  1. Dunno if any of you are on Twitter but PetrolTed (chap who founded PH, lovely person) is sticking a Yamaha V8 into an Amazon. Gotta love an old Swede.
  2. Fantastic thread, really good, brilliant to see such a long journey enjoyed in such an old car. I’m an AS member for threads just like this. Next time you’re heading south there’s a cuppa in LE7 at Schloß MotorPunk for you and the missus.
  3. GF’s car in for a fix. Courtesy car is solid brown autoshite. Love it. D5 auto that’s not seen a spanner in a decade.
  4. Had a 309 Sri which was fun when it worked. Nice to see a thread on these cracking cars. Good luck.
  5. We have a boat to catch! Car is in Milton Keynes now, I’m in Leicestershire, team mates are in Abu Dhabi and America, and elsewhere. This isn’t easy! I want the car on a boat to America by mid summer, latest. Race is in October but we need to weld in the cage when it’s in America (long story to do with importing a ‘standard’ car for minimal admin hassle). We have some sexy brakes which mean the hubs need modifying, and then we need bigger wheels to go over those brakes (we have parts but not much time). Also - cambelt service (got the parts, no time), plus we accidentally cut a brake line, and there’s a small bit annoying fuel leak from somewhere. Any help we can get would be massively appreciated. We might also have one last drivers slot available for anyone daft enough to fancy this race.
  6. Summary of today. Any help we can get from Shiters would be appreciated. We are behind schedule already…
  7. What does your weekend look like? Mine (and maybe @juular’s) looks like this…
  8. Thanks. Bit of an edit from me in the quote. Who here knows who Slim Borgudd was? Who in America would know? I think that’s pretty obscure enough myself. 😎 Thanks for the comments all.
  9. That bloke is me. Asking for suggestions and any help I can get with anything 👍🏼
  10. QR code is a generic image I nicked off the net! It’ll be a link to a webpage which would then explain the history of the car and it’s famous previous owner and what we’re doing, as the sight of this rolling on American roads will undoubtedly create questions! 👍🏼
  11. Any shiters near Milton Keynes on Saturday morning 9th March? We’re fitting new brakes, PAS pipes, and giving the car a once over. Any help would be massively appreciated. Free coffee and doughnuts. It’s at a proper garage on ramps etc.
  12. Yes. Absolutely 100% yes. It’ll appear on the Lemons YouTube channel and at least a couple of car mags and elsewhere online. Talk to me!
  13. In a farm unit near Milton Keynes, sits Slim’s old 620i and the clock is quietly ticking on the race. There’s sort of a plan. But… Who can design and weld us a very good quality roll cage, from scratch, please? Happy to pay, just need a proper job doing promptly. Finding someone who can help is proving incredibly difficult. The rest of the safety shite can follow, but we need to get started with a cage so we can ship the car to americaland soon. Slim Borgudd drove this Rover 620i, and we’re gonna ship it and race it for 24 hours in the US. This is surely the most shite of autoshite activities. We need your help!
  14. I feel like we’re all learning together as this project progresses. I like the detailed pics. Good luck.
  15. Great thread. I’ve got snapped fanbelt MX5 pics somewhere.
  16. Yes. This. I saw one with 130k on the clock and it was surprisingly fresh. Interiors can get tatty but yeah. One of those.
