(Eyes glaze over...) It was a 1966 mini cooper s, in the days before minis took off again in the early 90s. It would be worth a fortune if I had kept it, but it was well worn by 1987 anyway. I smashed the front end the second day I had it and my dad leathered me within an inch of my life! He put a glass fibre front end on it and connected the wiring by way of a caravan power socket so I could take the front end off completely. The 1275 block was replaced by a 1380 with omega pistons, and I used the cooper s steel rods and steel crankshaft. By the time I sold it she had a Jack Knight staight cut gearbox, kent 276 cam, 1.5 highlift roller rockers and a Longman stage 3 head. The carb was a single 45 webber and I cut an airbox into the bulkhead and made it out of a steel drawer from a filing cabinet. Janspeed 3-1 manifold, janspeed exhaust and an aldon dizzy with luminition. about 98bhp @ the wheels so 108 at the flywheel through a comp clutch and the JK box. Insurance was about £285 for the year which was a fortune in those days. Sold it to a chinese bloke from Helensburgh who smashed it the day he bought it. Ahh, the days before forced induction and ecu's........................................... Used to pour methanol into the tank to make it go quicker, it would pop and splutter like a bugger but did no harm apart from scorch the plugs..............................Memories, Ill need to look out my old photo album...............................

TBO, it was more than his life was worth to pee his seat, however, upon completing the journey and upon inspection of his seats during a swap of his and mine, there was a few suspect stains, amidst the other suspect marks, eh Grant???

Okay, according to the LP sleeve, and bear in mind someone spewed on it at a party in 1985, the lyrics should go..... "Im going to hit the highway like a battering ram, on my silver black phantom bike..." But the big chap doesnt sing that..............

Right, enlighten me Jamie because hes no buying a scooby, because in those days all he would have got was a 1600 AWD pickup, and I cannot see a hells Angel travelling on a bus

This one is aimed at the generation I belong to, and Ive pondered over this one for years........ Im having a quiet night in, couple of bottles of a cheeky little californian Chardonnay and my old LP collection. If Meatloaf, in his song Bat out of Hell, is going to hit the highway like a bat out of hell, then why the blazes is he going to sell his Black Phantom Bike?? Quote "Im going to hit the highway like a bat out of hell, Im going to sell my black phantom bike.........." Anyone?? Callum "Dave Lee Travis" W

Bo**ocks! Your all wrong. STI RA = Subaru Transfusion Intravienusly Real Animal- of which I need a daily transfusion, once getting it I HAVE to travel at warp factor 9 and touch the red line at least twice. I then Lie in a darkened room for an hour listening to dump valves mateing. Never, I repeat never, allow me to participate in this kind of thread............................

To turn the engine without starting, unplug the crank sensor, its the wee sensor on the plastic cover thats on the front of the block at the right hand side below your aircon pump, unclip, turn the engine a few times, replug, start car, jobs a good un!! Callum
