  1. Past hour
  2. And one from me too after being made aware of it.
  3. Today
  4. I didn’t know that this thread existed until @inconsistantpointed me in this direction, So, shamelessly taken from my Show us your modern daily shite thread, is my now regrettably sold Ford Fiesta ST150, pictured with one of my mates blue ST150.
  5. I've finished off both pillars now, and cut away the rusty lower lip. Ahhhh. The inner panel is in a similar state. I will have to rethink my plan, but reckon I'll have to cut out more of the front panel for access - which means it'll be more difficult to neatly weld in a length of standard angle section. However I can probably use that to weld in a functional repair to the hidden panel, and buy the proper repair panel for the visible outer repair.
  6. 6 hours in the Saab today. Amazing how comfortable and capable this 27 year old car is. Handled the whole journey there and back with ease, and I didn’t get in any way uncomfortable until I got stuck in a bit of traffic on the very last 15 minute to home and my clutch leg got tired. It’s true what they say about Saab’s legendary comfort! However, normally I see at least a few retro cars out and about. Today, the only other car from the 90s (or earlier) I saw was a K Reg Polo….
  7. 100% agree; the Mk1 saloon was a proper looker, the hatchback Mk2 always looked much more finished than the Mk2 saloon. When I was growing up my mate's dad had a kinda pale metallic fern green Mk1 saloon, reflective panel between the tail lights, and Cosworth style alloys... it was as cool as polar bear balls in 1996 when it replaced a Fiat Fiorino van as his family transport. L373 UDS it was though, no K-reg goodness.
  8. After all this spend on the suspension parts you might as well get the alloy arms and alloy hubs off the Passat while your at it, will save quite a bit of unsprung weight.
  9. Yesterday
  10. Looks lovely! Was it £250? What happened to the Mini?
  11. That looks like a young dog to me. I’d like to see that again when it’s grown up.
  12. Strange, because in my view those stupid wheelarch extensions really messed up the styling.
  13. The initial demand for the Mk III Invader exceeded production capacity! Selling them wasn't the problem it seems, but attempting to increasing production output was (overworking essential staff members, increasing quality issues, which in turn made them waste a lot of time on correcting said defects), along with cashflow issues and the frequent changes of ownership. Shame really, another example of a manufacturer that offered a fairly okay product but went under regardless...
  14. Settle in and read, this is not unique.
  15. That was quick, only ordered it yesterday afternoon and it arrived this morning. just need to get it pressed on. That might be tricky,
  16. I appreciate the effort with the registration.
  17. "I have been running the car daily drives like a new car" - not got as far as the MOT station yet though? Expired 2017. Mind you - the car does look as mint as anything tbh.
  18. It’s not sterile, it’s literally winking at you 😉
  19. Someone's bossing the daily commute. Havant Station car park.
  20. Interesting tractor. But check out the video - It appears to have a Simca Aronde Flash engine!
  21. Chevrolet Matiz. Looks a little rough, but £700 with a years ticket aint bad.
  22. You'd so have to call that 'Lance Corporal Jones'? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clive_Dunn
  23. Dave Angels meat & veg. Try my meat & 2 veg! Enjoy my plums.
  24. Cheap ZT 190 (£1,100) with MoT 'til October. Those stains though... (1) Marketplace – 2003 MG 190Zt+ | Facebook
