American Iron

 New tyres fitted - made no difference at all. On a run at the weekend, my traction control light came on far more than normal and the waywardness remains. Now, the roads were wet and the tyres are new, so maybe not scrubbed in? I turned off the traction control and didn't have any issues ie. driving into a hedge, so not really sure what is going on. I'd say maybe the shocks are losing it but then I'd expect the ride to soften, which is not happening. Maybe it is just the colder, damper weather?

The run I mentioned was a short country route to Pine Ridge golf course in Bagley (I think?), which holds a monthly classic car and hotrod meet. It was pretty small and seemed to consist mostly of 60s-80s American muscle cars, with only 1 or 2 hot rods but it was a fun run and, as always, a great bacon and egg roll:



The nicest wooden wheel I've ever seen (they are normally too spindly for me - this was pretty chunky):



A Morris Minor with supercharger - probably upped power to 60bhp?


This was the star of the show - the guy bought it like this and it was last painted 25 years ago in California, which is an amazing job:


A mere 7L engine:
