Sweet

Just to make you guys a little jealous, here’s a pair of Christmas goodies all the way from England. It helps to have a daughter that lives in London.

My Chrysler Crossfire had no spare from the factory. It came with a can of Fix-a-flat and a small compressor. No spare is not too unusual now.

Also re-do your grounds. And if that doesn’t get it, get new bulbs.

Do they have a relay in the circuit?  If not, consider adding one for each circuit (dim and bright), with the positive side fed directly from the battery with a large enough gauge wire. Locate them closer to the headlights, so there’s as little current drop as possible.

My Lafer is VW-powered so the spare is stowed up front. I’ve owned it since February 2007, and in all that time have never been stranded with a flat. Wondering lately if I might jettison the spare altogether and use the space for a small tool kit and a couple cans of Fix-A-Flat instead. Thoughts?

If you’re talking about the one that used to be held at the Vintage off 249 & Louetta, I did go to one very early on. Drool-worthy machines, but WAY out of this old newspaperman’s bracket. I have been known to visit the Niftee50s gathering from time to time. Maybe we met there.

Update to my previous post. They are not Lucas, they are Dietz headlights. But they’re still dim. 

Bill, I learned how to play years ago while recovering from a commercial airplane crash (the first 9/11 crash in 1974).  Dr’s orders if I wanted to be able to continue using my hands.  This is one of 2 in my house that I play daily.  Just over two years ago, I had 10 organs in my garage that I had repaired and was giving to various churches and ot…[Read more]

OK, let’s get back on track and try to help Brian out.Anyone have any valuation ideas beyond mine?

glad everyone likes them! Mine came too. Merry Christmas, everyone.

Neat car, still like my TD. I have the air but the roll up windows would be nice.

Me too.But…I have to give props to the Marlene. Pretty car. And it was a Classic Roadsters Ltd. product, so it’s a cousin to my Duchess!

Mine is a CMC Ford powered with the spare and luggage rack on the back. It is a real spare and I carry all sort of things on the rack, lawn chairs (bag type, coolers even a suit case if we go over night.   I looked under it and there is not much reinforcing it, just a steel bar about a foot long with the studs for the spare.    

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

It all depended on the manufacturer’s design.
