I think only three of those are technically timing chains - the other appears to drive pumps and shizzle.  That's still two too many though.

Christ above. Why do manufacturers think things like these are a good idea? Bet this was thought up during a marketing meeting. Easy to break, difficult to repair and expensive to replace. Perfect for modern money grabbing corporate tw*ts

You want shit design? This beauty is on a floodlit podium in the foyer.

 

 

Each time you look at it the engineer inside you dies a little more.

What is that out of? 4 timing chains or am I being obtuse? 

Wiper blades are in desperate need of a change, they've now literally started bouncing across the windscreen.

This looks like its airbrushed... is it a poor previous repair? @leanycan

This is the way it is just now. It’s look to have been repaired before. My plan is to get the roof sanded down back to bare metal and either do it black or vinyl roof. 

Nothing major mechanical just body work issues on the Audi. Bumper has been knocked and doesn’t sit in right. However, the roof has got bubbling on the edges and some really odd paint cracking which is now covered in a dodgy gaffer tape bodge job.

Oooft... the perverse diesel enthusiast in me wants to run this through centre of Glasgow, whilst belching thick black smoke out of two great big sodding stacks on the back of the cab, cutting several years off the life of eco mentalists in my wake,

Where is this usually held? Thinking on coming along  this month. 

I should be there hopefully. Didnt make it last year. Hopefully I'll have picked up another work contract back down south so travelling wont be too long. I'll probably be there in the recently acquired A4.

Any clues mr nova?

Following with interest!

Well bought. Looks like a good wee car. I hope you can sort the rust out and keep it running for another few years.

I love the fact that there are still some absolute bargains you can buy for the price of a months finance on a new Skoda...

How much per ticket... conventional maths and bank balance say I cant have this. Man maths says I can... provided its on a roffle ?

I have one from my old skoda fabia albeit it is just half a dash pic but still shows how it was a rather satisfying green colour. 

Best of luck with sale, that looks like a minter. Can't believe a motor from the year 2000 is soon to be 20 years old!

Was a good today, first time meeting fellow shiters. Will need to get to another meet.

I thought you were getting our spare ticket?

Apologies. I’d forgotten. I’ll stick with the original plan and take your ticket ?

Scotland are running approx 15 late for breakfast. Eta 0915

Where are people meeting for brekkie? I’m not far away from the event so can be there at any time.

Just now, eifion said:

I have one. I though I was taking two cars, but one's not ready.

Would it be possible to meet you before the event and give you the money for it?

I still need to get a ticket off someone if there is one going spare

Well I’m up and awake. Will probably not be there for all of the day as need to get back and get a kip before my shift tonight. 

My cars not washed and not hoovered lol. Will be hiding it away so it’s not an embarrassment lol

Also probably bringing the camper for multiple tea making facilities, it has a wind out awning for us to shelter under too. 

I’ll clear out the boot of the fabia and we can use it. It has plenty of space with it being an estate.

I think the plan is to arrive about 10 but that would mean two disorganised shitters and 3 kids arriving on time.

 

I'll PM you my number

Jeez. I’ll need to set an alarm clock haha! Pretty much slept for the last 12 hours, only got up at 9 to wander off to the pub haha

I think the plan is the same as before except we need to find a way to get the spare ticket to leanycan.

Its a bit late to post it so he'll probably need to wait for us outside the gate.

I’ve only just noticed this post. I’ll be there. I’ve just started working nights again so my body clock is all over the joint. Unless I pick up a car tomorrow which is the plan I’ll be attending in the fabia of much rust. I only stay about 40 mins away from the event. What time are you all planning to get there?
