Agree with Booger re timing, and probably a pretty easy fix.Quote:

Happy Series motoring.
Damnit Mark - you make me upset every time I see this thread. :mad::p And not that she is Registered just adds insult to injury. Selling my old 2a was the worst thing I've ever done. Ever. STUPID. STUPID. STUPID. :bangin:
/anyway/ congratulations mate. She is a pearler! Can't wait to see her in the metal some time!
Leaving in 20 minutes on an 800km round trip returning Sunday. Heading over Bells Line of Road, up the Castlereagh Highway, across from Gulgong to Wellington then up to Dubbo. Full tank of fuel, 20L jerry can, tools, a few spares, some food and an imperial crapload of warm and waterproof clothes. And a pushbike in case I need a tow :p
If you are near Dubbo this weekend come to the Police Spectacular!
I hope the weather is kind to you and you have a safe, trouble free and enjoyable trip. I notice you're not going via Lucknow this trip. :thumbsup:
I'm heading south on Saturday with 28 others for 9 days through the NSW and Victorian high country.
Got the leather helmet, flying goggles and wet celery?
400km is a heck of a long way in a series! I take my hat off to JDNSW for the number of times he has made it to the expo from here. Driving post sundown is interesting, four candlepower leaping forward the chill wind billowing around you and you look above the windscreen to see the glorious milky way and a crescent moon.
Old Mary is now ensconsed behind some old bikes alongside some fantastically restored oldies, not too far from the 15 million dollar Polair 4. She looks a bit more careworn than anything else here. Whilst i'm a guest of her majesty!
Good luck with your journey Roger.
Wet celery Justin?
Also, I can't believe how punchy this engine is. Overtook a pulsar UP Bellbird Hill. Cruises around 90-95 comfortably and has plenty more poke left. Fuel hasn't been too bad, about 16mpg by rough calculation. The odo doesn't work...
Had couple of great waves with Defenders too :)
Time to sell it now and buy next project.
All 500 miles done and dusted. What a fantastic drive. Stopped by Keithy73 and Gromit68's places on the way back, any excuse for a leg stretch and a chat!
Along the way ol' Mary lost a pin in the handbrake mechanism so it doesn't work, some nuts rattled off the bolts holding the rear seats in, the bolt that holds the rocker cover breather has gone missing and in order to sound like a tractor, an exhaust gasket leak has developed-now both my Landies have this latter ailment.
The Dubbo Police Spectacular was...well...spectacular. Polair 4 was there, Museum of Fire had some big red trucks, an armoured van that weighs 5.2 tonnes but with tyres rated to 1200kg per corner, there were cars from 1911 to the present-most older cars were representative of Police vehicles from different eras but not all actual Police vehicles, horses, motor bikes from 1908 or so-two with sidecars, weaponry, taser demonstrations, stories of murderers, missing people, hangings, holds ups...
I played tail-end Charlie in the street parade with Polair roaring overhead and practically everyone in town lining the streets, and Mary won the 'Best Police Car' trophy, which being engraved glass is awfully hard to photograph but looks great on my shelf!
Stopover at Ben Bullen
