Indeed, and it's 7 pin socket anyway which should be a visual check only but couldn't be bothered to argue. -
Cannock Auctions is Dead, the Truckers is very much alive as are most of us, shall we get a gathering of the Midlands Massiv organised?

Brownnova’s eponymous vehicle... It ain’t over for my Nova!
Floatylight replied to brownnova's topic in AutoShite
I looked at a B plate one of these for my 2nd car in 1992, ended up buying an Astra 1.3l, one of my sisters had a J plate 1.2 flair she had off one of my friends for £500, she drove it for a couple of years, at one point the cambelt snapped and it was towed to Mum's I went up with a new belt, timed it up, slid a new belt on and it ran good as new, took about 15 minutes, other sister had a 1.2 saloon which was a big of a banger, whole floor was rotten, seat rocked when you sat in it.. Still great looking cars, love the baseness of brownnovas -

MOT achieved! And glow plugs replaced. Needed some welding and brake pipes but not too bad for a transit! Now to crack on and finish the camper conversion and get some nights out booked! -
Is the GSA back on the road? Good to see the fleet getting some love.

Went to visit the inlaws last night which required a quick jaunt down the M6/M5 getting on there was a Mk7 Civic in front of us, went all the way down the slip road at 30mph on a free flowing motorway then braked joining the main carriageway, M6/M5 junction, travelling along at 60 in lane 1, car in front swerves out sharply to L2 and I find a Passat estate in front of me with its hazards on and I think occupants must still have been in the car. managed to get into lane 2 but was close, got SmollFL to ring 999 and get a closure put on the lane amd get someone out to them. On the way back at one point lanes 1 & 2 closed, to be fair signage wasn't great and traffic still running at 70 but got to the end of the tapered cones at the closure point and there is a golf stopped in lane 2 with its nose almost touching a cone' having been completely oblivious to the fact the lane they were in was closing, he was now trying to pull into a line of cars and trucks in lane 3 from a standing start.. How none of these idiots has not killed someone / been killed is a miracle...

At least they didn't put it through the upvc frame....

Perfect, send an email to HR notifying them you've handed the car back, notify of its location and put the key in the post. 🤣🤣🤣 -
What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread
Floatylight replied to outlaw118's topic in AutoShite
This is what you would call a "survivor car" one of the first batch of HQ registered Laguna II's made it to over 22 years old, I had one of the same batch at 2-3 years old and I don't think it made it to 6 yrs old due to the absolutely appaling build quality
