RUSTYPUP

On the way back to Kent from Santa Pod, I got stuck in horrific traffic in my Mk 2 Tina. The temperature gauge didn't go up much and it didn't boil over. However, after lots of traffic it won't tick over and will eventually die and not start until it cools down for 10 minutes. It has done it before. What dya reckon? Fuel vaporising? Coil breaking down? I can't remember if I've got that thick rubber block under the carb. Does that stop fuel boiling in the float bowl?

I hadn't planned to go, but if there is a convoy going then I'm keen. I only live down the road in sunny Maidstone. How about straight on from the ACE to Avon Park for the hot rod drags to drink lots of beer and watch some racing, then come back Sunday???

That could be interesting. You sound very talented

I had loads of stuff done early this year at Don King chroming on Canvey Island in Essex. Bumpers came out great. Door handles and badges were mainly OK but had a few dodgy ones back. It was VERY cheap. Maybe £30-40 fo a bumper? But...... he took ages to do it. Was told they would be a month but took closer to 3. I would take bumpers there again though.

I've done over well over 100,000 miles in my mk2 'Tina. It has broken down a few times but I've never been towed home in it. Always limped home or fixed it at side of the road. It's a 1600 crossflow by the way.
