Hey Josef,
Your criticism and sarcastic posts have finally arced me up to respond.=20
So - if I'm reading your posts - from somewhere back in the 1950's - you don=
't use anything that isn't in the owners manual, or the driver's handbook?
"And nothing else"
No synthetic oils?=20
No modern tires/ tyres?
No modern paint?
Is that your point? Nothing that is not in the manuals from 50 plus years ag=
o?=20

Tyres? Tires?=20
Seriously?

Mk III drivers handbook
Radial-ply tyres (Dunlop SP41)
 Tyres:
Size, 5.90 - 15 tubed.
Front, 20 lb. /sq. in
Rear, 25 lb. /sq. in
Maximum performance speeds:
increase all pressure by 5 lb./sq.in=20

So that's what you run on your Healey?

That's clearly only ok in your book if you use 1966 air. Modern air is clear=
ly not acceptable.=20
Those are your tyres?=20
Dunlop SP41

So your tyres are 50 plus years old.=20
http://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/page/dunlop-sp41
Seriously?=20
You whinge about this list every couple of years, because it's not technical=
 enough for you.=20
And yet you advocate not using oil designed or manufactured in the past 15 y=
ears?
So you run 50 plus year old tyres?
So why don't you write us a technical article advocating how oil/ tires/ tyr=
es/ batteries/ etc have not changed /improved a Healey in the past 50 plus y=
ears.=20
Do you drive your car Josef?
Seriously. You call yourself into account by criticizing people who use mode=
rn oil etc and drive their cars.=20
Write us a technical article.=20

Seriously.=20
