First Drive Of The Year Quiz

[theduck]

I've had my first drive of the year today, car is much better than it was last year but still needs some fine tuning, but it will make t to stoneleigh, which I wasn't sure it would at the start of the day as this is basically my last chance to work on it before the show.

 

Anyway, on to the quiz. 2 items have fallen off today (so far), question is, what? And for bonus points, how far had I driven before each item fell off?

 

I'll reveal the answer some time this evening

No winners today. I'm sure there will be more rounds of "what fell off my car?" in the future though As for what fell off today..

 

Coil pack (yes, really) seems the bracket I made to go on top of the cut down distributor wasnt secured as well as I thought and lasted just 2 miles.

 

Coolant overflow bottle. This made it to 4 miles, and conveniently fell off as I got out the car.

 

 

Both have been fixed and covered another 10 miles since and the car is running well. Still a lot of tuning to do to but it was great fun today.

When you say fixed I guess you mean tie wrapped in good hoddie fashion

[theduck]
