Mike Supersport Holmes has gone Water Cooled

Post by 911smark »

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

I suspect he will, but looks like the half shaft didn't :(
Had my fill of British cars years ago :wink: (mind you wouldn't say no to a new Jag XFS)

Nice one Mike,

Look forward to seeing it on the 4th :wink:
Cheers

It's not quick enough to require brakes :D My Raleigh Chopper had bigger brake pads on it.

Service kit will be cheap, Pifco fit a bigger motor in their hairdryers :roll:

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 :wink:
Yes I know it's an old one - the joke not Mike :?:
