Got promoted. #chuffed

Sorry to miss you all, even @hairnet (slightly) - see you next time. In other news, all the Dyane jobs are done! I even managed to do some electrics, which apparently work...

That's at least the second @Six-cylinder Jaaaaaaaag that @Talbot's killed! Only temporarily though, cos he's a bit of an XK-whisperer... 😎

Three was enough. Little French cars used to be light, and cash was scarce post-WW2. Four would have been too many, and the mechanical/practical disadvantages of two are obvious! 'Smol' cars are no longer smol, and can weigh about the same as a minor asteroid. They often have five-bolt hubs with the same PCD as larger vehicles in the range, so rationalising the robotic assembly machinery. Volkswagen Group, I'm looking at you...

Annnnd AH'M OOT... 🙁 See you at the June meet, shiters!

Small project on the Dyane, should anyone have an idle moment on Saturday and care to join me: * fit new washer bottle/pump and jets * fit bonnet hooks * Araldite three press-studs for the canvas sunscreen

The 'centre' of Milton Keynes...?

Only if someone died inside, AIUI - or it's so... 'contaminated'... that it's beyond effective rescue.

I knew we'd find a use for him eventually... 😁

In this case, no. Just... NO.

Don't get me started on fucking pharmacies... 🤬 Annnnnd breathe.

Claire's going loco... 😉

No cart springs, so a Fronterror it ain't. Looking at the wheels, I'd go with Shogun. Whatever it was, it is VERY DEAD!

It would have been fun surprising people with the Dyane! Next time... 😎

Thought it would be a Volvo... 😉

"Young Gun" George 11th in race 1 yesterday, after a great run.

2CV race at 3:15:50...

Hence DB's very sensible '£1800 deposit' requirement! 😁

Amateur... 😁 I suppose at least I can use extreme man-maths to spread recent expenditure across 31 years of ownership!

Drives beautifully, that XM - better than either of mine.

Car seems very happy with the wider/taller rubber. Managed to get the ignition to talk to the app, so used my phone as an 'electronic dashboard'. Not really big enough, so will try a tablet and Bluetooth.

Details on how you know this, please!

As soon as I saw the first pic, I thought "Llandudno!" The Owd Giffer and the Mothership grew up there and I lived there until I was two.
