The ONLY place I have seen petrol without something like 10% ethanol in
the last few years has been in Texas. Do they still have it any place else?
My '61 TR3A runs:
- Redline synthetic oils in the overdrive gearbox and rear end.
- Valvoline synthetic 20-50 racing oil. I'd probably switch to 10-40 in
the winter but I try not to drive my 3 in the snow. That's what my Land
Rover is for.
- a high quality anti freeze formulated for aluminum engines (Aluminum
radiator)
- Synthetic grease
- Silicon brake fluid (DOT5)
I will miss 2011. Just because the numbers this year are so auspicious.
In 2011 my car is 50 years old and I have owned it for 25 years. 51 and
26 just doesn't run off the tongue as well.
