Well I've actually sold my Cortina 16oo GT. Some may have seen it advertised on here. I'll be maintaining my presence on here for the forseeable future as I may have an answer to somebodies question. Just my luck that the my buyer is in Australia. He paid a lot of money to have the car professionally inspected and for him to be able to negotiate on his behalf A bit like Wayne Carini but with really good engineering knowledge. I was impressed. I have even been paid and the buyer is paying for door to door transport. The sticking point now I have learnt is the bureaucracy of the Australian authorities regarding an import permit. They have questioned a small oil drip at the back of the gear box. If it's wiped it won't show again for ages. A bit different from my Midget's A series engine. I also have to have an asbestos check done. Not sure how this will turn out. If anyone has had any experience of this awful exercise I would appreciate your help

I have signed the petition to stop the use of noise cameras.
I am not in favour of noise pollution and I know very noisy vehicles can be annoying. I am not sure how big an issue it is but I haven't heard a noisy vehicle lateley. If anyone has an issue they should report so the police can get that particular vehicle tested. It will eith pass or fail. Job done. What I am againts is the spending of millions on a disproportionate infrastructure. Governments seem good at these expensive broad brush solutions instead of facing up to the individual. If I was in charge of goverment purse strings I could think of much better ways to spend that money.
There is also a concern in the classic car world and I have read that the FBHVC have not been informed. Companies such as Morgan and TVR have offered to help but that help to my knowledge has not been accepted
