Re: 1956 traveller 'special'
I don't want to borrow it to move a sofa, believe me the lack of room will be no problem. I'll pick up the keys later.

Re: supercharged 1275 home brew. anybody fancy a blown minor?
Just took great delight in winning a little drag race with a modified honda civic complete with dustbin exhaust pipe, tinted windows, shopping list style stickers.
The young man driving it looked very put out after being beaten by a Morris Minor.

Re: supercharged 1275 home brew. anybody fancy a blown minor?
No idea of the mpg. Sorry.
However this car is now for sale as I need to make space on the driveway (we're moving only room for 3 cars) I plan to sell this car, my saab 95v4 estate and buy fozwangers twin cam traveller (on sale on this site) to do the job of both cars.

Re: supercharged 1275 home brew. anybody fancy a blown minor?
Now I've fitted the new exhaust, I'm not sure I like it, I may change it back soon, the car is just as n oisey at speed thanks to lack of sound insulation. I've got a big bit of thick celotex which I will put behind where the rear seat back should be.

The first addition is a carpet and a back seat for my dogs. To follow a quieter exhaust. (The current one is LOUD) Here's a picture of the ...
