I wheeled my unit out on a creeper board.
Car jacked up, lowered unit with a hoist.

Off topic that's an absolute beauty Keg - love the colour

Don't forget to apply some Loctite when fastening the inner hexagon head bolts!

I would second this as a ti I had and subsequently sold on once dropped the 6 bolts out at low speed!

Lovely!

As above Colin, please give our love and best wishes to Mandy

Ant twin carb Sud I've owned I've never used choke to start it with.
A few pumps of the throttle pedal before start up works fine for me

I can't remember when the NCT started but it is a good thing no doubt.
I was a taxi driver from 92 to 02 and back when I started some of the cars that were taxis were shocking!

Are you looking for his number?
He's about 50 but loves his cars.
His Facebook page has a post about him making a fuel tank for a Montreal

Couldn't agree more Kev.
Nice and tidy and thoroughly chopped out.

Our testing centres are standalone too-they only test, no fixing like I understand with you guys?

Enjoy.

Thanks-even the mechanic was gushing about the 'interesting' sound of the engine....

Quick update, passed our MOT equivalent until August 2021. I finally got my mechanic to fix the front seats (he welded plates on the bottom and used the original bolts and anchor points). He also changed the front PS wheel bearing, both track rod ends, fettled and tuned the carbs-it's idling at abou...

Interesting thread re tyre age.
Here in the Republic of Ireland, our MOT equivalent (NCT) gives an
advisory for tyres over 6 years old regardless of condition.

Really enjoyed the clips Simon - thanks for sharing.
I'm guessing the Red Morris Minor won't be on your Christmas card list?
A few times I found myself telling you to just go through the gaps you'd opened up with a few of the drivers.
My race craft would be non existent though!

My thoughts exactly Dave! Nice photos. Just a little bit romance novel for me

The Sud featured is a little beauty

Great photo Lou thanks for sharing

Delighted for you Colin

Thanks for the kind words Mufasa The Sud’s not been used much this year as my son and I have been fettling and using the red 33 which is currently with Shrew for an exhaust but I’ll be back out track before the end of the year a couple of times. Nimble is the right word for the Sud though and it ev...

Brilliant thread Lou!

Very fair point Nualfaman. I've driven my dad's 2015 BMW 730d on motorways and in a multi storey.
Guess which is much more enjoyable!

Gorgeous Sud Adam.
When I grow up (I'm 49) I would love a track Sud.
I have a track 166 2.5 which kind of fell into the role (saved it from the crusher).
It's good fun but too big for our local track which suits a smaller more nimble car...
(And a much better driver )

Great positional nous to stay out of trouble and carve up the field.
Kudos Simon

Sorry for your troubles Loo

Brilliant work lad - please keep the updates coming

Ted's Suds are inspirational and aspirational
