Mike Supersport Holmes has gone Water Cooled
Mike's certainly gone and done it now!
He's gone WATER COOLED, Yes you heard it here first!
He's gone Britsh and bought himself an MG Midget, I'm sure he will tell you the rest once he knows his secret is out.
He has also ordered a new trilby, Sheepskin overcoat, leather driving gloves and shoes and for the passenger flying goggles.
Feel free to abuse him with your replies.
Regards
Mark S

Re: Mike Supersport Holmes has gone Water Cooled
Nice one Mike,
I take it you can reach the pedals on this one!
Come on then I know you’re itching to tells us “how rare” is this one, I know if you look underneath there’s a serial number----------------------- its next to the word Matchbox!
Look forward to seeing it on the 4th

Re: Mike Supersport Holmes has gone Water Cooled
It's not quick enough to require brakes
My Raleigh Chopper had bigger brake pads on it.
Service kit will be cheap, Pifco fit a bigger motor in their hairdryers

Well that’s cheap motoring! The other good thing about these cars is you can double the value – by filling the tank up with fuel
Yes I know it's an old one - the joke not Mike
