sorry boys this thread is useless without some video...

It just means it has to be renamed after trump is thrown out of office. Books with Gulf of America will become collector items.

CECOT is closer and cheaper.... unless they row themselves there. Row you fuckers and be thankful the captain doesn't want to water ski after lunch.

And Iran? Who named that country. I say we rename that whole country to Magastan.

It’s apparently just a fuck you to Mexico for no reason. I think MAGA thinks the United States of America and America are the same thing. Though the only reason for this is to baggage their hubris so I guess job well done. Maybe they should also change Gulf of California to “Gulf of America 2” and the Hormuz Straight to the “America Bend”

I'm still here! Wow, almost 6 months have passed. I check in most weeks but haven't posted an update. I still have the plucky little 1200 and it's running great. So good in fact, it hasn't broken down once while both our other 'reliable' cars from 2013 and 1999 have had their issues. I get a kick out of taking the old girl to regular life stuff instead of just car meets. I usually get a wave or two and a story from the older generation. Here's what's going well: - It starts strong on full choke and settles into a steady fast idle on about 1/3 choke. Cold engine driveability is surprisingly good. That said, we had a hot summer this year so the real test is about to come. - The steering and front wheel alignment are straight and true. I ended up making minor adjustments to the tie rods and that fixed it. - The oil consumption has improved with much less visible smoke. It doesn't like slow moving traffic as I saw puffs just off idle after about 10 minutes of slow driving. - External oil leaks are largely dealt with and the engine has stayed looking clean. These still need attention: - I haven't investigated the turn signal cancelling function. - The exhaust system could be replaced in the future. It's a bit drone-y at freeway speeds and it rattles in the hanger at the rear. I think at one point in it's life the muffler separated from the central pipe as there's some pretty booger welds down there. The muffler is also angled weirdly. Normally I use premium 98 octane fuel (93/94 in US), but I tried regular 91 octane (87 in US) on a whim to test an internet theory. The first tank went fine. There was no performance penalty and it might've even driven better. The real surprise was the fuel economy was better on regular than premium. I was not expecting that. For example, I get 8.9 L/100km or 26.4 MPG on premium. That first tank got me 7.9 L/100km or 29.8 MPG. Solid result. However, the second tank came with issues. I still can't pinpoint what the cause was but the car drove as if it was starved of fuel. It was leaning out everywhere. I had to drive home with the choke partially on just to enrich it enough to leave from a standstill. I couldn't drive at full freeway speeds as it couldn't get enough fuel. I parked it when I got home and left it a couple weeks. When I came back for another drive, the problem had gone. It came back in a lesser way a week or two later, then never returned. I drained the fuel tank and it didn't look like it was full of junk. Because of that experience, I went back to 98 and haven't had an issue. With the current fuel shortages, 91 runs out first and 98 is usually available, so I'll likely just stick with it until things settle down and I can try my experiment again. In related news, I have acquired another project. You can read about it here: https://p15-d24.com/topic/63565-lachlans-1938-chrysler-royal-c-18-sedan/ I've had pressure applied by my lovely wife to sell the little Datsun, but I'm really having trouble bringing myself to do it. It brings a smile to my face and a sense of satisfaction every time I drive it, especially when it's to run an errand to fix one of the other modern/reliable/safe/better cars. I guess those Datsun engineers really knew what they were doing.

All the shit talking you do about Trump, and now you want to blow him. You got just the lips for the job, he will be so happy.
