Followed you in our Disco from Frome to Wanstrow on Friday (well only as far as Nunney really - as soon as you got some clear road after the roundabout there was no way we could keep up!)

Followed you through Bruton in my green and yellow.

B*gger - planning to join in this year - but that just happens to be the day I'm getting married - think it may be a bit difficult to move the wedding!!!

Mine lives pretty much in the next road.

Very nice 🥰 🥰 Though I notice the model in Toad's link is strategically very well placed to hide the one ugly bit of the car (the back of the back door). So maybe those are an essential accessory after all!

Waved from my merc. Not the best day for it!

Thanks Peter. Does anyone know how close the mods already done for the halfway house are to what's required for a de-dion setup? Can I just swap over?

Ok, had a look at the car, and I definitely have a full double wishbone (here) but as this picture shows, I seem to have an "old-style" lower wishbone. As mentioned above, the car is a 96 live axle, so does anyone know if its an easy conversion to the de-dion set up? Am I correct in thinking I'd need new uprights? Thanks again. James

I'd say there's quite a difference between my carbs popping (they don't any longer fortunately) and my exhaust. The carbs are much higher sound and sort of coughy, whereas the exhaust is a definite pop pop pop BANG!

My understanding is that you are chucking unburned fuel in the exhaust, but exhaust gases have used up all their oxygen in the combustion process. Let fresh air in though and suddenly there’s a source of oxygen allowing the unburned fuel to go pop. As to how fresh air can get in – I don’t know, I’d have thought that the exhaust was under higher pressure so the exhaust gases should be flowing out of your holes, rather than fresh air flowing in! Oops - just read Dave's reply after typing mine, re-read your original post and spotted that you're referring to popping on the carb side. Edited by - james xflow on 27 May 2009 16:28:55
