My Dolomite Sprint had twin S.U. carburettors which used to freeze in the winter. Would start fine but for the next 3 miles would play up and stall. Remedy was to put some cardboard over the top of the radiator and fold it back to keep the inlet manifold warm!
How I agree that cars have moved on. And that includes Honda's.
Some of you might have read my tale of woe [Hondas do break down] and me being lent a T reg 1.4 Civic [the model co-produced with Rover]. I could not believe just how cars have improved. i now look at Rover 400 / 45 drivers with a mixture of sadness for them and one-upmanship for me!!
