Remember yesterday on the A46 near Bidford on Avon? I was the bloke in the =

with a fuel metering unit whose timing was out of whack. Some things for =
you to remember for future reference:

2. If you choose to drive a classic car, One jack without a handle, no whee=
lnut spanner at all and a sloppy adjustable spanner does NOT represent a to=
olkit! Wasn=92t it handy that mine was available?
3. If you paid =A330,000 for that car, the seller saw you coming. The engin=
e needs a major rebuild from the racket it makes at idle, the electrics loo=
k positively dangerous and the fuel pump is over-fuelling the metering unit=
. What I did at the roadside in re-timing your metering unit to squirt the =
correct pipe at least got you running on all six, albeit not smoothly but e=
nough to get you home.
4. I hope you enjoyed the lunch you never stopped telling me you were likel=
y to miss as I worked on your car and...
5. If anyone else ever stops to help you at the roadside when they had no n=
eed to themselves, remember it=92s customary to say just two words before s=
torming off in a cloud of smoke and crashing gears. Those words? Thank you =
is the customary in England and a few other places too.
Sproutpicker!
