Might be worth a compression check if it's been like that a while? Spesh in those dry dusty 'States...

Thanks for your concern Paul, that motor is 100% son.

Any news yet on when she's landing, Mal?

Still planning on being at Brooklands?

Oh boy, this one is driving me nut's

It's really down to the seller in
Milwaukee, nice bloke, just will not play ball when it comes to paperwork

ie wouldn't give the shippers the title, social security no, wouldn't take t/t insisted on a cheque(took 6 weeks

) hence keep missing allocated sailings

Will not see that car now till mid JUNE

Thanks for asking Rob

Sounds about the same as when we got ours.

Not so much the seller mucking about, just took longer to get the car back together after getting the extra bits & bobs done (wish they hadnt bothered, it's all had to be redone!). We were hoping to be at Brooklands that year (04), but didnt get it till the beginning of July

It'll be worth the wait tho

I was hoping to get a line up of Pete's 62, our 63 & your 64 (see where I'm going with this?)... all red too

Oh well, another time.

Not that ours is guaranteed to be there either

Shame that

After that we should be at Billing on June 18th, then that Cor*ette meet the week after, Sun 25th, both a bit iffy tho if you say mid-june....

Whats the position with the other (blue/green) 64? Definitely getting it? :blob5:
