Which are surely some of the charms of LBC ownership? We live today in a far
too specific
world. We demand total accuracy. Nothing less than perfection will suffice.
When it comes to owning and driving any LBC worth its salt that's 30 plus years
old, a
vague approximation of what is going on at any given time is as much as we
should
reasonably aspire to or expect. In my case, I have an approximately running
engine -
sometimes its all six, more usually five, on odd occasions it drops to four.
But that's
not new - it was an i'erent fault in 1970 as well so why should I worry?
