    It's front wheel drive and they might be spinning while scrabbling for grip?

    Not unusual for FWD cars to 'cock' an inside rear wheel when cornering hard - Golf GTi's were well-known for it, for example. No weight on the wheel = it stops turning.

    Love your Series 1 Jonboy. Wish I still had my 80" - such fun with the tilt off and screen folded down. Mine was a '52 and no locks of any kind - I bought 10 foot of heavy chain and a big padlock and always parked next to a lamp post or railing! Must be great with the V8 in it... let me know if you ever think of selling...

    Cheers Alex, i had an 80 inch fitted with a Essex v6 25 years ago and was sorry to let it go, yes no door locks fitted just got a steering wheel lock and a ignition isolator fitted for a bit of security, manage to pick up a truck cab the other week so will be fitting that soon for the winter months, might be a tad warmer inside as well

    Good luck with your rebuild

    For pure speed it's got to be a bike, get on a track day and forget all them limits!

    Bugger! Typical how things catch you out. I bought a timing belt and tensioner kit for my ancient (but good) VW Golf diesel estate. But now I can't fit it. My back is giving me problems and I can't stay bent over more than five minutes without seizing up. It's an easy enough job, but I suppose now I'll have to get the local workshop to fit it. Bum and double Bum!

    Unless your name is Sabrina Schmidt. I rate her timed run around the Nürnberg ring in a Ford transit van the most hair raising drive ever on Top Gear. And she passed a bike or two on her record setting lap.

    She was utterly compelling viewing driving that Transit around the ring. Not hard to look at, either.
