autohausdolby Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 My lovely AX, which I am departing for Morocco in on Friday: The vacuum bonnet prop is not factory. I feel so proud to own a truly crap car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autohausdolby Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 Yep, doing the Plymouth to Banjul (ironically as it goes to neither of those places) Moroccan off road challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotford00 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Blimey I thought it was mine apart from the fact that there is more of a shine to the paint and the fact that its a K reg, and mine is L reg but still its a dizezal. Great car, totally shite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autohausdolby Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 That bad BWOY is staying where it is. Again, apologies for the shit photo. We're doing the Morocco off road wotnot, so RHD is fine as we don't go further South. Plus you get to bring your Shite home with you. If it lives.

autohausdolby Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 Terrifying colour balance makes it look like the car is full of wag. It's not. I've painted the walls since then as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Lobster Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I like the idea of these banger rallies, the adventure and all that. It just all the 'wackyness' on some of them - dressing your car up like a dog and all that - that puts me off.However, what you've done seems mercifully free of that and looks a lot better. Africa and back in an AX is the sort of thing I'd rather enjoy I suspect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milford Cubicle Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Looks like an adventure more than 'wackiness'. Good work, like Mr. Lobster I'd like take part in one of these more adventurous banger rallies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autohausdolby Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 It was great - we had just enough comedy problems and no serious ones. Issues included:Rear view mirror falling offKey breaking whilst being used to remove stones from tent poleTyre side wall disintegrating but only at a comfortably low speed and next to a handy gravel shoulder for wheel changing.I'm still wrestling with the rest of the photos but I'm going to try and select a few good ones - there are well over a thousand. The AX had been off the road since 2005 and that made it even more fun - we know of a Sid and Doris Hillman Hunter that's been in a garage since the early nineties when Sid passed away. The idea of taking that to Iran to see the Peykans really appeals now :)I've spent all my money now though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
