Haha, that's awesome. Just needs more caravan towage.

Choice. MK1's rule my face. Thats seriously cool. Looks really tidy too. I LOVE the MK1 dashes.
Cool about the grumpy motor too.
I'm converting mine to the notorious Lucas Mechanical Injection just for lols. (and an extra 60hp)

Ha, its really good at towing the caravan

pug405boy · January 12, 2009, 11:06:15 PM

Yeah, Adrian wanted a P.I, but was warned off it by the Triumph garage... So he setted for a modified carby one. Mega torquey

Sorry, its a photo of a photo (it was a real photo and I dont have a scanner) but yeah, this is it a few months ago

BigPete · January 12, 2009, 11:16:40 PM

pug405boy · January 12, 2009, 11:26:06 PM

Triumphs are wicked and mine definately is not as nice as your guys (although I got a REALLY good deal on it) although so far it has been FAR more reliable than my pug (only needed a wheel bearing adjusting for the WOF). The problem is at 18 I'm not really in the position to be running a French AND British car (whilst saving for a house). Thus I have decided that it may be best to pass the trumper on and put the cash into a badly needed paintjob for the pug.

So if you know anyone looking for a twin Stomberg monster in reasonably good nick, let me know

CaM · January 13, 2009, 11:38:23 AM

oh twin strommys, so she's an earlier mk2 one with the chrome rimmed gauges and shiz? tuff.

cammmy · January 13, 2009, 11:43:35 AM

Yeah twin strom SU's (Spitfire plane used Stromberg SU's too but not sure if they are the same). Yeah think they are chrome trim but not sure of the top of my head. She's a '74

CaM · January 13, 2009, 12:38:46 PM

oh they cam eout with vacuum dashpot carbs in both variants but some had stromberg ones and some S.U

cammmy · January 13, 2009, 01:26:11 PM

I thought they were Stromberg Brand and SU was the model?

Hey champ. I'm from welly too. I like citroens (close enough to peugeots) haha. I also have a TC. Don't sell it. TCs are tough. Be choice for a welly meet sometime. Get to know some nearby french car "enthusiasts"
Should have a trump meet even. Before you get your pug back on the road.

My non french baby:

thats a very clever car!!

Hey Guys

Just joined. I'm 18 and my first car is a 91' Mi16x4 which I'm sad to say was in a horrible state when I got it. It's getting better with alot of TLC but there is still alot to do.

Love euro cars, especially the 4bie's. Can't stand most of the boy racer crap littering our streets.

My pug is currently off the road as my 1 year old nephew lost my keys. Sorting the best option to get it up and running again now.

Anyone in Wellington who is a fan of pugs I'm happy to meet (once I can drive it again :-))

Look forward to chatting with you all

Cheers
Cam
