cisco24uk Posted April 17, 2007 Report Posted April 17, 2007 I have been having a clear out in my garage, and what should I find under a pile of my capri bits but an old car . Talking to my dad it is aparrently something called a jowett. I said that it dosent have a starter and he said that they didnt have them back then . I also pointed out that its missing at least two cylinders. He is away this week so I htought as a surprise I would have a go at trying to get it started, here is the result (turn sound up) I love the flames hitting the wooden toe boards under the petrol tank, scared the crap out of me lol.
ZetecVan 2.0 Posted April 17, 2007 Report Posted April 17, 2007 Yay! Jowetts were built at a place called Idle in Bradford which is where I used to live. There's a Morrisons supermarket on that site now.
