Yes, hadn’t watched any Rustival coverage so hadn’t seen this! Thanks for spotting it!

I get exactly the same, especially when I see restored Yugos…

This photo of it was on the Yugo Facebook group this week, so it appears to have been moved on to a home with known Yugo lickers. (Weirdly I posted this on the Wirral car spotting thread a couple of days ago?!)

My XC90 is in that tax band… makes me wince when I see it!

Great news!!! Thanks @catsinthewelder

I’ll holy thread revive this one… because today I saw a Facebook post about the remaining Sanas and so quickly hopped over here to find the reg to add it to the list. Only to find it is already on the list and appears to have been bought by someone to repair… a happy ending maybe!

FWIW I thought the two parking areas with the two separate entrance times worked a treat. I also felt the two areas offered loads, and they were right next to each other so no problem there! I was slightly skeptical that the stage would intrude onto proceedings by being loud or overbearing, but not at all. It actually added to things in a positive way for some visitors (not that I visited it at all bar the very end) It was genuinely one of the best shows I’ve been to in ages. Like FoTu used to be before.

My worst one recently was two vans, both towing mini diggers from the same company racing up the dual carriageway trying to overtake one another at 70+ Mental

Within the fleet, the reliable car for the wife is supposed to be her MG ZS EV… Guess which car broke this weekend! MG can’t look at it for a week, and expected my wife to drive a car with broken steering the 15 miles to the dealership… I think not.

Had a little more time on this today… although it pissed it down the entire time! Fitted the fuel pump and a new coil (Lucas… eeek!) to the Nova and…. Nothing. Still no fuel reaching the carb. I tried of an external tank and still no dice. Walked away for a few minutes to gather my thoughts and wondered if the new pump may need priming. Google said generally no, but I did it anyway and it worked! Ran it off the external first, and then connected it all up and it ran! Not only did it run, but it ran on less choke then ever before which was a big bit of progress. I was soaked through by now, and the radiator started emitting a fair bit of steam, so decided that water clearly wasn’t getting round well enough, so time to switch it off! My aim by this point had been to have got this far plus renewed all the fuel lines, refurbished the steel wheels, put new tyres on to aid moving and ready for MoT, and to solve some of the non working interior elements. Alas my deadline has now been reached, and tomorrow it goes off for a holiday, to get a few bits done. In a way a shame a I was building slow, but purposeful momentum!

A superb day out! I stopped locally the night before and was glad I did so as not to have a 5am start! Such a great range of cars there… not least TWO Yugo Sanas!!! Crikey, I needed a sit down after those. Thankfully I recovered enough to be able to see… Good to see various folks, disappointed to miss some others! But a strong AS contingent were present! Looking forward to next year already!
