Datsuncog Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 My 2004 147 JTDm Lusso had a cup holder. Fold out job just near the Radio. Perfect height so if you braked hard your tea spilled straight into the CD loading slit and knackers the entire unit. Ask me how I know that...Ooosh... that's nasty. And doubtless pricey! Though, oddly enough, also contradicts the collective wisdom of the Alfa Owners' Club stand, who sneered and jeered at my lighthearted throwaway comment about the cup holders thing to inform me that no Alfa came with cup holders, because they were all real driver's cars, proper purebred etc etc. Thinking back, I should have asked them why then, by that logic, someone had gone and shoved a bloody diesel van engine in my 156 Veloce. But I didn't. myglaren, robinmasters, catsinthewelder and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtriple Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Just phoning my isurance company (on the mobile) and the house phone starts ringing, I ignored it and stayed on hold. Anyway, guy picks up my call and says: 'Is that Mr Towers?''Yes, how do you know?''Because I was just ringing your home phone and there was no answer, so I assumed....' Amazing coincidence? so, Mazda is taxed, insured and MOTd for another year. Wonder if I'll manage more than 400 miles this year. catsinthewelder and Exiled_Tat_Gatherer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datsuncog Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 This was sent to you with those stamps on? Yup, it was indeed - found in the letterbox yesterday evening, having been ordered up on Friday. A total of 77p face value in stamps, which tallies with the current 76p postage rate for a large letter weighing less than 100g - all franked and apparently accepted by Royal Mail. I'd never really given it much thought, but since supposedly stamps fall into the category of 'legal tender' (never had the brass neck to try to use them for a bus fare or in Tesco, mind) then I'm guessing they're always worth their face value, as they're never officially withdrawn like banknotes?

Louise2cv Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 My fella often buys old postcards on eBay and frequently we get them sent with 70s/80s stamps. Some picture ones which are easy to date and lots of 1/2p ones. I suppose it might say something about the kind of freaks and weirdos who collect this old junk.

pshome Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 For reasons of no importance, today i had to move the blue 504 GL from where it had been parked since October to some other place across town. It is freezing at -10 C today. Open door, take a seat, turn key, starts up right away, comfy and warm inside after the second traffic light. Took the long way, big grin all the way.

fordperv Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Picked up the stepway which is the surprise for mil fps 50th earlier, I was well chuffed they included the tax in with the price of the car, put £15 of fuel in and was insured for collection so no messing about changing insurances or taking out new policies, can't wait for the unveiling now but that's not until 1 week today, I will post pictures of how we are giving it to her, I hope she doesn't have a heart attack The Moog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
