G'Day,

Oh yes, what fun we had back in the 70's - at the drive in with three people squashed across the front two seats of a friends Mini with my then girlfriend and me in the back seat going for it - if you know what I mean :lol: ..........Yes folks, it is possible to do the deed while eating pop corn, pretending to watch the movie and still not spill a drop of anybodys bottle of coke :wink: which was in glass bottles.

Cheers and beers

I think the Old Digger had fun before he got to be an old fart.

Some of us "Old Farts" are still having fun, just that we do it a lot slower than we did when we were younger.... :D

Haven't slowed up.....still only takes 2 minutes..... :shock:

That boy of mine is getting an education here......

We're off on a Mini Run on Sunday, but I have this problem....only started yesterday, see if any of you blokes can figure it out....
At idle no drama.....as the speed increases the Oil Pressure gauge shows excess pressure like up near 90 somewhere, and that red idiot light in the Clubbie Speedo gauge starts to ****** like mad...If I throw it back into neutral, so the revs come off, the flicking stops as the Oil Pressure gauge reads lower.....So is it related to the Gauge....Have I got a dicky gauge?...needs replacing I know as JAM pointed out to me it has the plastic tube and not copper....
Am I right in assuming this is all Gauge related, or have I got something else wrong with the beastie....
Cheers
Jon.....The Old Fart....
