John picked us up in his lovely Probe, and had a great chat as he took us to the Prelude. Fell in love instantly with it. Absolutely stonking motor.

I forgot the pez station shot but I did a fill.

Stunning from all angles!

The money shot. Gauges!

Just taking it back down the line down, it will no doubt be great. Many thanks to John for being a great seller and all round great bloke!

Oh, and I'm already 120 miles down the line. It's driving absolutely brilliantly.

One stop left. Did a wee!

Nothing eventful is happening here.

Not even anything for the poo tally.

But in 90 minutes time, I'll be the happiest man in the UK!

Making my way through London while being baffled at it all...

Made it!

Poor Kia needs a new home. A really, really cheap new home.

The Kia is Glenn's problem, thankfully!

...Prelude?

Only other thing that comes to mind is K11, and they're hardly interesting.

DING DING DING We have a winner!

It is indeed the roffle Prelude I won last month. Much excite.

Used schoolgirl’s panties.

Nearly at that there London, for a change of train to go up north.

It is from the land of the rising sun, and a few people own one on here.

No to both guesses...

Before I came back from deployment in June, I only had owned three cars in ten years, one at a time.

Since then, I've bought three more cars, all from Autoshite, best dealership network out there!



Pretty certain I won't need it, but bag is packed.



My chariot to the train station. Roof was down naturally.



And on a posh deserted train. Ace.

Is it bad that I'm excited about running about in a car with mismatched panels, and possibly even a front wing missing?

Sounds normal for here.  We'll need to see proof of this though!

Put the Skoda Fabia up for sale on twatbook, usual messages coming in.  It's a car I think that's too shit for Autoshite, so you'll probably won't see it on here.

Unfortunately the 30mm was starting to round it off.  I'll retry with the 1 and 1/8", but it looks like it's been held in with sealant which could be another issue. The initial try to get the socket on was a bit of a pain because bits of the wing are in the way. 

Thanks for the tips though gents!

Glad to hear that! ^

FatHarris came home from weekenders once, leaving his Rover 75 parked on the steep driveway, and went to bed.  A couple of hours later we heard a big bang, as far as we could tell the brakes cooled and contracted, handbrake stopped holding it and it rolled into the neighbours house.  The house was fine, but the 75 had a right angle embedded into its rear.  Stayed like that until it was scrapped.

I don't have any of these issues luckily, the 93 has to be in reverse to let the key out.  A smart solution in my eyes.

Finally tried to get more work done on Moleman, namely replacing the thermal cut in switch for the radiator fan.

It's not a 28mm bolt, nor is it a 30mm bolt.  I know have to find a 29mm socket or spanner.

The battery appears totally kippered too.  Arses.

I'm looking to shift Georgie's Fabia. It's got its issues but it will get you to where you want to go. It has MOT til Boxing day but I was thinking about getting another one put on it.

Top Woollard achieved. Made it's way to Plymouth no dramas. Quick break here then onwards back home.

So when's the "Fabia For Sale" ad going up?

To be honest, I'm not sure. I think it's too shit for Autoshite personally. The passenger window is off its runner, the bodywork is scuffed up, I think it needs a CPS. I hate working on it, and wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

Low miles though, and MOT til December. £250 will take it straight away!!

Twosmokes?

 

If it is well done.

It is indeed. A smashing little motor.

I also love the Saab. I forget what insanely reasonable amount he paid for it but I remember being extremely jealous when told.

 

Also, THE TWINS HAVE MX-5s!

£450, five years and 60k ago. It's the only irreplaceable car in the line up.

Well technically it's the missus's, however I will definitely be taking it out a few times!

Isn't she a beaut?

Bloody bulletproof, had it years and it does the job.

We're here.

Mrs Harris's birthday is coming up. I hate her Skoda Fabia, it's gutless, unreliable and a generally unpleasant experience all round.

All aboard the TurboSwede! The clutch is starting to get high on here but I'm sure it'll handle the journey just fine.

Today's collection was purchased from a shiter, and stored with another shiter for a week. Originally going to pick this up next week however the Fabia's issues necessitate an earlier pick up.

It's nothing like a Fabia.

I won my first Raffle last week, I'm really excited for this one.  Surprisingly though, Footman James said they just flat out don't insure Honda Preludes.  Absolutely barking if you ask me.

I came clean. She was surprisingly fine about it
