Yesterday, decided to take the '78 Midget out for a spin.
Found a puddle of brake fluid on the (new) carpets. darn.
Here we go again! Insert a few choice words...
This got me thinking about the cars I've owned over the
years (a LOT), and the realization that I've never had
to rebuilt the hydraulics on any American car I've owned,
but have had to do major work on every Brit car.
Why the huge difference??? Is it the quality (or lack thereof)
of materials, Castrol brake fluid absorbing more water,
material used in the seals?
People often criticize Britmobiles for their crummy
Lucas electrics, but for me, I've had far more problems
with the hydraulics!
