    The us election 2012 - obama or romney?

    This guys got it about right. South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham: “If I hear anybody say it was because Romney wasn’t conservative enough I’m going to go nuts. We’re not losing 95 per cent of African-Americans and two thirds of Hispanics and voters under 30 because we’re not being hard-ass...

    The us election 2012 - obama or romney?

    The Republicans are going the same way as our own Conservatives. Their core vote is dying (literally). They will have to broaden their appeal if they want to survive. Demographics. Its going to kill them off.

    Blimey! £850! Like you say, nice but not that nice. Don't think I will be bothering with Zircotec either then.

    bar stool economics

    You have hit the problem right on the head. We need to get a way from this sense of entitlement that some people have. The state should be there to help in extremis, not as a life style choice. But the piper still needs paying.

    bar stool economics

    That would be fine if the bill was only $100. But its not, the bill is in fact $300 and the bar man wants you to pay off the tab you have been running up for the last year. Who do you think should pay the most? The trouble is you're right, the very rich don't turn up. So its left to the rest...

    You might as well have jumped.

    Gentlemen, what you are watching is a civil war. Civil wars are notoriously bloody, as we all know from our relative histories, and this one no less so. People are dying every day in Syria, and like in any civil war its the innocent that are paying the heaviest price. Whatever your thoughts...

    Mirror re-silvering

    I know other guys were looking to get their rear view mirrors re-silvered. Have just had mine done at Duttons Glass and Mirrors based in Holloway Road, Birmingham (0121 622 1221). Cost £10+vat, and I'm really pleased with it. So if anyone needs anything re-silvered then try these people...

    Tornado Build - www.gt40builder.com

    Zircotec high performance coatings, ceramic coatings, engine, automotive, motorsport, exhaust manifold and header coatings. I have only tried it on exhausts, but its good stuff and the web site does say it works on copper pipe.

    Tornado Build - www.gt40builder.com

    As long as you have given it some thought and know that those things will not be going through those panels then you're good to go. Just as an after thought have you considered having your pipes ceramic coated? More expensive, but a better finish and would help control heat in the cabin.

    Opinions on an engine for sale?

    To use a Carb you will probably need an engine block pre 1986. You might get away with pre 1992 depending on the Carb. If you find one pre 1975 your laughing. Section 02B of the IVA manual I sent you.

    Opinions on an engine for sale?

    For a 97 block, you will certainly need EFI. You may get away without cats. But I don't think there is a way for a carb to pass emissions for a 97 engine. So with that engine your probably looking at about another £2000 to £2500 to get it running, not including fuel system mods.
