barefoot Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 How my values have changed since coming onto this site... When I joined, we owned three cars, a VW1303 that had been in the garage for a year or two, and our everyday motors, a VW T2 for me and a 944S for the wife. I thought that we probably had more cars than anyone else in the world - ever. Here I am eight years later, we still own the same three cars, but we also own, a Scirocco, a Jaguar and a fucking Vel Satis.All interesting cars, all bought off here, and none of which I would have dared to buy before discovering shite. Had a bit of a grumble today from the wife today when I mentioned the nice looking Volvo that's being raffled..."We are not having SEVEN cars!"Followed swiftly by, "It's not an estate is it?"

hairnet Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 The Mazda passed its test this week, Actually failed on a tyre that I thought would pass, but that is not a real fail !That's 24 years and it has not even started to rust yet. When we did the rear brakes recently all the bolts etc were easy to shift. Did get an advisory for front strut top bushes about to fail so will attend to that before the next test.

richardmorris Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Musical Offspring, on tour in China, signing bloody AUTOGRAPHS!!! Stunned, I am...That’s great, really. How’s China for him? I’ve several university customers in Hong Kong, but that’s obviously not really close culturally. I’ve just read a David sedaris book in which he describes lunch.

chaseracer Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 He's having a great time. Since they arrived on Monday, they've played concerts in Beijing, Tianjin and Wuhan (where the autograph sesh happened). Wuhan is Manchester's twin city, so they're spending the next few days doing workshops, etc. as artists-in-residence at the Qintai Concert Hall. Then on to Shanghai for the showcase concert and the international percussion competition. Blimey.

STUNO Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Chaseracer.....musical offspring must be identified (third from left type will suffice). In case of future fame I will have to know which he/she is.I cannot go through life not knowing that the father of a world famous and very wealthy musician was once on Autoshite at the same time as me.And i have seen the video with Dollywobbler on the piano so life is nearly complete. chaseracer and AMC Rebel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it's a dash of a Space Shuttle you're going to have a lot of surplus, think you'd best look out for an estate car.

beko1987 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Exhaust rehung with bell wire and the strap from my camping chair bag.

beko1987 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I ordered a 35l plastic box from amazon in the week, and it came yesterday... Well, when I say it came, this came... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Faithfull-TRAN33A-3-3kVA-Socket-Transformer/dp/B005OUWR34/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1532194867&sr=8-1&keywords=faithfull+110v+transformer As mispicks go, this must be up there. Now I'm looking on ebay for 110v vacuum cleaners! TBH if Amazon dont ask for it back I'll sell it as I have no use for it!
