Enjoy your car for the rest of the year J.

You might get a good opportunity come your way.

No good worrying about it just get what you can afford. When you can afford.

Then get as much help as you can off the forum.

Regards mate.

Enjoyed your company last weekend.

Especially in the show arena. LoL.

Top Gear is not dead.

Hi steamer.

I've got an old Piscara 2 cylinder engine going.

Do you think you could put that in for him.

And show him how to wind it up to start it.

 

Not really. Just waiting for reactions.

Anyone under 45 know what one is?

I am two weeks under 45 and no aint got a clue wot you are on about ken

way easier to swap small pinto for large pinto. .. stop messing about with zetecs etc..need new exhaust . carbs. management etc.

Zetec all the way. Great engine with good power easily obtainable.

It's an engine that is a boxer design in the true sence.

One bore, two Pistons that create compression by travel opposing each other.

Crap things really. They used to drive things like compressors, water pumps etc.

The starter system used to be spring loaded.

The Pistons were wound back there full length then released to punch together and bang, off it went.

First time I saw it. 1970.

Last time I saw it, 1970.

The army used to have some weird crap in the old days.

I even worked on a mobile machine shop.

Mounted on an old Guy chassis.

No power steering with tyres like balloons. About 18" in width.

The only way you could turn the steering wheel was with two people until you got to about 25 MPH.

Sounds like a poor attempt at the Commer diesel.

[Guest 2b cruising]

Much much worse than the old two stroke diesel.

Found out now they were just for compressors.

Using the power stroke to drive a compressor piston inside a seperate chamber.

Google Pascara, it's quite interesting really.
