motor, you do.

The message from "Gøñzølã" contains these words:

But, not a single iced up carburettor from fallen off hot air ducts!

I remember that...the engine never stopped on me, but it spluttered like mad. Micra with a twin-barrel sequential carb; the second barrel kept it going given enough pedal.

Carb icing.

Pinking(!)

Tim..

Except by smirking Saab and Volvo drivers. I can even go topless with a warm arse should I choose.

The head snapped off one of the 5 bolts when tryin to get mine out. A pair of long nosed mole grips, and a lot of cussin later, I was able to get on with fittin a new one.

I bought a Rover cuz I like openin the bonnet 2 or 3 times a week. I'd be bored otherwise. I also have a fetish for rust.

I haven't had a carb since my Fiesta Popular 1.1

The message from "Gøñzølã" contains these words:

I ain't had one since I last owned a petrol engined car - and that was nearly twenty years ago.

Don't worry, I have enough for everyone with five on my current fleet and another three or four on the shelf.

Why new water pumps in winter? Not something I've ever noticed failing come the cold weather, unless you mean the coolant freezing?

And why does traffic come to a standstill as soon as there's a dusting of snow on the ground?

The message from "John" contains these words:

I don't mind it coming to a standstill half as much as I mind it sliding into the back of me at the end of the road 'cos it hasn't got the sense to brake earlier when it's slippery.

Because those with the foresight to pack snowchains are still stuck behind a gritter that doesn't have them trying to drive on ice.....
