BorniteIdentity Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 FOUR FIGURES ON ONE CAR? You’ve either changed, or Pre-Brexit inflation is rampant and a bag of sugar is now £18. It looks sublime. I had so many appalling thoughts about this after the 306 Cabrio of last year which was Sundance Yellow. It was just too rich for me. Enjoy champ. Looks like a peach. Well, more a banana...

Jim Bell Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 Dug a couple of appropriate screws out of the fixings box and got fully legal. Cleared the boot out and gave it a hoover. I discovered a boot liner (always awesome) and 3 spiders (never awesome). I also gave the interior a good clean and hoover (what there is of it) just to brighten the cockpit up a bit. Next step is a full service and a fuel line replacement. michael t, oldcars, mrbenn and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bell Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 It's rained on and off all day today so I still haven't run this with the top down. I did cycle the roof at the supermarket undercover though, to check it works fine. Mechanicals. It does look very bonny with the lid folded. Ordered service bits today. Next step is a good cervix and a replacement pez pipe. One day in and I'm STILL loving it. dome, loserone, Vantman and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bell Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 Any dreary car in the whole wide world is elevated greatly by being produced in a yellow hue.

Jim Bell Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 It's Speed Logic Lite on Android. Pretty good for a free app and has a canny range of features.

She is a giving soul...for example, I took a week off after my 40th birthday and she allowed* me to shovel out 7-8 tonnes of gravel from round the clock bulk bags deliveries on to the garden. She may also have given me the nod to trigger a collection fred tomorrow mrbenn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Bell Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 My missus hated yellow cars so I took her money and bought her a yellow Ignis Sport. Immersion therapy. It grew on her even though she eventually sold it and she's not complained about my yellow cars since.
