    Yes they are Galician - I dont know why marketed as Basque! The "tomahawk" is a bit of a gimmick - it looks impressive but its basically a bone in rib-eye with extra bone. Appeals to cavemen and E9 drivers apparently. Disagree over the pepper, but as for the rest I bow to your superior steak...

    Very nice DeQ. Tomahawks were around 1.2kg each from 15yr old cows from Northern Spain (sold as Txuleta here). Salt pepper heat and Barolo

    Testing Thermostat Functionality

    Thermostat sure does look to be wide open but since you've replaced it you can strike off the list! Have you been for a drive since it was changed ie not just idling? If still overheating, bleeding the system cant hurt though I dont think an airlock would cause symptoms you describe. Note your...

    Dual to Single Circuit Braking System

    Thanks @day66 - for the less technically minded what exactly is stainless steel sleeving - presume an anti-corrosion measure? Also thanks Michael for Johns email - Ill see what he has available.

    Dual to Single Circuit Braking System

    Im on the verge of sending both servos off for a costly rebuild so this is interesting. This alternative seems to maintain the dual circuit system but simplify the plumbing - correct?

    Speedo drive

    Congratulations - it looks fantastic. At first glance I thought you'd black chromed the beltline trim but realise its just a trick of the lighting. Not for purists perhaps, but black trim against the white (Chamonix?) paint it would look very sharp with the black wheel centres and grilles.

    Zenith intake manifold repair?

    HI Edmil - I might give them a call but did they attach the tube on to the stub of the broken pipe or insert and weld from the inside? Mine has broken off flush to the casing so I'm thinking the latter is only opton

    Zenith intake manifold repair?

    thanks for checking Erik. If I ever need the right hand side I know who to call! Seems its a fairly common failure but unless anyone knows of a spare I guess I'll be going down the trusty brass tube route!

    Zenith intake manifold repair?

    Wasn't it just. It bears repeating - this community and forum is indeed fantastic! My mechanic said best he could find was a complete manifold plus carbs for hundreds of euros. Instead, one post on this forum and I have a possible solution (in fact two) in just a few hours, for postage and...

    That Miura from the Original Italian Job Movie

    One of mine too. Can almost forgive his terrible crooning over the sound of that glorious V12. My other favourite if you like lots of engineering chat, metal fabrication, 3D printing and top notch restoration / restomodding is Retropowercars. The series of videos documenting Gordon Murray's...

    I'm definitely up for a London meet. I'm north side (Barnet). Rarely drive into London these days but I thought there was a charge exemption for classic cars over 40 years?
