I was just rummaging around in my photobucket and found a video of my MG TA so thought might be worth starting a thread.
I'll get a better one next time I have it out, maybe without the dodgie gear change on the crash box.

Great thread! Some amazing vids on youtube, but won't post 'cos I don't want to take this off topic.

Old Landy running on 3 cylinders (it was using the 4th cylinder to mash up an intake valve). Drove it a good few miles like this...About 30 seconds in.

3 Cylinder diesel landy

In a similar vain:

Stag running on coolant

My Triumph Stag after it decided it would add coolant to the more normal air/fuel mix.

Landy after we put a rebuilt engine in it...

How it should sound

Lots of wind noise, but you can still hear the engine somewhat.

An 80s MG with a twistwink .




























It's not my video, so please bear in mind that my friend got one language wrong - for Spanish, read Italian - and there are more messages than the video shows... The car - a left hand drive R-series 1600 - is unique in the UK, and was originally sold new in Germany.

Erroneous messages are, thankfully, rare (but sadly not extinct wink ).

The drive-past doesn't sound too bad either, but that can wait for another time smile ...

I never realised it was so easy to upload iPhone video to YouTube.

Here's a clip of my '72 after a little work over winter. First drive of the year so far and nothing seems to have fallen off yet.
