Seventies waftamatic: 1973 Daimler Sovereign Series One 4.2
Discussion
No hijack! All Jaaaaaaag discussions gratefully received. Twin tanks are cool! I had them on the Lotus Europa Special from which I derive my PH name. The carbs drew fuel from both tanks together, but the system involved a 10p platsic T-piece that failed one day, throwing all the petrol all over a car park.
Some of the Toffs are still there, but bear in mind that "old money" simply means that your family stopped being crims and spivs and hustlers a few generations before the new money did. Show me an aristocrat and I will show you the descendant of a successful gangster or shyster. Noblesse de l'epee, noblesse de la robe - take your pick, they all started as crooks.

Yeah I think my gauges are currently lying to me so I don't really want to play chicken with them on the m40!! ...
Kindly note that I have reserved all of the hard shoulder on both sides of the M40 between junctions 1 and 6 for the exclusive use of my collection of old knackers. Sub letting may be available at extortionate rates.Another one to make me chuffed about the cost of my heap (which has an actual MoT).

Grrrr. I got up early and went to the London car storage place where the Daimler is. It had been blocked in by the resident mechanic's broken down pimpy Range Rover, and he was nowhere to be seen. I do not use his services, as he is not very good with old cars. The storage place's owner was very apologetic, and says that he will give the dude a bking, but I had to cancel my garage booking and put it back a week. I am not chuffed.
