I was looking at my Ford Pickup today.It has three Universal joints, instead of two.The first one is pretty closely aligned with the transmission. But, it would seem that it is not a good idea to have an odd number of joints.
Ok - so it could be a smartcar (great city car), or a skoda (and not one of the uber-reliable new ones - the dodgy 80s ones, what do you call a skoda with a sunroof), a hillman imp (huge reverse chic) or what I really hope is that it is a renault-engined alpine. If it is an alpine I will wave at all I see (cos there probably are only one or two in London) in the hope of saying hello!
Sadly the poor little Imp (actually a Singer Chamois) will almost have to be sold as a project now as the iron-worm has got too great a hold on its poor little chassis []
Well, it did last quite a long time, but then, that's only to be expected as it was made in Renfrewshire (as was I) []My brother had a Clan Crusader. It had a glass fibre monocoque body and Imp mechanicals. The C of G was so low you really didn't have to slow down much for corners.
