I got to drive and tinker with a 1929 Bentley 6 1/2 litre open top tourer. Its a customers pride and joy and he wanted to take it to a show at the weekend but it was misfiring and taking a lot of cranking to fire up. The boss asked me to look at it partly because I am the only one old enough to know what a magneto is and I am the only one with a set of Whitworth and BA tools, I fitted new spark plugs and retimed it. Of course it needed a test drive and someone had to do it It was hell and I suffered in the sunshine

I did stall it twice though kept forgetting the clutch and brake pedals are reversed from a modern day motor.

Sounds like that was the toughest part of the work day!

As far as the "old school" controls, try driving a vehicle that has the points advance and throttle in the center of the steering wheel (and a limited hand-clutch on the gear shifter)
 

Pics man, where are the pics????
 
Never heard of that brand before. With what we have to settle for here in the states, that would probably knock me on my a$$.

Its 4.1% alchohol so easy to drink. I prefer beers around 4% to 5% anything more is too much and leads to wobbly knee syndrome, anything less is like drinking water out of the cats bowl.

I am pretty sure you could get hold of it in the US but it would possibly have to be mail order from a specialist beer seller. Try the link I put up to the Timothy Taylors website they might have links to a US importer.
 
Happy that my daughter arrived safe and sound in Tokyo Japan and headed off to Osaka by train, her first trip overseas by herself to see some concerts....and the scenery.

And as a goalkeeper for my Lacrosse team I scored a goal from the defensive end of the field today when the opposition goalie strayed too far from his goal!
