Ok then, one last try... that is exactly what i've been doing .. hit reply, click on "file manager", browse to the file, click add file, wait till it finishes uploading, click done adding files, and all that's there is the big red X!..

i'm trying it using Internet Explorer instead of Firefox this time

All the rags around the shift can were to hold out the heat. Driving in 90 degree weather for over 8 hours gets the whole tunnel really HOT.. the shift stick was too hot to touch. Slim-jims provide fuel, ear-plugs help, but still leave your ears ringing for a couple of days....

Whew.. glad i did it, but never again!

I just found out why my knee kept cooking even after I disconnected the water hoses to the heater (which helped but didn't stop the heat). I found after I pulled out all of the carpeting to dry it that the rubber plug for filling the transmission was only partly plugged in! Once I fitted it properly the heat stopped! Only a week late.

OK, I know my car doesn't have a proper interior, but I can still say that I'd rather drive my '70 Midget 500 miles than the Bugeye 100 miles.

I think Barry did the same exact thing. He found a plug out that was heating up his cab.

Hello:

I'm a new member (last few days). I have an English White BE.
sure looks like yours. I'm new to BE's and new to Forums, so I'm on a steep learning curve.

My BE runs well, looks good (not a show car, I drive her for the andrenalin.

Rear suspension is bad....feels like little red wagon going downhill way to fast and hitting cracks in the sidewalk.

By the way....I live in St. louis but couldn't make the Lake because we had a family (if you count in-laws) wedding in Colorado. Had to fly fish instead......too many in-laws, not enough fish.

LOL

Welcome.

Rear suspension. First check that all is tight then check shocks.

However, it is prob worn out bushings. Easy and cheep.
