SRi05 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Chodspeed. Is that the cheeseburger dominoes? I found it to be a crushing disappointment. Was right looking forward to the bastard as well. The Meateor is still the undisputed king for me #pizzashite Jim Bell and Ghosty 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shedenvy Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Domino's for breakfast! Great - though only acceptable if you ate 1.5 pizzas last night. Chod speed. oldcars 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w00dy Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 Thanks chaps. It's a Mexican Fiesta which was bought as part of Three's £3 small Pizza Monday deal, tried the cheeseburger pizza last week and was unimpressed. Got an upgrade to medium because they'd managed to lose the first one somehow. My girlfriend has the other half for her lunch. Afraid it's not too exciting, but I've always fancied one.

w00dy Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 Thankfully not a Mexican Ford. Last time I bought a Mexican car (81 Beetle) it blew up about 100 miles later. The pizza was somewhat more successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostnotFound Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 it blew up about 100 miles later. The pizza was somewhat more successful. Surely this is tempting fate..... Pizzashite wise, dominos really can't hold a candle to any proper local place that does real Kebab pizzas (if you wouldn't order a kebab from them anyway, why would you want their efforts on your pizza?). Unfortunately now we live near the high street its only chains within walking distance. Hopefully the car won't be quite as grim on the inside as a decent kebab house :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w00dy Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 London has been achieved in the east leg of the journey. Now I just need to head north. Burrito for lunch and a cherry coke means there’s a fair chance of a heart attack instead of a collection. davehedgehog31, Junkman, Jim Bell and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeEP Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Good to meet you w00dy. Hope the Ovlov gets you home safely! Consistent with my usual form I didn't take any photos.

Fumbler Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 YES!!!!!!!!!!!! ANOTHER VOLVO ESTATE!!!!!!!!YESSSSS... Anyway. I feel hapy that others now have fellow Volvos, in better shape, and with better wheels and probably better everything.... except the underside because unused London car sitting in driveway for 16 years.

w00dy Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 I made it back to Bristol with no dramas. It runs great and sits happily at "oops, I should look down more often" speeds Plenty of stuff to improve, but it doesn't feel like the impossible task that was the Espace.

w00dy Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 So the Volvo has been behaving itself very well and has been everything I could want, wuick, comfortable and spacious. 28mpg is less than I'd like, but you can't have it all. The cold killed off the battery, so I bought a fancy new Bosch Which meant normal service was resumed. Until this week when it cut out in a less than ideal place and wouldn't restart. recovery came, but due to the location there wasn't much diagnosis. No RPM signal was what the recovery guy reckoned and he suggested it might be the crank sensor. So I ordered one from ECP, but it turned out to be the wrong part. A little research has me questioning whether this is the solution though. Any thoughts and experiences are much appreciated. Unhelpfully I have to work on it in the street since my drive is too steep and narrow to have any hope of putting it back, but it's a fairly quiet road at least.
