Still haven't put the new fuel pump on the yet. I figured out what that weird patch wire was for, it's a bypass. There's probably a short somewhere in the original loom and instead of fixing it they drilled a hole in the firewall and ran a new wire directly to the fuel pump. There's even a twist at the fuse block for a cutoff switch. 🙄

While researching my new car I found this groovy '70s slideshow that describes the fuel injection system in detail.

Highlight of this morning's and was this scruffy . Originally a car, the owner pulled it out of a barn in and has been restoring the oily bits. 1600 pancake motor with twin carbs. He's leaving the patina intact for now, which is fine by me!

Welcome to the OLDEST flying in the World! This 1911 Blériot XI was manufactured approximately 3 months prior to that held at Old Rheinbeck, New York, USA. This aircraft is part of the Shuttleworth Collection based on the grass airfield at Old Warden, , . It is fitted with a three-cylinder 'fan configuration' air-cooled Anzani engine. Due to the significance of this XI , its flights are strictly limited to straight 'hops' down the length of the grass at Old Warden, during certain public events.

@SamNantes Je ne trouve rien. Je veux un rabat avec boutons pressions parce que quand il pleut, je ne mets pas le zip pour que ca respire . Et une poche intérieure.
Si je pouvais reprendre exactement le même modèle, je n'hésiterais pas, mais elle ne se fait plus. La mode, ca fait chier.

Mine's a '74 Westfalia. Longest relationship I've ever been in. Most expensive too.

I was with Manchester band . Got into VW in the late '80s. Moved to the in 2002. Got into (digital & ). Been doing occasional photo exhibitions since 2013 - mostly of abandoned croft houses:

Still play and build high performance VW engines in my workshop by the sea.

Here mostly to share photos and memories from my time with the band.

In 1959 you could buy a coffee maker for your Volkswagen Beetle.

Someone had obviously looked at the rear-engined, swing axle car and decided they wanted a cup of hot cup of coffee mere inches from their crotch.
