  1. It’s very much in use. Was smoking around Selsey & Sidlesham at lunchtime today.
  2. Shonky conversion of an ice cream van into some kind of camper spotted near Goodwood.
  3. After uncovering a gas pipe buried less than 3” deep in the front garden in November, and the subsequent faff getting SGN to drop it to the correct depth, I finally have off road parking. The other side of the concrete path will be done once the weather remains fine and the grass isn’t like a marsh. Will be comfortable parking for 2 cars then, and not the crush we currently have. Citroen is in the garage.
  4. Welcome! A 309 or 2 will often pique the interest of a fair number of regulars on here. One of my favourite 80s cars and a better steer than many of its class rivals - driven a few of them but never actually owned one. Looking forward to seeing more.
  5. Spent most of yeaterday trying to find the water ingress on the black Saab. The recent inclement weather certainly hasn’t been helping, and CaptainBoom thinks it was coming in from the real light clusters but I didn’t see any sign of old water ingress here. I also put a new aerial in but still no radio reception. Cannot locate the water ingress anywhere, but judging by the passenger side of the boot is wetter and has more surface rust I would say it’s either the hole the aerial pokes through in the rear wing, or the rearmost window in the C-pillar leaks somewhere. After reinstalling the aerial I squirted water all over the car with the hose and saw no ingress, and as the aerial retaining nut on the outside was barely finger tight I’m hoping that is problem solved. The boot carpets and fabric lining is out of the car so it can dry out. Meanwhile the last tonne of substrate for my driveway should be arriving today, hopefully by the end of the week it will be laid.
  6. I’ll put myself in the ‘Maybe’ pile for this one.
  7. Didn’t GL trim Mk2s have halogen (square) headlamps as well? It does boggle me somewhat how trim levels used to be worked out, especially when base models has a trim level which would normally indicate an amount of grandiose. ’Super’ was also often used to denote the ultimate misery spec,
  8. Isuzu Bighorn. Austin Allegro SS. Apparently it meant ‘super sports’. Allegros weren’t bad cars but certainly not sporty. Many 1970s de Luxe trims normally meant base model. Fine if well specced but often meant rubber flooring and one external mirror.
  9. My dad and his workmates loved hooning their HA around Trafalgar Square making it backfire to scare the pigeons. Being employees of GPO Telephones/Tittish Bellycom your phone bill money was wisely spent.
  10. I would like to nominate this as Feb 2025 calendar shot
  11. Congratulations. Amélie is gorgeous.
  12. Up to 1989/90. I drove an ‘88 Hiace when I worked at Brands Hatch which was a 5-speed column shift. It was like this one but snot green. I think the column shift carried on in Asian market Hiaces for a few years after. Bedford/Vauxhall Midi was certainly column shift until very late in production. Column shifters had a better action than floor.
  13. Did a swim this morning (600m) then set about sorting the absolute mess that is my shed. Picked up 3 4ft x 2ft 12mm ply sheets last week to make tool boards. Some crappy Amazon terry clips arrived over the weekend so I set about sorting things after lunch. 2 are in the shed holding up my racking and the hand tools I can find, I’m missing a set of 3 G-cramps, a panel saw and a shitload of screwdrivers. They’re probably in the garage, the shelves in which are equally messy, the third sheet of ply will become a tool board in the garage, but for that I shall need more clips and hooks. I’ll get some better terry clips this time though.
