The speedo on my LR went out last year and they are easy to trouble shoot. You might get kind of oily, though.

1)You’ll need to remove the grease cap from the front hub. Make sure the hole in the grease cap is nice and square.It’s made out of very hard steel, so it probably will be. If it’s rounded, replaced it.

2)While still attached to the…[Read more]

That ain’t even bad though. We gotta do it.

It’s 540 miles to La Posada Hotel in Winslow, AZ. If you’re in a hurry, that’s your first overnight stop. It’s worth the stop.

We will try driving as much of route 66 as we can starting from Santa Monica Ca which is the beganing or the end of 66? I believe?? This will be my last big ride (trip) so will make the most of it and see what is left of the old country , before it’s all gone as parts of it are already gone now!! Still planning the route right now.

Thank you for…[Read more]

I’ve got a TDR with a modern 2.2L Chevy engine. I use her as a daily driver here in SoCal so I use the freeways all the time. 70 MPH is more comfortable than a bike but less than an enclosed car. On the other hand get used to getting your picture taken and the waves and honks.

My brother tours all over the world on his Honda Goldwing.…[Read more]

Welcome aboard.

Cliff,

Welcome!

I have a 1641 VW in my TDr and drive on the interstates as needed without trouble although I stay in the right lane unless passing slower traffic. But… I do not enjoy this much at all  and much prefer driving the smaller roads and taking  in the true USA. If you make a plan I think the trip is as much the idea as the d…[Read more]

edsnova – yes my bows are as you have described the basic two bows made from marine grade tubing. I am just thinking it would be nice to somehow replicate the ability to take them apart like the MGB bows pictured above.

ScubaSteve – My current top is supposed to be white but is more like a grey from age. MG Magic can give you the tub dimensions…[Read more]

Took another look, the first (Bogert’s) and last (Kreidersville) bridges on the tour are pedestrian traffic only.

So there is a minor backtrack to get to my place, putting me about 9 miles away, not 6.

That looks SO nice! 😀 I’ve always thought tonneau covers look cool 😎 . Is your top also black? I’ve thought about getting one for my London Roadster. But the LR’s seem to be a little differently dimensioned than other TDr’s so I’m not sure about the fit.

Yours DOES look good!

I’ve never seen a place made to be able to do that, on purpose anyway. Drove a ’69 Toyota Corona across the rocky shallows of a river once with a couple girls on the roof to get across to a gathering of people with 4X4’s. I’m seldom that brave but the water only reached into the floor of that little car and I had the extra weight to help…[Read more]

Didn’t see any Fords either. Just a Subaru, and a couple of other cars. No Ford. BUT…I did see a Fjord.

Thanks for the clarification, Paul.

I gotta say…regarding that ford…I did not see any sports cars in the video.

The TDr bows are simpler than that: lightweight aluminum tube and clamps and hinges from a boat supply place. Basically it’s the same stuff they use on bimini tops. You can mount them so they fold down inside the tub.
