Twas the day before Halloween
and down through the street
went Big Jim in his jaguar
up high in his seat
his smile was wide
his glow was bright
as he prepared to drive
that jaguar all night
he knew he had to
hide that car away soon
to preserve if from eggs
thrown by goblins and goons
so out of sight he shifted
down the highway with care
to park in his garage
where he stands and stares

Congratulations… love those sounds.
Is there a British/UK term for the side view mirror(s) mounted to the door window frame? I rather fancy the look, and imagine they must be more effective than the wing-mounted ones.

Here they call them clamp on mirrors…
I had the carbs set up last week by the guy that refurbished them . It now runs sweet . Motorway blast today . I found the gearbox a joy and no need to double declutch if changing leisurely. Brakes good , pulled up quick, straight and predictable . At some high speed cruising ( I won’t say what ) the speedo was about 10% over what the sat nav said which is about the same as on modern cars . No shaking ,rattling or wandering . It drives much better than I expected . I haven’t plucked up any courage to push it hard into corners yet . Still a few jobs on the list to sort out , but very pleased.
