Brett MasonCar club was supposed to visit RAAF Amberley Heritage Museum today but 2 days ago they cancelled because of war games on now. Because a joint military exercise with 19 different countries wasn’t known about when we booked a couple of months ago! So just coffee then the pub! <a href="https://bne.social/tags/WeirdCar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WeirdCar</a> <a href="https://bne.social/tags/ClassicCar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ClassicCar</a>

Brett MasonIn the seemingly futile quest to stem the oil flowing from the Exxon Valdez AKA Mk 1 Escort, the gearbox is out so it can have its seals done. Engine is almost ready but it’s taken a while as at every turn more parts are needed and must be procured from afar. <a href="https://bne.social/tags/WeirdCar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WeirdCar</a> <a href="https://bne.social/tags/ClassicCar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ClassicCar</a> <a href="https://bne.social/tags/WeirdCarMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WeirdCarMastodon</a>

💐 🏖 🌺 𝕂𝕚𝕂𝕚<a href="https://mastodon.social/@Tiezep" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@Tiezep</a> I think it’s quite straightforward. Probably not very expensive. Fortunately, for these engines that are basically from the 1950’s or 1960’s, so many have been sold in various iterations that part availability is not usually a problem.The engine is virtually indestructible if maintained.The membrane that eventually leaks (after 31 years in this case) is just a piece of silicone or rubber housed inside the component shown.<a href="https://mas.to/tags/WeirdCar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WeirdCar</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/SMOGtest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SMOGtest</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/ClassicCar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ClassicCar</a>

💐 🏖 🌺 𝕂𝕚𝕂𝕚The 01/1994 K1500 was in for SMOG testing. Sadly, it failed because of the 31 year old EGR valve, so it will need a repair and retest. 😞Under the hood, we discovered the neighborhood squirrels had been busy eating the sound deadener and having a little feast on top of the engine. Fortunately, no chewed wires or pipes. 😮‍💨<a href="https://mas.to/tags/ChevroletK1500" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ChevroletK1500</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/WeirdCar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WeirdCar</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/ClassicCar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ClassicCar</a>

The outside color is not my preferred. . The inside material is not my preferred. . The mileage is a bit on the high side.The high mileage is nothing to these, even in gasoline guise, if properly maintained, but it just adds an element of uncertainty that takes it outside of my comfort zone.<a href="https://mas.to/tags/WeirdCar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WeirdCar</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/MercedesBenzW124" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MercedesBenzW124</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/YoungTimer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#YoungTimer</a>

💐 🏖 🌺 𝕂𝕚𝕂𝕚<a href="https://mas.to/@serichards" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@serichards</a> I was disappointed that they didn’t get it out on the road. Running for a a minute like that in a garage won’t get anything warmed up to operating temperature.

He posted a video attempting to portray himself as a self-made man with no “rich” parents to help — he graduated from Emory University with no debt, so that’s $250K right there. 🤔 Also, he was good, whereas all other freelance writers are bad. All of them. 😳He eventually admits some “luck” was involved. 🤦‍♂️<a href="https://youtu.be/Xg8lDKsqJfY?si=fD5xVeLbzhL1uQTy" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/Xg8lDKsqJfY?si=fD5xVeLbzhL1uQTy</a>

💐 🏖 🌺 𝕂𝕚𝕂𝕚<a href="https://weird.autos/@BitchinRob" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@BitchinRob</a> in my dreams! 🤣 Closest I ever got was driving a Citroën Ami Super, the version that got the 1,015 ‪cm³‬ flat four boxer that was originally intended for the GS, but it was decided that it was underpowered for the GS, so they used them up in a “top of the range” version of the Ami.Famously advertised in France as capable of 140 km/h (87 mph). Not bad for a 2CV “upgrade”. 😜 <a href="https://mas.to/tags/WeirdCar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WeirdCar</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Citro%C3%ABnAmiSuper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CitroënAmiSuper</a>
