Dad and I went for a drive today. We packed a lunch, put the dog in the mini and tottled over to Patonga... I drove of course
We sat and had lunch on the beach, and got some hot chips from the fish and chip place there. Was lovely
Went for a walk up and down the beach, and someone elses dog followed us all the way. They thanksed us for walking their dog when we came back t the car.
Just as we were about to leave, a man came up to the car, and started talking. He also has a mini, and I told him about here, and he says he knows of it but doesnt get the time, so I told him to sign up when he gets the time.
Leaving, the guy watched us drive away. So dad tole me to go fast..... See where I get my bad driving habits from
Was a nice drive home.
I parked it on the front lawn to let it cool down so I could go check the oil and radiator later.
Dad came out with me to help me, and gave me a lesson on the engine and how it works and what not.
We tightened a few nuts and bolts. So now it shouldnt leak oil (or at least as much as it was).
Also, even after a short drive it used to smell like petrol fumes in the cabin area. It doesnt now.
We took it for a quick drive, and it sounds alot better, much less rough. And doesnt smell, and feels smoother.
Something dad noticed when looking at the back drums, was that there are two fuel lines..... meaning it may have had a rght hand tank?
Did 67 deluxes have a right hand tank? I thought because it used to be raced that the right hand tank may have been taken out to make it lighter, and it wouldnt have been needed.
Now after all the complaining dad has done about the mini, he says he might drive it to work on monday, because it doesnt stink like petrol in the cabin now
