Parky Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I haven't been near an Allegro since 1991. A school friend had a Brown one. Even then I thought it awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egg Posted May 3, 2018 Author Share Posted May 3, 2018 As previously noted, there is a classic car event in Faversham on the 12-13th weekend. Also, motors by the moat at Leeds castle, which isn't far away for anyone making the journey: https://www.leeds-castle.com/What%E2%80%99s+On/Featured+Events/Motors+by+the+Moat/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egg Posted May 11, 2018 Author Share Posted May 11, 2018 If anyone coming along wants an old phone for £1 or an old printer for £2 (both functional), give me a shout and I'll bring along. Any money raised back into the forum next month. I've also got a French ZX brochure (free) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrenchvolt Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I am definite provided the Clio makes it. The clutch is adding an element of risk to the equation. Fitted a push button switch to dash and I now have front windscreen washer pump, so I will have a nice clear view of the hard shoulder! egg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inconsistant Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Just in case anyone is interested, I've taken this Blaupunkt Bristol 27 out and was going to eBay it, but if anyone wants it I'm looking for £25 which is what I paid for it a few years ago. There's one on eBay for £70 at the mo, so if £25 is too cheap you could always bung a bit into the forum fund. I've got 4x speakers I'll throw in, 2 are Blaupunkt and 2 are Panasonic. The stereo works fine, speakers are scruffy and untested but bought them off Autoshite as working so assume they're good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpiusMaximus Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 If anyone has a big enough car, we could Wollard all the way around it, on the sills. Unless that's breaking the ways of the Wollard (praise be upon him). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpiusMaximus Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 My car actually got a clean inside so that I wasn’t quite so ashamed.

SierraMikeHotel Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Well, that was an excellent fun outing! Sorry I had to dash off, I was just feeling very settled and would have stayed on but too much to do here... My pics are a bit rubbish but here they are anyway. I thought I'd taken some more, but I obviously failed to press the "shutter" on my phone's touchscreen - not the first time I've done that and I'm sure it won't be the last. Main impressions: I still want an Alfa. Might have to be a 159 rather than a 156 though. Parky looks nothing like his profile picture. You know you're among friends when a beige Skoda turns up and everyone goes "ooh!" Likewise when the meerkat moment involves a Renault Espace with no wheeltrims. People being nice about my Saab makes me feel warm and fuzzy. I was a bit unsure about it, having never owned something so unnecessarily fast, but I'm feeling very warmly disposed towards it now. I will order the bits I need to sort out its final little niggles this evening. GrumpiusMaximus, Vantman, Datsuncog and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpiusMaximus Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 The Saab was a real beauty. I'm very, very envious. A proper high-performance, practical, long-range, distinctive, well-made car. With a particularly opulent and peacocking cup holder. wrenchvolt and SierraMikeHotel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SierraMikeHotel Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Ah yes I forgot to talk about cup holders! And still being relieved, after nearly 20 years, that my car can get up Detling Hill without boiling over. I used to spend a lot of time there when it was a Little Chef.

I was looking forward to meeting you but it's not possible to do everything. I hope the wife and the Sierra are feeling better soon. See you at FOTU?
