Guest Breadvan72 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Maybe biff the battery connector off the negative post by twatting it with a shoe heel. Take shoe off first unless good at Kung Fu. Refitting is reverse of removal. Bobthebeard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skizzer Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 Ooh, can I have a look and give it a fondle as I'm not far away? Can also offer jump start assistance and tools to save you buying stuff needlessly.You betcha, thanks a lot. Let's swap PMs tomorrow, I'm asleep now.

RoadworkUK Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Has yours got the incredible thick Dralon upholstery with Lancia 'L's embroidered all over it? Here's my writeup for the lovely brochure (one of my favourites) from, like, seven years ago. Has typos. nacho man and Skizzer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Breadvan72 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I have THROBBED for a series 2 Gammakoop since I first saw one, silver with blue seats, about eight years ago. The throb does not diminish. Skiz appears to have bought THE BEST GAMMAKOOP IN THE SHITEIVERSE. Skiz is TEH MAN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shep Shepherd Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 You've just won the game of Autoshite! I've only ever seen a Gamma in photos, but I love them regardless. Put me down for the Quattroporte; only one was ever made and I believe it resides somewhere in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardthestag Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Made it to the car park round the corner from the office without overheating, dissolving, conking out or otherwise exploding. IMG_8048.JPG IMG_8049.JPG IMG_8050.JPG The battery connectors are properly tightened up with spanners and I don't have any tools, so it'll just have to flatten it's battery. I'll order a booster pack from Amazon - I forgot this morning to bring my own from home. I like it. It needs a clutch, the cooling fan is wired on a manual switch that you need to remember to switch on before you go anywhere, the driver's window doesn't move and I don't care because it's flippin gorgeous. wow, i r jelus Get one of these for the battery http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Battery-Disconnect-Heavy-Duty-Isolator-Cut-Off-Switch-/171354988794?hash=item27e58da0fa:g:LW0AAOSw6EhUNQjD Skizzer and egg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey spud Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 That body shape is one stunning piece of design,a true original bit of thinking.Where everything today is bubbles and curves this sticks out like a sore tit but in a good way. I drove past it (or its sister) a few days back and just thought shit the guy who owns that must be seen as a bit of a hero in his neighbourhood. Or is that just how we think on here?

Put me down for the Quattroporte; only one was ever made and I believe it resides somewhere in the UK. Lots of Gammasloons, though. There is a white one for sale from a bloke on here. Cheapo price, needs a bit of recommish work, apparently. A Gammasloon looks like a hatchback, but is a fastback 4 door.

Six-cylinder Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Our Lancia is now a shed! This black HPE is the car it was from, long gone I am afraid as bought as a parts car for the maroon HPE we were running at the time. somewhatfoolish, Skizzer, Shep Shepherd and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Breadvan72 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I was hoping that I might get to go and lick the Gammakoop today, but this plan has gone all to Harry Bollocks, and by the time that I am able to beard Sir Skizzer in his London lair some time next week, he will have spirited the car off to Land of Welsh. So that's everything fucked, then. Skizzer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Breadvan72 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I managed to replan part of a plan. I have now seen, sat in, and actually DRUV the Gamma. Holy Mother of Fecque!!!!Skizzer has not merely won Autoshite; he has won the Internet. The car is way beyond any superlative that I can attach to it. Such stylish, many seventies, so Coupe, much Italy, Wow. Shep Shepherd, egg, KruJoe and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still quite dark in there anyway - interior shots on Friday I promise. Happily, it did start this afternoon so Don Breadivanni could drive it round the car park (while studiously avoiding full lock). This means I might even persuade it to take me home on Friday morning.

Guest Breadvan72 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Oh FFs, not that sideways nonsense again. Posted from phone. Upright on phone. Why the Hell does it do that? Windows Phone btw. EDIT: Now fixed by laptop, but WHY do photos that are taken with the phone held vertically, and which appear upright on the phone, often, but randomly, appear sideways when placed up here either from the phone or after being put onto a PC first?

Guest Breadvan72 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 BONUS 1: I was driven off from the City to the other RAC in the coolest Metrocab in ever. BONUS 2: The cabbie is retiring next month. He will probably sell the cab. I gave him my card. He promised to be in touch. BONUS 3: The cab is a MANUAL Metrocab. Toyota engine and gearbox, 300,000 miles. Pristine inside,and out. Engine rebuilt not long ago.

Guest Breadvan72 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 There are moody and menacing Mafia enforcer shots of Skizzer plus Gamma on his phone.
