Everything seems to be back to front over there. Who would believe the sun in the south at mid day. Light switches upside down, north wind is cold, winter at Christmas, water flows the wrong way down a plug hole it just goes on and on. I find it very easy to lose my orientation over there coz the sun is in the wrong place.

Re: Trying to get to NZ National Meet
Another day down at the Nationals, we visited two museums today, one an ecclectic collections of toys, cars, trucks, tractors, aeroplanes and everything in between. The other a small collection of top notch vehicles including the only Duesenberg in the Southern Hemisphere. Hopefully you will find the following pictures interesting. The fire engine is a 1932 Fordson, and the shot of the gearl lever and brake handle is from a 1960 GAZ Jeep, interesting that they were still using Model A parts.

Re: Trying to get to NZ National Meet
Interesting to note that the K is RHD, just like all American cars up till the T (1908).
RHD but they still drove on the RHS of the road so the driver was in the kerb.

This is all so INTERESTING !! Seems that folks all around the WORLD enjoy the same types of stuff! Looking at Gregg's, (R.I.P, My Son) huge world map, how long is the ferry trip & what does it cost to take a car & how long does it take? I've been with AAA since 1958 & have 200 mile towing. Does AAA cover your towing just on the mainland, or on N.Z. also? That Cliffside road is a BUGGER!!! Here in Kalifornia, we have a coastal Cliffside highway #1, from Hearst Castle, in the Cambria area, on North to Carmel & Monterey areas. NOT a fast road, but a fairly good 2 lane road. VERY few places for gas & food & accommodations. You must drive it when you are here!!! GREAT pics you posted! I'm up @ 4:00 AM to P** & am still GLUED to the SPAM box! NO SPAM in my cupboard, so I'll just go fry up some BACON from my wheelchair, just learning to walk agin. Bill W.

I once owned a R.H.D. 1939 M.G. TICKFORD, with a Jaguar XK-120 engine & trans. I was able to master driving it, without any bad mishaps. The hardest thing was to master shifting with my LEFT hand! Google the car, you'll LOVE it's BEAUTIFUL HEADLIGHTS & it's HUGE "CYCLOPS" running light, in the middle. That light is adjusted by a GAV looking knob, in the dash. Pat, (R.I.P, My Darling) called me JAMES BOND, when I drove it. Bill W.

1. Folks crimp the overflow tube inside radiator to stop water from leaking out over flow. Steam can not escape fast enough as water begins to boil. If crimped partway but not closed off, Pressure builds up until it splits the tank. 2. Folks crimp overflow tube at bottom of radiator. Same same #1 3. Some put a roofing nail in the top of overflow tube. 4. Some times the fan blade strikes the overflow tube as it crosses the fin area and tube gets partially smashed shut. The overflow tube gets partially closed, as a result pressure builds up.. Service bulletins page 450 tells how Ford recommended to fix it correctly.
