Over the last two weekends I have been on two distinctly different rallies with the common theme running through them, my inability to diagnose simple faults.<\/p>\n

First off the Veteran Car Club’s 1 & 2 Cylinder Rally. \u00a0As the Sizaire is still waiting for a new front axle I pressed the 1914 Douglas into service, well that was the idea. \u00a0The first day was spent going everywhere other than that listed in the directions to the point that I covered 50Km for a 30Km run and never arrived at the destination. \u00a0Day two I had a cunning plan to follow a reliable car only to be foiled by the Dougy failing to proceed from the car park as it was backfiring and had an ominous intermittent knock emanating from the bowels of the engine.<\/p>\n \n
