    I think that dipstick wiper is neat.
    I'm always pulling tissues out my pocket that are covered in oil.

          Nice, all this reminds me I really need to male a new parcel shelf for the MK1.
          Old one is out as it was all damaged and out of shape.

            Ive been open venting the crank for decades .
            This has usually been using any old bit of pipe that fits so bits of fuel pipe , bits from fish tank pumps and anything else i could find.
            So today I thought id tidy it up a bit and make it look less bodge up

                  Dave, that stamping just finishes it off I reckon, makes it look old school rather than new bits added

                      Took the Singer for probably its longest run in a year due to the lockdown.
                      Did 62 miles in total and it ran perfectly .
                      I was also great to actually see the sea for the first time in a year
                      Obviously as you do I took a few of the car
                      Then when i got home did the carpet wear mod on this as well as the Vusky …
                      Oh and when I did get home I found a Hedgehog asleep in a bag of stuff waiting to be burned

                        I thought you were going to say you brought it home. Those little critters get everywhere !

                        Lovely run.

                          Drive it day .
                          As the Vuskys clutch slave is iffy I had to use the Singer .
                          Did 69 miles to Wookey hole , across the top via Preddy and down to Cheddar , went home via the Somerset levels ( Wedmore )
                          Singer ran utterly superbly - in fact possibly the best its ever been in 34 years of ownership .
                          Coolant temp 74˚C constant - heater off as it was a warm day .…
