The old girl had a bit of a miss yesterday, was smoking like it was an extra in a Cheech and Chong movie ….
If it only had one blue door, and the rest red/primer, it could be mistaken for Love Machine
Cheers,

She got us home - just ….. developed a miss again at Bannister about 125km out of Perth , was surging and carrying on - I assumed it had either fouled that plug again or it was about to sieze as the oil pressure had dropped so just kept the boot into it and hoped for the best.
We said goodbye to Trev Karen and Stoney at Armadale and took Brian and Kerrie to CEVA to drop their FB off , stopped at a car wash and I washed the ute plus degreased the engine bay , this was less than 10km from home and this is what she looked like once back in the shed -
Oil pressure at idle was a bit low …..

Might be a Rolls Canardly.
Rolls down one hill, Canardly get up the next
Glad to see you got her home safe under it's own steam.

You crack me up Harv, but following behind was easy to tell where they had been.
A place for everything and everything in it's place, just can't remember where that place is.

I had propped it open and thought it was OK - had masking tape all around it and it was floating free when flat and the bloody thing still took the paint off when i lifted it out ........
