Get to Play with my Stag soon

[Brashy]

Well Well... I leave Angola tomorrow and arrive in Old blighty on Friday, get to see and play with the Stag I bought 6 weeks ago.... First time hmmmmmm of course the wife (We both work here) was in a bit of a hissy as she wanted a classic of her own... she fancied a Spitfire .. but never really found any that really took my eye...

Look what I did! !!!!! It gets delivered Monday when we are home... hope she likes it

Hi Brashy - are you glad to be leaving Angola? I spent 4 years working there and to be honest hated the place. Spent time in Luanda, Soyo and Cabinda. Was glad to leave. 4 years ago I was back again but lasted 1 week before handing in my notice and leaving.

No No No never the roads in Angola would wreck them is a week.... No both wll tucked up somewhere snug for the winter... I an toying with the idea of sending the to EJward? They would plan to remove the RV8 and replace with a reconditioned engine and box but also involves a lot more work sounds like a 5K job which is a lot for a 7K car

The Sprite needs the bumpers rechromed and getting that done and he roll bar fitted painted and made to look pretty for mrs B but for the next three weeks we are gonna play trip to Skye is on the cards as well as Inverness and Fort William..

Things wrong with my stag..



1. rover engine

2 soft top knackered

3 rover engine



OK for some reason or other the holley carb on the rover engine seems to be spitting a sht load of petrol in to the engine and in to the air filter and generally everywhere.. engine flooding conking out won't idle.. any ideas? should I get webber carbs?
