My most ambitious roadside repair was when I attended the Culzean Car Rally, quite a big event, the Carpenters were there in force. This would be in the mid 1990’s?
I had my large 1937 MG VA DHC towing our Pennine Folding camper for the family weekend accommodation.
When we were leaving the event , towing the fully loaded camper , just at the exit gate
a halfshaft snapped. But I carried a spare and within 90 mins we were back on the road going to North Berwick. Many onlookers seemed impressed at the roadside repair but none more than myself!
This was a heavy car even though it was only 1.5 litres, hence my move
to Austin’s in my declining years!!!
