    Oops

    Yes, but I'm having trouble with the machine guns and rocket launcher. It's a California issue. Dave built it for his 26R and it is a neat setup, obviously built by an engineer. All aluminum and very light. The ramps fit into the bed and are secured by Dzus fasteners. The wheel chocks have been moved to accommodate a formula car but I'm going to relocate them for my 7 and a neighbors Elan. The wheels are 26R type converted for lugs instead of knockoffs. The attention to detail is incredible.

    All of this talk about trailers forced me to go out and find one. I ended up with the trailer that Dave Bean built to haul his Lotus 26R race car. It is small and light with a bunch of really neat features like the ramps being secure in the bed under the car.

    This might work https://mossmotors.com/440-600-t5-smiths-classic-digital-speedometers I went with a Smith's GPS speedo for my car. https://www.nisonger.com/smiths-classic-gauges.htm Tom

    I recently went through the same issue with rentals. I had purchased a car trailer a thousand miles away and needed to get it home. Another car guy put me on to UShip. You describe your shipment and desired price range and they put it out to bid. I ended up having the trailer transported to my house for less than I would have paid to drive up and retrieve it in my own truck. I am very happy with the way it worked out. Tom

    Bruce, Will this work in an older '82 S-3 with Smith's gauges? Tom

    I tell them it is a Lotus Three and a Half. Caterham chassis and Lotus engine.

    My experience with DMV was similar at the Pasadena office. They knew nothing and had to get out a book that looked like it was from a Harry Potter movie. The BAR Referee was great. After his initial inspection of my car he gave me detailed instructions on how to deal with DMV and cautioned me against telling them I had spoken with him. His advice smoothed the path with DMV and when I returned to his place with the SB100 paperwork he congratulated me, attached the exemption sticker, and told me to have fun.

    Offer them donuts. Sorry, I couldn't help myself... MV8 is on the right track. Just call the local non-emergency number and ask if someone can stop by. Or find out where you go to have a cop sign off a mechanical or equipment violation and go there.

    I use Grundy. Don't know if it is available in Canada. https://www.grundy.com/classic-cars/

    Back in the old days my dad had an MG TD. At that time it was a simple four fingers up to an oncoming British sports car.

    Years ago the aviation industry had issues with using Simple Green on aircraft parts. Since then Simple Green has modified the formula and markets a version that is okay with aluminum. I think it is Simple Green Aircraft and Precision Cleaner. Tom

    Thanks for your offer, however I already ordered one from Berry Spencer up in Livermore. Tom

    Thanks for all of this. I've been thinking of going with a 123 for my twincam to get rid of the Pertronix that goes from ignition to paperweight without warning. tom

    I installed an AIM AFR on my twincam. Had a bung welded beyond where the two into one connection was. It works well, I'm just too illiterate to figure out how to log the data.

    Heck, you should be able to get one of the docs at the ER to give you a prescription on your next visit with a patient...

    Sorry I couldn’t be more help. Good luck

    I wrote a long reply and then realized that it most likely didn't apply to your car. But in my car I can put a jack under the differential and lift it a bit to clear the prop shaft. My car is a live axle with an Ital differential and that may make a big difference.
