Gosh oh golly, I bought a Dolly.

I still love this car but am juggling with fleet numbers and priorities so I might, just might, try to sell it. I am not sure yet. The day of the 10K Sprint can not be far off.

Dolomite News: Both of the rubber carb mounts have sheared off at the manifold. At present the car is still running because of cable ties and bathroom silicone sealant. Bodge-a-rama! I am in north Norfolk for daughter related reasons. Rimmer's will deliver two new mountings today so that I can drive the car back to London later on. At present it is OK for local trips but I would not want to take it on a long journey. The air leaks are making it rather slow.

I once bought some metal mountings for the carbs, but lost these in my shed of doom.

Yup. Cable ties, tape, wire, WD40, mole grips, big hammers, all that stuff. Bodging is brill.

The car now has new carb mounts and is rather happier.

PS: no need to buy Easy Start if your car needs that on winter mornings - use a deodorant spray - it's got butane in it.

Duff batteries apart, the Dolly usually starts first go on the choke.

I have spotted some blisters at the front edge and in one leading edge. Hmmmmm.

I have decided to sell the Dolly. Too many cars!

There's an ad for it here on PH in the classified.section.

Any 70s steel car can become a rustbucket if you let it. This one had a body off restoration about five years ago.

Sold!

The alleged purchaser turned out to be a time waster, so the car is still mine and still for sale.

The car was only there in the morning, as then it went to north Norfolk for school play viewage. The tree is now up but as yer unadorned.

I like this car a lot but it is still for sale!

Thin tyre SNOFUN!

That reminds me I had better jet wash the underbits.

[anonymous-user]

I will give it a bath maybe.

The Dolomite started first time with full choke this morning and over the weekend. It fogs up a bit. The heater is ok but not super hot. I wear a coat and gloves in the car. The screen washers are rubbish.

These carb mountings were fitted in September after the old ones split, and on Christmas Eve the new ones split. Fixed with cable ties.
