Well another year of towing one way or another and the car just gets more quiet and smooth after use. The rise and fall of the rear suspension when parked with the opening of door etc is working in the fast mode again when passengers clime aboard. Down side to towing is the English wet weather the car gets really dirty, hey but what a car running LPG and Cortina front brake pads thanks to Bob RIP. Car now put away for a rest in the winter months. BTW the RR car is better than the carpet ride of the C6 3litre HDI with its nine computers for towing.     | ||

What ever program you're using to get the photos to the correct size, tick the box "Maintain Aspect Ratio". They don't have to be 800 x 800, just as long as they don't go beyond that, 800 x 600 will work and your photos will look better too.  | ||

Think i will have to work on it a little more, old and new don't seem to work. I see what you mean the RR is not looking right with aspect ratio, sadly ATM it is not a option. Shall have to have hopefully David G magic to correct it. Just love the Stablimenti Farina. Just received the press photo (aspect ratio showing completely wrong) confirming Givanni Farina was still in the Stablimenti works before Pinin took the factory over on Givannis retirement.   Patrick - have sent you a message regarding future image processing for posting your photos on the forum. | ||

A substantial, good looking, gentleman's carriage. Put your foot down and the twin S.U.s, make the back end dig in. WOW! (Message approved by david_gore) | ||

Chris spot on. With rear drive train stiffening mods to the mountings etc I carried out many years ago. No squawks from original gearbox with changes smooth and brisk,put the long life of the auto-box clutch plates etc down to ATF changes twice a year, filter every five years. Spring assisters to help bottoming out under heavy weight transfer on exccelerating and heavy braking. BTW the carbs handle the vaporized lpg 100% and the industrial ram seals that I fitted years ago have stood the test of time towing.  Happy days. Thanks David will be in touch. |
