In Praise of Oldtech
#10
Turbo went on my old DTurbo on the way to an interview - clouds of smoke out the back. Was just about to come off the motorway anyway, limped it to the nearest train station (Warwick). I didn't have any breakdown cover. I then managed to get a lift back to the car the following day after the interview (two day thing) and drove it from Warwick station back to Oxford. I took the boost hose off the intercooler and drove it back as a NAD in a conscious effort to stop pouring oil down the inlet. Sat at a steady 2000 rpm/60mph she wouldn't smoke unless under heavy load. A couple of days later I then drove it back from Oxford to Woking like that so I could fix it on the folks drive!
