We had a hot rod show today...well a Show & Shine at the high school.I'm not into Camaros and Mustangs...or '64 chevs with 22in chrome wheels - I look for right hand drive and black number plates.The was a 1955 Willys custom,never seen one,but it was NZ new,completely original down to the paint...nice.Car of the day for me was a Bradford,sort of a custom restoration - metallic purple,chrome radiator,polished alloy on the engine,nice tray.I'll put up a photo soon. There was a nice Morris 8 Sports,and the guy was looking for a klaxon horn.I'm a hoarder and never throw anything away...but Dodgy has been making me feel guilty about hanging on to treasures I'll never use.So I sold my horn.He was very happy....and I get to be happy about that,getting paid for something that hasn't been used for 15 years. I came away with some tomato plants - Black Prince,Black Cherry,Brown Brandy Wine and Snowball.Should be interesting what they are like.
I would have bought the horn for my '64 Motu, I only have a repro one for it
I would have bought the horn for my '64 Motu, I only have a repro one for it ask him nicely and you might get some tomatoes... See Paul in Kapiti is selling his bikes due to " crossroads in life".... including his Mk 2
I was going to make a resistor so I could run it on 12v,but the idea only resurfaced once every 3 1/2 years - now you can get cheap 12v klaxon horns,so why bother.Wish I had a Morrie 8 Sports I could get all anal over.....
I'm going to have to ring Paul in Kapiti, those bikes are like the son's he never had.
He talks them down a bit - but I've seen both,and they are really nice bikes.
