Even the Triumph Stag gets a Brexit Mention!

I showed him a pair of Stag heads a few years ago. First he picked up on the LM25 notation, indicating the standard of alloy used. He told me that this is still used in many modern alloy heads as it is an excellent alloy for the job. Obviously he didn't take a hacksaw to my good spare heads, but he didn't have anything derogatory to say about what he could see.

When we were last over in Michigan they had a monetary recycling system for aluminium cans. Take the empties back to the supermarket and you get money off your groceries. The largest user of recycled aluminium cans over there used to be Ford as they used them for cylinder heads. Gives a different meaning to 'things go better with Coke' I guess...............

Yes. On a slightly different topic, been reading PPC about the 90's Mustang with 85bhp 3.3 litre six and 5 litre V8 with 140 bhp, talk about detuned. Makes the 20 year older Stag engine highly tuned.

Makes a sidevalve Moggy engine sound exciting

So that is what it means when they say you should de-coke the heads !!!

Hybrids? G Wizz?

G wizz, almost as deadly as an electric chair.

It is an electric chair

Technically it's a quadracycle I believe - not worthy of the title of a 'car'

Edit: sorry, spellcheck error, should be quadricycle - wouldn't want anyone using that error to abuse someone else

[mike@thenook]

I know of only one person owning up to having one of them and that was/is Jonathan Woss - sort of bloke you could see in one....

More lately they used about 30 in a game of battleships on the Grand Tour - perfect way to dispatch them I thought.....!

ISTR that when Kristin Scott-Thomas appeared on TG a few years back she admitted to owning a G-Whiz, much to JC's chagrin as he was busy drooling over her until then..........

[mike@thenook]

Oh yes, remember that too
