Tool Roll Q's

[Stuart Giles]

I only carry a basic toolkit, but do carry fuel hose, jubilee clips, electrical wire, MIG wire, a spare fan belt, plugs, condenser, and since my car developed a massive misfire and died in the middle of the Warwick one way system on the way to the 2005 Austin centenary rally, a spare coil. Couldn't be sure of the exact problem at the time, so I changed the condenser with traffic (including half a dozen A7s) driving past skimming my backside. Still no go, so the fault had to be the coil for which I didn't carry a spare. Thankfully, are enquiring from the several bystanders who had gathered, I was given some directions and walked my dog to a proper (Lucas branded) car spares place, getting there just before closing time. Bought and fitted the new coil, so Billy Boy and I could get on our way again.

Billy Boy and I did get to relax once we arrived to Cofton Park though.
