With one and a half weeks to go, I checked the float in Fossa’s Weber to find one of the floats broken off yet again. Luckily in buying a spare carburettor for our Cortina we have a spare float and it has been fitted. Fossa has passed her start test starting first time. Coming weekend some new oil and filters, the normal pre race checks and a wash.

Zwartkops Raceway, 11 October 2014, Midas Historic Tour. Trust we will see some of you there!

Howdy …..  been quiet for a while? A lot have happened on the home front. Repaired the destroyed brake pipe and made an aluminium shield to protect the “new” pipe. Then a as yet unidentified new noise in our Cortina’s engine …… purchased a reconditioned engine from Johan’s Auto in Alberton, fitting a challenge in itself, still need to do the fine tuning on the carburettor and the ignition timing …. yes there are other challenges that I deal with and work! And then I still need to bring the original home for dissecting!
