We have a very old car. It used to belong to our son, and we bought it second hand for him,when he was 17. He is now 34.Lately it has been running like 'a hairy goat'. My husband has tried to find out what the problem is. (I must say, it has done a power of work, and is probably just looking for a rest!) Neville took the head off last week, and replaced it and the gasket, to no avail. Today, he put a different carburator on, and it is running like a clock. It still has water being forced into one of the pistons, but now, I don't feel as though it is going to conk out, miles from anywhere.
I mentioned in a recent posting, that the council workers were putting kerbing along our street. They laid the kerbing on Tuesday, and it was fascinating to watch. We had to park the car on the front verge for a few days, but now have a new driveway, and can put the car in the yard again.It is a bit 'sudden' when we drive out, and one would not want to drive out too quickly, or you would damage the front end. They have to finish filling in the ditch and leveling the rubble, but it looks quite good.
