I fit in my mates spitfire, but he's got a silly oil gauge near my knee that makes me not able to use the clutch...

fit in my midget better, but i've got thin seats in it. I'm also 6'4 and 17 stone.

coolant sensor sounds like a possibility, though it's t'other way round on the K series, if the sensor is disconnected it overfuells

no rain is the most important. and no fog.

But will it stop you driving? I don't do many miles, though I have been using the 22mpg landy a lot less.... Not going to stop me until it gets so I can't eat instead of driving. I've certainly noticed people driving at 60 on the motorway rather than 70. And a lot less classics out and about than th...
