Cranking power v size of battery is something else :shock:
I'll second Tony's comments, the Optima batteries are fantastic. Well worth the money.

Looks like the poor old girl is in need of some TLC. Do you know if the missing parts are all there? Unusual modification for the voltage stabiliser and the Karmann Ghia looks like a good fins as well.

Hi Tony,

Definitely not a good sight, and yes hopefully all involved are safe and dry. The one good thing is that a car can be repaired, the same can't be said for a human life.

Regards, Robin.

How can I o...

While I am lucky to still own the original steering wheel as Tony suggested, I also like my Moto-lita steering. I have had the wood style, but their leather wheels are also fantastic. As with Tony it's a personal thing. :)

I don't think everyone is stupid... your children, do as you wish in a car built for two!! Like I said it's the drivers responsibility. I really don't care what you do.

Meadowhog, Is this a serious question? While the regulations have changed since the sixties, and even if there are exceptions with certain cars there is no way children 3+ should ever be unrestrained. Common sense has to prevail and we as parents need to ensure our children's safety... No ifs or but...
