Same kind of thing happened to me once in the Peel. I was driving with my grandson, then about 8 years old. A Santa Clara cop pulled us over. When he walked up to the Peel he saw it was right hand dri

Don't depend on the tank itself to provide a ground for the sender. Run a ground wire from the sender to a good chassis ground if you haven't. Tanks are often isolated with felt, rubber and crud. Dick

I don't know what Mr. Russell is up to. Haven't heard from him in several years. He bought my Goggomobil collection, not my Lloyds. Dick Tuttle

Thanks Craig! I love to see guys like this modify wimpy little cars and run them 10 times harder than their makers ever considered. Who needs 1,200 hp? Dick Tuttle

I once drove a CB350 four powered Berkeley. It sounded exotic with that high revving four but was over all a poor combination. The engine was torqueless, only producing power at thigh revs. The exhaus

The folks who wrote the flyer figure that if you don't know it is about Palo Alto you don't really belong there. That's why some call it Shallow Alto. Or maybe the just forgot. Dick Tuttle

I wondered why Errol Flynn's Packard was right hand drive, then I discovered he was an Aussie (Tasmanian). Don't know about Fatty's Pierce, which also looks like right hand drive. It took a while for

It's a 1999 or so. Proper Minis were made into 2000. My son has a 2000 Sport Pack with leather interior, extra lights, fuel injection and striping. There is no place for a distributor in the engine bl

Ken's description of Mille runners agrees with my experience. I once preped a car for the Mille and attended the formal send-off dinner. I had borrowed and Armani suit from my son-in-law. (Didn't go o

Brilliant for Matt to spot that! I missed it. Later, the half car had the A-pillar without striker so it went back to a normal door car. They probably cut up a number of cars to shoot those scenes. Si

Maybe because it looked like a hatchback going backwards? Cars in which one's feet stick out ahead of the front axle have difficulties in crash tests, as well. Dick Tuttle

Hi Gregg and all, I always liked the Velorex, especially when friends called it stupid, with that fabric cover. They have no idea of the difficulties building anything fun in the communist countries.

A friend trying to pick a red, painted stripes of various popular reds on a car door, including Porsche's India Red, Ferrari's Rosso Corso, etc. What he picked was Toyota's Super Red. I also picked it

Byron didn't call it a Dodge. He called it a dodge, a way to get around rules or some other problem. Dickens' Artful Dodger wasn't a Mopar man! Bodge is first cousin to a dodge. Of course if Tom put a

I had a T400 coupe in college. Electric pre-selector gear box, automatic 2-stroke lubrication. It was great for parking in Berkeley because I could pick up the whole front end and move it sideways int

You mean to tell me that the BMW guys don't know what they are doing? Or did they just follow the lead of the refrigerator guys in Italy? I drove a 300 to work for many years only replacing the joints

Mark, Doesn't the chain case move forward some when the weight of the car compresses the suspension, making the stock position in better alignment than it seems hanging on the hoist? Dick Tuttle
