GrumpiusMaximus Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Looks like Scott Bacula in that screen grab! Oh boy. My grin for the day. Was walking to the Post Office (still no Golf, still at the garage) and I see a giffer on his driveway getting out of his Dacia Sandero Stepway and walk up to the boot of his other car to get something out. His other car? A Dacia Duster. Both in resale white. He is living the dream. brandersnatch, privatewire, purplebargeken and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyG Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Did anyone watch ‘8 out of 10 cats do Countdown’ on 4 last Friday? They only wheeled a Cortina Mk5 onto the set!! Y plate, and I think it was a ‘Carousel’ special edition as well. The joke was it was a contestant’s ‘mascot’ only it was his car he wanted to sell and wanted free national advertising for. Might watch again on catch-up and run the reg through dvla checker. It looked in good condition albeit with a goodly amount of lacquer peel on the roof, nicely highlighted by the studio lighting. privatewire, eddyramrod and Tamworthbay 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myglaren Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 My tracking has been out for a while - steering wheel tilted to the right and some scrubbing on the newish tyres. After a few failed attempts managed to get it in today. Was a little early for the 9:30 appointment, asked how long it would take as it was going to take me an hour to walk home then another hour to return and collect it as I can't use buses or taxis. Receptionist offered to drive me home and pick me up again when it was done - I declined as they were busy and she was busier, so they made a special effort to bung it through right then. Was chatting with another customer there and they came out and said his would be £90 but they couldn't do it until the following day, which he was fine with. It was a BMW and needed a new silencer that they had to order in as there were none available locally.BMW had quoted him £1,367 for the same job! Nice, pleasant and accommodating people. Haven't used them before but the car has - my mechanic sends it there for MOTs. purplebargeken and mrbenn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spottedlaurel Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Decent weather and half-term giving me about a bit of flexibility about what I drive means I'm going for the full 5/5 commuting experience. Don't think I've done it in February before. E-reg Sunny yesterday, which was fine as it has seen very occasional use during the winter. Laurel today. Hadn't even started it for 2-3 months, but the interior lights came on brightly so I was hopeful. After letting it turn over with no choke to get some oil around it burst happily into life and was as great to drive as ever. Tomorrow I'm looking to use the 1200, A.K.A. "The Miss Emery Car" in our household. I was sad to hear that the previous owner died last year, she requested there was no funeral. She was an interesting and strong-minded lady and I feel I should persevere with her old car for as long as possible. Whether I can keep it for 43 years like she did I don't know, hopefully one day I'll be able to afford the restoration it needs and deserves..... That leaves the Camry and Lexus RX as easy options later in the week. Saw a smart 2dr Escort Mk1 with stereotypical mod's when I was on the way home.

Dippy Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Went out in the 940 yesterday and the wipers packed in with a horrible burning smell from the motor. Got,home and had motor and linkage all out in 15 mins this same job took me a day on a classic a couple of weeks ago, and a used replacement is on its way for £42 posted.

NorfolkNWeigh Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Freedom!This makes me happy to be alive. This morning I had to pick up a lady from Heathrow T5 at 9 O'clock , beforehand I took a guy down at 5, so made sense to park up and have a kip/ watch I-player( how has no one on Shetland noticed Perez has gone from a £300 52 reg V70 to a brand new V90 ?) Anyway woke up went into the carpark, parked in my usual spot on the deserted 2nd floor, the relevance of which will become apparent.Obviously this was about time for my morning poo, especially after an hours kip in the car.Went into the nice clean toilet, in the quiet bit of the carpark remember.Phone buzzes, " I'm through, just getting coffee do you want one?" Timing perfect.Go about my business, turn handle to unlock door, and...Nothing! It just spins not attached to anything.Trapped in the bog, I give the door a shove, it's massive and VERY solid, I kick it , nothing. I notice a red rubber strip around the wall- it's an emergency call button- I push it, a siren starts up, quite deafening inside the toilet.Nothing happens.I start yelling and shouting- nothing.I start kicking fuck out of the door, bits of frame fall down, the handle comes off- the door doesn't budge.Phone rings, it's my passenger, " Where are you"I explain.She laughs, a lot .I then explain where exactly I am.10 minutes later , the door opens.It's her, she rescued me!To make matters worse, the first thing she says is" That must have been awful, it stinks in there " I said " Yes it was like that when I went in there" !?!"Mmmmm" says she...

Jerzy Woking Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Took the Saab in for its MOT, and since last year the garage have replaced the cold MOT viewing area with the installation of cameras in both the MOT area and in the pit, so I could see exactly what the tester was doing from the comfort of their sofa in their lovely reception area. Pass achieved, no advisories. Been a good MOT day, with copious amounts of free coffee too. The Moog, LightBulbFun and myglaren 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spottedlaurel Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Decent weather and half-term giving me about a bit of flexibility about what I drive means I'm going for the full 5/5 commuting experience. Don't think I've done it in February before...................... 3/3 so far this week. I had started the 1200 Tuesday evening to make sure the battery still had some life in it, but that was as far as my post-winter check procedure went. It coped just fine with suddenly being pressed into use, and was very enjoyable to drive. It gets up to a somewhat noisy indicated (and probably optimistic) 55-60 quite nicely so it's fine on the local roads. Created a bit of interest/amusement amongst one or two people on site. The contrast between that and the RX I'm going to use today is dramatic. That's 3-4x the weight of the 1200, 5x as powerful and about 1000x more complex.
