The Reverend Bluejeans Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Astra convertible I was taken back to August 1993 then for a moment when I used to drive around in a new one! 2.0i went well enough. You look slim and attractive in the photo. 11001010, beko1987 and Mrs6C 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Split_Pin Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I have a dealer laminated poster of the Astra Mk3 Cabriolet in the above satin red if anyone wants it. A lot of these were 1.6 autos I think. Temp is perfectly normal if its sitting idling on a hot day, should cool to about 92 or so when on the move. Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 Update: Mondeo failed MOT, something about discs, front suspension arm, bulbs and something else. Quoted about £360, I think. jury is out, probably retire it to the GoG for as long as. In other news it's my son's 25th birthday today, so I posted some old photographs of him up on social media (as you do) and our old mate Reanimation (from RR, NSJK and here) reminded me (with pictures) of the time he came with me to move Mark's car to somewhere else in Manchester. No wonder the lad turned out as well as he did... theshadow, egg, Bren and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 Things to do today: Buy something you have no actual use for (and that probably doesn't work properly) off a bloke who lives on a council estate and has an actual tractor in his front garden. Discovered it goes forward and backward, haven't had time to work out if the cutting deck engages or not. Probably the latter. It was absurdly cheap though. warren t claim, dome, Mrs6C and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted July 14, 2018 Author Share Posted July 14, 2018 Safe tonight, it's Chester Races and all the amateur drinking bastards it brings in. I drove through Deeside this morning in my Astra with the roof down. Old fashioned, embarrassing, stinks, nobody wants to be in it and everybody laughs at it, but that's enough about Connah's Quay.

Cavcraft Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 Went to see three 'candidates' this evening, only successful* one of them. This. Is it a Citroen? Grille looks FIAT? Fuck knows. MOT measured in hours (48) and he sills are crispier than a premature ejaculator's undercrackers after three day stint of of filming porn videos. It's a 1.9 probs DW8?

Dave_Q Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Could be a Fiat Scudo, same as Peugeot/Citroen versions, they didn't even bother trying to put different lights or owt on these hence why you can't really tell. Yes probs a DW8 although I think some of the early ones might have been XUD, maybe even XUD turbo M8. Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
