If he was at a different college, he might have a different outlook. My daughter went to Marlboro in Vermont. She REALLY wanted a car there. She got her Masters at the Trachtenberg School in DC. She really didn't want a car there. When she came back to Minnesota, the first thing she did was buy a car.

I think the bonnet essentially holds the top of the nose in-place if the bottom is fastened. I'm not ready to rely on either concept, though: I think I am going to fasten the nose at all four locations.

My 1979 Caterham had no heater. My 1991 Caterham has a heater, and also electric heating in the windscreen.

I have been happy with the one in Burnsville Minnesota, but they closed it in September, No worries, the one in Roseville Minnesota is still open and they are moving the Burnsville stock there.

Unappreciated compliments

There is another car forum that has a section for politics. I studiously avoid that section. I do not want to know the political views of people I meet on car fora. -
Just in the last month of the 1940s.

How many miles did you drive this year?

I bought my Elise in Park City. It's gone now, replaced by a Cayman and a Caterham. -
Wow. This is why I do USA-style autocross. I have neither the talent nor the courage to drive in traffic like that.

The opposite thing that happened to me on my yellow 1979 Caterham. I was told the rear axle was Morris Marina. Ordered Quaiffe TorSen and 4.11/1 gears. Turns out it was was Ford axle. Grr. Venders were very nice to me and took back the stuff and got me the correct stuff. No worries with my present 1991. DeDion that already has a conventional LSD. I probably won't mess with it.

Dune buggy? Series Four? ;-)

An excellent choice.

Haven't had this Seven long enough to figure. I expect that it will spend more miles in the trailer than on the roads. Primarily an autocross car. -
Be sure it is grounded securely. On many distributers, the advance plate is grounded to the distributer body by a short piece of braid. On my TR4 this braid was connected to the plate with a rivet. Seemed to work well enough with the points, but with the PerTronix the tiny looseness of the rivet raised hob and the car kept cutting out. I can't remember now the alternative method I devised to ground the PerTronix, but it was simple. The ignition worked flawlessly thereafter.

No surprise. Miata clutch master cylinders tended to need replacement. Fortunately, I found mine cheap and easy to replace. I found that I didn't need to bleed it. Simply filled the reservoir and pumped the clutch pedal for several minutes and it bled itself.

That's part of the question, isn't it? Russia? The UK itself? Whomever it was, they knew what the inside of the office in London looked like.

Was this ancient problem ever resolved?

Thanks.

Looking for background on this. What year was this car? When was the Prisoner 7 offered? My car is a 1991 1700 Super Sprint 5 speed DeDion. Right-hand-drive, brought into the USA in late 2022. It has 5 Prisoner wheels, 15x6.5.

Greyhound bus used to be good for this, but I don't know that they still do shipping.

Just a note: Regardless of what a spellchecker may say, it is ALFA. This is an Italian acronym for The Anonymous Automobile Constructors of Lombardy, as I recall.
