Crackers

Looks lush. FOMO = Large.

"I am selling a tyre with a wheel attached. If you would like a wheel with a tyre attached, I'm afraid you'll have to look elsewhere."

The gapping of the chrome finishers around the quarter glasses and rear screen is truly laughable. I know 70s Buget Yank isn't exactly a recipe for quality, but whoever signed that off needed a slap.

Made in the Midlands with <brummie> proide. </brummie>

It's not that bad. Everything there is absolutely reversible in a matter of hours and let's face it, it's people who modify them like that, who give them the values they now have. If it wasn't for them, they'd have all been scrapped.

Nope, still confused. I posted about wheels and suddenly we're onto choke jokes (snigger)?

As I have said before on other threads, there's a significant difference between a shite car and a shit car.

I have literally no idea what you're talking about. Wrong thread?

🎵 THE WHEELS ARE BACK IN TOWN 🎵 FFS Phil, not now! Before/After: Almost unrecognisable! The pristine finish will need toning down a bit as they're far too shiny for the car they're going on, but that can be sorted in time and they will naturally weather in with use. The main thing is they've been done properly, and for not a huge amount more money than an equivalent DIY job. Next job is to get a set of tyres fitted (we're thinking Avon Rangemasters, but having experienced Avons perishing very quickly, I don't really want him to spend a load of cash on something that won't last.) General Super All-Grips or Michelin XZLs are other contenders but are significantly more expensive and probably not worth it. We've looked at budget options but there's not really that much more money to be saved, unless he finds some at the Beaulieu autojumble this weekend. Dad's been working through a few issues including a persistent leak from the water outlet at the back of the head to the heater box, which he thinks is now sorted. Unfortunately now the header tank appears to have sprung a leak so that'll be either plastic-welded back up with a soldering iron or replaced. I'd like to give it an oil change before the FoD trip as it's quite black now, and dad's back isn't really in a position to be working underneath a car at the moment so I'll do that one next time I visit. Hopefully with that sorted, it'll then be ready for a FoD road trip at the start of June. Anyone fancy being my official escort vehicle, y'know, just in case, like?

I'm going with Maudslay Mikado, with a home-brew cab on. Hard to make out the cab shape in the shadowy photo. Grille and badge are the right shape, plus starting handle location and the diagonal name badge up the top left of the radiator.

I agree, I'd like to see what their idea of "inadequate repairs" are on the underside, when it's quite clearly passed in previous years with them.

Of all the things to advertise your event with, they go with that?!

Not this time round boss. June weekend should be a goer.

Spacing looks OK to me, I'd assume it was either the Citroen logo on the left, or missing the BS markings and maker's info. Keep the private reg on it.

This reminded me of this one in the posh parking last month at Goodwood. Where else would a Blower Bentley and a caaaaancil estate Astra end up parked next to each other?

I like those headlights on NAs to be honest. Happy car is happy 😛

Humour me, where'd the 6 come from?

Never mind me, I've just looked at the pictures again and realised where the container has ended up, so much easier. For some reason I'd forgotten that part of the yard* exists, and that the lorry had gone round by the black Range Rover.

Colour me impressed that they got that round the corner!

Hope you all have fun with it! I'd love to be there for the first train but unfortunately exams next week mean I'm phoning in sick until the June meet.

Not half - she's off the rails...

Nearby, without saying too much... Come to think of it, I did pop in very briefly, but pretty much turned around as I passed the paddock as all the cars were being packed up so they must have quit a bit earlier than normal. That blue Noble followed me out the gate. The Atom, if it's the same one that was there a couple of weeks ago, is a supercharged Honda jobbie and is, in no uncertain terms, fucking fast. Edit: also, the LTD seems to be a permanent resident. Not sure if it's a Goodwood vehicle or belongs to a marshall, but it seems to have been there every time I've popped in this year.

I believe the ECU is fixed in front of the passenger footwell, between the BIW and the carpet/false floor. I never noticed, until my mate drove my car and I had a double take as I got in the passenger seat!

That's GooWoo isn't it? I heard the trackday going on as I came out of work on Friday afternoon but bailed on having a look for some reason.
