You'd no need to 'pluck up courage' Ian, you'd have been quite welcome! I have just spent a couple of days visiting a friend 'down sowf', which gave me the opportunity to give 1274 a 'proper' exercise since my clutch/gearbox work. A nice trouble free drive of some 380 miles round trip. It's great to plant your foot to the floor and get acceleration even when already travelling at speed down the motorway (to a maximum of 70mph of course) The enjoyment marred only by the continuous battle to keep in a straight line as the NS wheel pulls to the left - a fault hopefully soon to be rectified, after hours of unsuccessful machining work, with new bits from Houston....
