Lovely to meet you Ken. Hope the Lupo serves you well.

2004 Renault Megane Gullwing Jaguar S-type Coupe

Yes, but quicker, better handling etc in standard form than a 1.3 escort and catching them in price terms as well, we all like things in different flavours

I believe the main body shell is steel with a skim of Duraplast over the top.

I just renewed mine. Year before last, 290, last year 320 this year 380. I did some checking myself and was getting quotes of nearly a grand. Absolutely fucking ridiculous.

Not jealous at all, that old girl is fucking 😎 A custodian of that car the way you are going.

Yeah definitely angel dust influenced.

Renewal offer has just landed from Hagerty for the Invacar, Rover P6 and Trabant. £244. Which I think is +/-50 of what it's always been for this policy irrespective of what vehicles are involved - the exception being the briefly present Merc W123 which brought with it a massive price hike. In contrast, the Partner is currently costing roughly £700 a year. Historically I've been the only user, though due to management nonsense one of my housemates now needs to do a 5 hour round trip to their Telford office once every three weeks to sit at a computer on a teams call to the same co-workers who are based at the opposite end of the country every three weeks. Adding them as a named driver doesn't make a massive difference to the price, however 1st Central can only offer her business & commuting cover if I also add it for myself, then also adding them. Resulting quote? £2754 please. Haven't been able to find anything much cheaper elsewhere - so she's just buying short term insurance a day at a time for £15-30 a go as it works out considerably cheaper, which seems like madness.

The Cambridge is looking fab @danthecapriman Just how Corgi should have done it! Despite feeling shit today (I've managed to catch covid) I got a few bits and bobs completed between bouts of coughing and sneezing. Mini pickup has had the bits of glazing that show polished as much as possible and the interior painted with black humbrol satin. This model is made from one I got to use the interior on another which I'd ruined the plastics with thinners so the good bits are in a green van now. The rough bits are from stripping the new paint off after it reacted with something and I didn't go over the top cleaning it up where it will hardly be seen. Anyway here it is all back together For the number plate I gooled mini pickup and used a reg I found I kind of tried to keep it looking like it was made by Corgi Comparing to Van and Countryman Yes the interior of the pickup went into the green one I also finally put together a Corgi Elan I painted ages ago after seeing one someone had on here 155V6 maybe? Anyway I liked the purple with white stripe so here's mine Needed a repro screen and the steering wheel comes from a Maisto Porsche The Bburago 900 Turbo that I added the Aero body kit to is done as well, I know it's LHD and I stuck a UK plate on it, but I couldn't work out what a period Swedish one would be like. Perhaps I should have put an Italian one on. It didn't have a steering wheel (I mean it never had) and I fitted one from a Corgi, but did no other modifications as I didn't feel like it any more, but wanted to get it finished. It is interesting seeing it with the other Saab models I have, the Dinky 96 and Polistil 99 from childhood The 9.5 I got the other day intending to use the Aero wheels on the 900, but decided it's too nice to ruin, however I am always a bit disappointed when the tailgate of an estate doesn't open The two 99s are very consistant in size from the front to the rear wheel, extra length is in the hatchback The grill on the Polistil isn't great though While looking for the Saab 96 and 99 I found the other two Dinky Mini Clubmans (Clubmen?) I have, one is MIB and the other I already had is not as good as the one I got at the weekend Interestingly the worst one also has sparkly lights which are yellow (been replaced?) and has a different number plate During the afternoon a large box was delivered... It must have taken @Dick Longbridge hours to wrap this lot up, thanks again! Since I was a bit off colour I didn't feel like wasting the excitement of unwrapping it all so that will wait, but I had a quick peek...

All German stuff seems to have taken a nose dive in quality in the last 15 years….PCP to blame?

He kneeded to get it out there, though I'm not sure why.

Jeezeee..... Normally keeping a look-out for pheasants, kamikaze traffic dodging.... Always warmed by the sight of big, fat hens scratching around in the grass margins... when passing farms.... TODAY 🙀 .... Was truly a Red Letter Day 🤪 .... Zipping along, coming into the back of Morpeth along by the golf course, I make a nice neat slice on a blind left >> tracing the white margin line, no drama >> lo and behold an ffinn HERON is standing on the very verge... Like a statue, unblinking... I slotted past... Very Impressive 😎 🚙💨

The mondeo got a wash and clay. We had only ever chucked a bucket of soapy water over it so it was time for some tlc. Might polish it tomorrow.

Flimsy, slow, cramped, shit. Never again.

The other thing to check when you take the head off is the flatness of the block. It's fairly rare but not uncommon to have an uneven block face.
