I was actually hoping Joe might be looking for someone to drive Huxley down for him - that would save a return trip ;-) (Hope my '77 isn't too jealous - but Huxley really looks beautiful! Joe - I hop

I agree you don't need A/C - but I prefer not to have an allen key (sp?) supplied with the car for taking the roof off. I'm serious! A friend of mine traded in his Mazda MX5 for an Elise a while ago.

It's official - the LBC disease is contagious! I got a phone call last night from a friend who has never really shown any interest in cars at all. Apparently, he saw a procession of Triumphs driving

Heavy rain and strong wind, huh? Sounds like British weather to me - ideal for British Car Week! Actually, the weather over here has just turned nice. But how's this for timing? I decided I can't aff

Hi Listers! As I think I mentioned in a previous posting, the gearbox on my Spit 1500 packed in this morning. I'm currently trying to decide whether I should replace it myself, or have a garage do it

I've also had one or two problems with Rimmer Bros - the cyclinder head I bought from them had some chunks missing from it, but they changed that no questions asked when I pointed it out to them, and

I'll second that! We pay the same price for a litre of fuel as our American cousins pay for a gallon! Add that to the ever-increasing cost of road-tax (unless you have a ridiculously small lawn-mower

Mine has always been routed round the back of the engine - I assumed this was stock, because it seems so much more logical than any other way! But come to think of it, this could explain why the bits
