Failed to proceed
Yesterday for the first time my car failed to proceed (as Rolls Royce used to say instead of 'broken down'). It was a simple matter involving the throttle cable and believe it or not it was fixed with the aid of a young women who, shall we say was barely clothed, down on her luck and somewhat the worse for drink or drugs or both, but who insisted she knew about these things! I'm not very good at solving logical problems but once Identified took no time at all to fix. Having done so my onward journey was the subject of numerous videos and cars pulling alongside to see what the heck I was driving. Mind you my headgear may have had something to do with that.What's the saying attributed to Groucho Marks @I'd never join any club that would have me as a member. Too late - see below…
Sorry to hear that Alex but glad you got going again. I was coming back from France in my T24 last week (from the Circuit Historique in Laon - absolutely brilliant) in that very hot weather when the temperature was about 30-32c. We were diverted off the M1 round Luton because of a crash and was in heavy traffic on a ring road. It was really uncomfortable and Lord knows what temperature the engine was at without the flow of air round it on the motorway. Whatever it was, it was enough for the rev counter to give up and not return for the rest of the journey of another 130 miles to home.
I fully expected to find something melted but surprisingly when I came to clean the (now cool) car the next day the rev counter happily came back to life and has worked since. I would be interested if anyone can explain what might have happened.
