We made a good start, everyone seemed to get away from Enfield without too many delays. We were slightly held up about an hour into the trip though by stopping to check out the GT6 who was having fuel starvation problems. It seemed to clear itself though and he made it to Blythe services - as did the amazing stretch Herald with the Canley Classics Crew - what a show stopper!
It was great to see the beast there in all its glory - but such a shame to discover that problems with the 20' (or thereabouts) exhaust - ie, it was about to part company with the manifold - meant they were unlikely to be accompanying us the whole way. Last heard they were either going to hole up in a Travelodge and hit the bar - or of they're able find some sticky-backed plastic and a washing up liquid bottle we may see them again at some future point in the run. Whatever the outcome it was a pretty amazing feat to produce such a vehicle in such a short time and they should all be proud of their accomplishment. I can imagine it'll be a talking point in Triumpoh circles for some time - a legend in the making! So, currently, Bob's driving, Guy's taking a rest curled up in the back and yours truly has spent the last hour peering at the laptop getting a photo of said Eight Wonder of the Triumph World, amd keeping up with navigating (when there haven't been a convenient set of Triumph taillights to follow).

New water pumps currently available for the MGA (and maybe also the MGB 3-mail bearing engine) are generally aluminum bodied parts. The real problem I have with these is that the mounting ear used to attach the generator is too weak. It appears to be about the same cross section as the iron bodied units, which of course makes it much weaker in aluminum. I broke two of these before I gave it up for a lost cause and went back to using original iron water pumps (good used ones). I have never had an original iron water pump fail in operation. The one currently on my MGA has been transfered through three different engines by now, and has accumulated nearly 300,000 miles. I believe it is the original factory issue with my car. (YMMV or course).

Fred -----Original Message----- From: Don Yarber [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 04, 2002 1:26 PM To: Healey List Subject: No Healey Content (Computer Related) Hello to all you computer gurus. I have a question. If one wanted to set up one's own computer dedicated to using it as an ISP instead of subscribing to an ISP what operating system is best installed on that computer? (There are probably many variables that I'm not thinking about, but in general, which OS is best?) I was thinking of using APACHE as the web server software.
