      Are you sure they're not discussing the matching boots.

          Based on the seriousness of those facial expressions I suspect they are debating leaf vs coil.

            Perhaps their parents wanted more than an 87% chance of arriving at their intended destination every time they set out.

                No way. They're definitely discussing using grease vs. oil in the swivel pin housings.

                    No, he definately looks like a Zenith kind of kid.

                      Yeah,but she is a total Solex girl. In fact shes the one that talked me into replacing my old Solex with a Rebuilt one from RDS. She pointed out to me that the external jets were a snap to pull out to clean,and no other Carb has such a fine running idle. Actually I think she said smooth running idle.

                        Well, that just goes to show you can't judge a woman by her expression, because she sure doesn't look like a Solex girl.

                          She knows a lot more about the Solex than I do then. Although I thought they were discussing how to put the synchro clips in without removing the gearbox.

                            It's obviously a conundrum between 15" or 16" wheels. You guys are such rookies.

                              I believe they are discussing the typical Rover project time line.

                              Little boy: "He is just fixing the clutch then we can go for a ride"

                              Little Girl: "I disagree, he'll have the whole thing in pieces tomorrow and we will go for a ride in a month"
