She's kind a humid....

New cooling piping, easy order: (www.oldtimer-shop.de) for 70EUR and 2 hours work, and all is replaced.

Rattling noise on bumpy roads

Always on bumpy roads or 'drempels' in the front the shock system was making a loud ratling noice.

Easy fix it appeared: two new rubbers (www.oldtimer-shop.de) for 11.70EUR and some effort to open the old shock resistors and it was done.

Change fuel filter

www.oldtimer-shop.de
New fuel filter installed with gummy to close, 6.20 EUR

Easy to do, best cut open a plastic can (5liters) and place under. As of then just un-srew and replace filter.

Her first maintenance

The first garage: Royal park in Laeken, Brussels. Together with father, the Jag went for a good service.

Fine-tuning the ignition timings, and later on also the carburetor settings and fuel usage.

Watch the leaking cooling liquid, coming out, as the cooling pipes appeared to be damaged later.

The birth

Once I was a little boy, joining a ride in a Souvereign, that you know what you want when you are big.

Here it all started... Hoboken Antwerp 2010....
