The very reason I’ve done this for all these years is to share my knowledge and approach to problem solving with classic cars.

And as we know, British cars have a lot of problems!  Here’s your chance to throw a general question at me that might help others too.  If possible, I’ll make a short video to save a thousand words! 

Just go to Contact and send me a message!

It might be SEVERAL questions!

So many good questions! Perfect for a video of opinions!

Here’s another example.  I had no idea this question would result in my most popular YouTube video.

Question:  Why does my transmission grind between gears?
