A video of me taking the Lanchester for a drive.

I was testing out some new video equipment and used the opportunity to give it a run in the Lanchester.

Sounds like you have the same bunch of canaries tweeting in your car as I have in my Armstrong Siddeley. They chirp away all the time from somewhere up in the roof.
Good to see it performing so well.

Hi, sounds like she’s only running on Five Cylinders to me , have you fitted new Spark plugs, or done a compression test ?

Cheers Al

Sounds a treat to me Al. No need for spark plugs just a hearing aid for you might be necessary. Cheers Frenchy

I’m happy to learn I’m not the only one who twitters to himself while behind the wheel!

She was compression tested when I bought her. The compression was consistent on all cylinders.

The engine was serviced last week and no comments about lost cylinders were made :)

Yes. I was trying to test the mike and see what the pickup was like with noise. :roll:
