Oliver, why would you want to dampen such a wonderful noise?

Hello,
My 3A has no seat belts, and no sign of any ever being fitted. I think I would like some.
Any recommendations?
Cheers
Dave
Hi Dave, the best ‘recommendation’ I was given is don’t fit them unless you are also fitting a robust roll-over bar….
-
Yes Happy Birthday John and enjoy your day

Thanks Dave, it’s not TR.. but you already knew that!
My wife is a Sports Therapist and this is part of a piece of ‘reformer Pilates equipment’…. Clear as mud now?
(No chance to send it back to the US so l thought I could have a poke around)

Inside (must be although I cannot see it) is some sort of pulley system with 3 or 4 levels of resistance (maybe they don’t want you in there because everything might pop out under pressure?), the resistance is too strong on all the settings at the moment; you can hear and feel resistance inside (compared to the other end / others, bit of eezit oil inside could not do any harm?

Thanks Rob, eBay?

Anyone seen this before? It came from the USA and (if picture is not clear enough) it’s a five sided pentagon.

Yes Happy Birthday John, hope you had a great day

AI art is an odd beast. If you can describe something, a computer algorithum can probably stitch it together. Trouble is, you never know quite what you're going to get
. But it's improving at a dizzying pace. In technology terms, AI has advanced an entire generation in a matter of months, and the results are getting pretty convincing.
A quick example, here are five pictures of classics at the Bonneville salt flats, Utah.
However, can you spot the odd one out?
The odd one out? The last one.
It is the only picture of the five not created by AI. (Mike Osteriech's Plymouth Fury, August 2014).
Impressive stuff. I quite like the 4th one. Looks like a heavyweight illegitimate child of an E-type Jag and a Ferrari GTO!

Unbelievable Deggers, I thought that the third one looked a bit clean and shiny. - For my ‘learning curve, the real car has a dent in the rear door; would this not happen if AI (unless I suppose you told it)?
On a similar note, I really couldn’t tell if this ‘porky’ was actually rusty and worn or (more likely I suspect) ‘painted on’ along with the ‘grime’?
-
Yes, why would anyone make the most ugly (roof line) of "the Worlds most beautiful car" even uglier?…. I’m going to be on a steep learning curve with this AI nonsense!

-
Yes, looks original. Although, I have never seen those numbered tags; some kind of quality control that got missed?

Rest in Peace and condolences to the family and friends.
I also did not know him well, I went up to London in the late 70’s to part exchange a 4-pot engine with a broken crank - I was a teenager on a budget, he was charming, but feeling the minuscule play at the pulley, he told me that I would not be getting the surcharge back. - The rebuilt engine was magnificent!
I was at Goodwood in 79 and remember the well stuffed hat being passed around but not the specifics
-
Great Nigel, got your pm and I will pop in the post (hopefully tomorrow morning)
-
Just on the off chance, I’ve thrown out hundreds of old car mags but does anyone want this first issue?
Happier to pop it in the post rather than the bin with all the others..
-
Happy birthday Roger…

Hi John, mine is a very late and very original 3A, I’ve run with the bomb starter for the 40+ years I’ve had the car (far as I know it looks original fitting) only ‘trouble’ I’ve ever had was fairly recently when after a lot of cranking I did not disengage… scared me but, I think that was more down to a flat battery and other circumstances although, I did then fit an isolater which I had been planning but never got around to
-
-
Yup, exactly what they were designed and built for Dave, well done and sure you enjoyed….btw how long were you parked next to the ‘No parking’ sign?
-
Happy birthday Tim, have a great day..
-
Recognise this one Pete?
It was in the airport restaurant at Geneva, we were en route to Nice with hand baggage only or I would have tried a cheeky offer; some proper (over?) engineering for the time!
-
Well done Hamish, fill it up… with bubbles …not rain water!
-
Hi Tim, he is not so far from you, he is ‘studying’ - although we don’t see much actual evidence of that
! - in London, Ontario.. Do you know it? - the Thames flows through and he lives in Grosvenor St etc….
I’m flying out via Toronto Airport next week on the 7th hopefully to give it a quick check over before he sets off across the desert to Utah, I will be around for a week with a few days work in St Catherine's / Niagara Falls if you are around and have time for me to buy you a beer?
…… This is what they are going to Utah to do, the more extreme the sport = the better….
