Was the Talbot Sunbeam a difficult car to drive?

In the hands of drivers like Henri Toivonen, Guy Fréquelin, Stig Blomqvist and Tony Pond it dances. But just how difficult was this car to drive?

25 hrs to disc my 50 acre field

It's taken me 25 hours to disc harrow my 50-acre field.

Rock picking was done with hand cart and took about 35 hours but with in game helper (I was on the tractor). Loaded into a cart using an old bucket.

I now have only 2 days to get the seed in the ground before planting season ends. Will be loading the seeder with seed bags.

In it for the long haul on this vintage farm.

Can't wait for the John Deere Model D mod to arrive.

🙂👍

May seem silly but what is this?

New to owning a classic mini. Switch with 'P' written on it. Cannot work out what it operates.

A 50 acre farm using vintage tractors and harvester.

So far it's taken 15 hours on the disc harrow and I'm only half way through doing the field.

Tractor happily working away at 3 mph. The sound of that 2 cylinder popping away for hours is just great!

This little piece is located in the heater unit. Does this little piece of hose have a part number?

It has a different texture to it on the outside as opposed to regular heater hose.

Any help is much appreciated. 🙂👍

For the first time in many years the lights etc are working once more. Mice had eaten some of the wiring over the 30 odd years it's been off the road.

This may not seem that big of a thing but for me this is a huge moment!
