Dutton Kit Cars and their owners
the weather post
Clocks sprung forward, the weather sprung back, tipping it down, blowing a hoolie and cold, could it be Easter is coming, all the campers are getting excited at pitching in the rain etc. I want to blast about in the B+. Looks like a day in the cave.

iv come to the conclusion it doesnt really matter what it costs in fuel. as long as you enjoy it. afterall its not like we have to use these cars for everyday use. thats why i have my million miles to the gallon pug lol

Just topped up with fuel, the tank is smaller than I thought, so now I estimate 15-18 mpg. It's on 2" S.U carbs and 3.9 cam. Gearing is a bit low, back axle, but, it certainly flies when you stir the stick :-))

Seeing as the weather was nice, I took Legerra for a little run around the area. That was the first time that I have managed to take it out since about October. It needed a new battery as the old one wouldn't hold charge when I tried recharging it. I managed to give it a good blast but it still feels a little hesitant when I stamp the pedal.
I didn't want to take it far in case it let me down. Plus the main roads were blocked with holiday traffic. The M4 and M5 were stop-go and then traffic fills all of the other routes. If I had needed the RAC then I might have been waiting hours.

That would be a present from us Northeners, welcome to our world :)
Seriously though, we had it too. I drove across to see Dave today and the weather really was patchy, glorious sunshine and then black skies and hail / snow...

I think that my old girl would love it over there. The engine is much more powerful in the colder weather. lol, She was designed for British weather.

The old girl is cured. Everything is working great now except the brakes. They require too much pedal movement so that is my next project on the old girl.
