Thread: Embarrassment

G'Day Jase, thanks for the offer but I'll pass on it. Anyrate the little ones will probably be a nuisance, trying to keep track off them in the crowd that I am expecting to be there. The plan is only to take the two older ones!!!

253 in Land Rover

By Circlotron 06/11/05@13:53
Back in 1978 my cousin stuck a re-ringed ex-HT 253 in a Series IIA short wheelbase Land Rover. Was the second in Australia I am told. Motor to bellhousing adapter ring was done by some guy named John Lake IIRC. Had a 27% Fairey overdrive. Stepping out of my 192 LC and driving that, it didn't feel at all slow. Interesting part was fuel consumption - the standard 2-1/4 litre Landy motor gave 16mpg, a 186 gave 16mpg, and the 253 towing a loaded single-axle trailer all the way from Melbourne to Cape York and back at mostly 75mph gave 17 mpg. It was a hard trip, most everything on the vehicle broke. Chassis had to be re-welded at one stage, overdrive got so whiny that when he went through towns people would turn to see what was coming. *But*... the motor gave absolutely =zero= trouble. Dual exhausts went white the first day out and stayed that way for the next six weeks of the trip. He was nearly having heart failure way up north because at one place petrol cost 21 cents per litre. That was one helluva vehicle, to be sure.

Wish fuel was still this cheap..Actualy we where talking awhile ago about when i used to run the old SOLO service station at Jesmond . I had a LS mini clubman & it used to cost a whopping $4.00 to fill the whole tank..Gees i miss those days..
