Supernaut Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 It appears Doc Brown is alive and well and operating out of a shipping container in an Aberdeen industrial estate. Just saw a Delorean DMC-12 peeking out of a shipping container earlier. It even had the California plate saying OUTATIME with a silver and black French plate underneath it. In Scotland... dafuq?! Even more dafuq. Shortly after seeing the Delorean a fully rally-prepped (previous-gen I think) Ford Fiesta roared past. Stripped interior, roll cage, massive arches and the distinct whine and clunk of a straight-cut sequential gearbox downshifting as it entered a corner.

wuvvum Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I've decided I'm probably going to give the Carina's MOT slot tomorrow to the 75. I know the 75 is going to fail as well, as the handbrake is pants and the front suspension rattles like a skeleton wanking in a biscuit tin, but it's still going to need doing - plus I'd rather the Toyota didn't have a welding fail in its MOT history so I'm going to get the sill sorted first.

CX's very large capacity battery is here, so will get it fitted Saturday, chuck out the incorrect one that the gearbox workshop put in, and get the car down to the local jet wash. May and June have loads of promising CX trips. 48 years and I have never had a penny. One day may be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They claim it doesn’t matter how many bonds you have, that they all have an equal chance. But the only time mine have come up ( I’ve bought and sold a few over the years) is when I’ve had blocks of more than £1000. I bought £5000 in jan ( as the traction avant buy fell through) , and they were eligible for the prize draw in March. This month two of them won £25. As an investment they are supposed to be poor ( check out moneysavingexpert.co.uk as they state the actual return) but as I’ve filled my isa for the year 1% a month return wouldn’t be bad as a guaranteed money back stake. And of course you could win the jackpot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not done a brim to brim, but seems to be 43ish booting it, 50 if driving nicely.

Cheers lads, it really is a lovely motor, one of those cars I've instantly taken to. It is indeed a 2.0 turbo, auto gearbox. Feels a lot quicker than the stated 154hp, MOT history is immaculate. It's been well looked after. And yes, all my cars will stay in the fold if I can help it! Unclefester and Broadsword 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dean36014 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 There's a local haulage company who run tippers that have an open day every year near me. Quite an interesting company in that he won't run modern trucks but instead keeps a fleet of fodens on the road. He buys them in, completely rebuilds them and they go out on the fleet. He won't touch modern rubbish. Dragged my mate out to have a mooch round, it's all done to raise money for the local air ambulance. Some lovely old trucks there, I can remember driving some similar ones when they were new. BeEP, Amishtat, danthecapriman and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tadhg Tiogar Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Rain stopped. Shoved new 77Ah battery in, but not quick enough to beat the rain. Soaked to skin, but we have a.....start! Managed to get CX out for run before the end of Shabbat (after which all the crazy driving starts again). Looking good for CX Technical Weekend. Washing it might help....
