stillOrange Posted August 24, 2017 Author Share Posted August 24, 2017 I somehow managed to loose GGG in traffic jam near Brum.So went straight home, I mean to the MOT appointment. No adventures on the way, completely uneventful. Is that how it's supposed to work? Few little gimmicks to be sorted out. Thank you GGG for your time and effort. Go to sleep car. You're tired.

NorfolkNWeigh Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Those two mk3s on the A6 in Luton are all that seems to be left of a fleet used to advertise that builder. A couple of weeks ago a P6 similarly signer tidied appeared in the Tat thread. Up until about a fortnight ago a Morris 1000, Ford 100e and a Volvo 245 were sitting outside a petrol station a couple of hundred yards from the Zephyr and Zodiac, but they've recently gone, possibly Fitzgerald sold the garage.

D Spares & Tyres Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Ha I know where he lives. He also has a Montego estate also in red and mould. It is listing badly but he still clocks up a fair few miles! I'll take a pic of his driveway, stillOrange 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catsinthewelder Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I think I saw that Montego Estate up near Newport a couple of months back. Well done on the 405 collection, hopefully have mine back on the road soon. Saloons are getting a rare sight now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkman Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 It's the perfect camouflage colour on tarmac. Seeing that car in the mirror or through the windscreen, it completely blends in with the road,all you perceive is a pair of lights and a numberplate.
