Blake's Den got a reaction from Remspoor in Dollywobbler's Consolidated Tat Thread
@LightBulbFun and @dollywobbler - an Oltcit update! I've spotted them both today. I managed to get a sneaky photo which I have heavily edited to disguise the location to protect the owner:
What we appear to have is H842H** in a garage tent and another Oltcit wrapped in tarpaulin. Given that the one which had been on fire was H842HTA I'm pretty sure these are both the ex HubNut pair. H842HTA is MoT's until February 2025........
I recall that there was a difference in the front bumpers between both cars. To me it looks like the one under the tarp has its front bumper missing?
I shall keep an eye out for it on the road.

Blake's Den got a reaction from Remspoor in 1989 Austin Mini 'Designer' special edition project + bonus Mini Cooper content
More progress on the Designer! I've fitted the rear subframe which means that I am one step closer to being able to put it back on to its wheels. I've also given the inside of the sills and the cavities on the subframe a liberal coating of Dynax 50 which should hopefully keep the tin worm at bay for a bit.

Blake's Den got a reaction from Coprolalia in Shite petrol stations
I used to work in a shite petrol station many years ago. We had three pumps which weren't computer controlled, you had to look out of the window to see how much fuel someone had put in! If three people turned up at once it was chaos.
The till didn't work either and wasn't plugged in. It had a cable to pull to open the tray. I once started a shift at 8am and the first customer came in at 10:45.
DIfferent times!
