I can solder on if you wish

My wife got mad because I kicked some ice cubes under the Kelvinator. But it's all water under the fridge now.

http://www.mossmotoring.com/prince-darkness-joseph-lucas/ "Lucas was integral to the war effort in World War II with their automotive electrical systems adapted for use in almost every manner of military vehicle and they took a major role with Rover working on the fuel and combustion systems on the Whittle jet engine for the Gloster E28/39 (the first British jet airplane to fly). In the 50s, the company continued to supply automotive electrical components and also moved into the new field of semiconductors. For much of the 50s and 60s, Lucas automotive components were the world standard and found use in cars as diverse as Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Aston-Martin, Austin, MG and Triumph. Lucas built components were simple, durable, easy to repair and reliable. What happened? Mainly the passage of time; when the cars were new they were as reliable as any other new car – including the electrical systems – but decades of use, storage and a succession of previous owners whose understanding of electrical systems was limited to screwing in light bulbs have taken a toll on the reputation of Joseph Lucas and his later products. Curse his ghost if you must, but the man was long since dead before any of our beloved sports cars were built." All old neglected cars have troubles. My Landrover will get you home after dark from anywhere in Tas. Including places a fancy pants Cayenne wouldn't dare to go.

Never been a problem , amigo! Good god no. But with climate change migrants we might start a new tax ,as well as the proposed exit tax for freeloading grey nomads.

Luckily I can take the old overland packhorse route...and have the land to keep horses (other than the iron ones)

Strong and fighting words , comrade! We shall ride together against this evil

Faark you're right! https://mozo.com.au/insurance/car-insurance/guides/black-box-car-insurance But lots of people will bend over & pick up the soap for this kind of "offer"

The really great thing is that there will be a choice of at least 4 voices telling you to slow down. Constance? Penelope?Roger?Gerald? That and piped induction noise even with EVs. The future is bleak...for some

Built for English Captains of Industry, bang on jolly good show old chap! They require eons of commitment to bring back to life. Certain parts NLA. Rodents are what make a barn find. Seen 100s of rat infested Porsches online! They won't go near a Big Cat I can assure you.

But you may welcome this with loving arms. Insurance companies will be slobbering at the prospect. "Widespread changes to vehicle safety throughout the European Union look set to require manufacturers to include a number of features in every new car, including a black box-style data recorder and intelligent “speed assistance” pushing drivers to stick to posted limits. The same technology could come to Australia under the vehicle “type approval” process which requires cars sold locally to meet the same minimum standards held in Europe and other markets — a Volkswagen or Mercedes sold in Australia is largely the same as its overseas cousin."

The only issue I have found is reverse parking or backing down a long driveway. Well certainly with a car with no P/S. But if you are comfortable steering with your left hand and looking behind over your right shoulder there should be no problem. I suspect though it will be difficult for most. Other than that , LHD becomes just another pair of running shoes.

All 3 of my sons have driven the '78 LHD 911 on twisty roads and at encouraging speeds; they barely batted an eyelid. As a passenger I wasn't the least bit fazed , but then again I have a calm disposition. And competent offspring. YMMV.

He probably thinks all Porsche owners are wankers . Being from Tullah , it's very likely perform the bodywork on that Russian Bad Experience 911 with his bare hands. Those Jags are great cars if you can afford to repair them.

Honest!

Already in Tas? Otherwise it will have to go through pits here. Unless they have changed rules.
