  1. Clio for spares containing an all in one waterproof is not a bad shout. Some good though incorrect guessing so far. All shall be revealed, later.... Soon as i get the fuck out of here.
  2. Am technically on my merry way. Unfortunately the life of a self employed low cash chod botherer dictates NO DAYS OFF. Have a days graft to do before I head west for this fine steer. I am of course full of joy for the new toy so as far as i'm concerned the journey starts here. The time is not half ten on the 26th Jan 3 years before this little carvan was built. I just ain't fettled the clock since the last hard reset when it went all french on me. Breakfast- porridge and berrys PC - 2, Lentil soup last night plus morning coffee and smokes helped here Conveyance - Trusty 1.4 Berlingo, may or may not contain A frame.

  3. Am willing to bet Romford has a high percentage of white rollers.

  9. Pretty sure this was a build on the transit forum a few years back. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204648719970?itmmeta=01HPXR9PAF98A6KFRE8J58SXHR&hash=item2fa603a662:g:ghMAAOSwkFllxj5F&itmprp=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4P4bKuxX03BALsaZCvxoVWPWsjGThpFIsF9YcUY%2B1nGMP3JDyYxMxWEaWcFn8T1VLTvA%2FMWwp8CU9%2FufUHZ%2B50zxMNEXYUyHzgT%2FFdmWzYJt3jJQS5dEt5L2Sd%2Bb67JcFSskTJFYn5%2B1j77YSl4pSswxgdgU5rOUfKQ3ngUiqipyR0cZV%2B8BhuGN8nC%2FboY0rqeqamPGikySdJe%2BD1loGl1tN3hhuyZmg1YToiZiKvwyR%2BuMyjJCYWFyNvauBtkxc6ZprVFYMyvrjOB6Sl08Z9wVP%2FxdeFH4D%2FXE7r%2FfmQ3x|tkp%3ABk9SR6blpri3Yw
  10. Now i've done some silly shit in my time but jesus woman, think of the overspray!
  11. There's a roundabout that looks the same as that on the spine road in Thamesmead. It too seemingly has an unofficial competition to see who can clear it. To date even through local legend I have heard of nobody who has succeeded and it serves as a reminder of the fact that cars generally don't fly/land well. Despite the run in from Belmarsh prison being long enough to top out any vehicle I have driven I have never personally felt the need though can confirm the bump on the apex is enough to deeply trouble both your suspension and underwear.
  12. Photographing with nice backdrops does work. Me and a mate used to flip old heaps for pocket change and quickly noticed taking the snaps outside the posh houses up the road worked better than snapping them outside my council block. Hope it finds a good home.
  13. An eventful week it has been. Focus got stuffed by a bus. It was parked up at the time, driver stopped and we have witnesses so hopefully fairly painless. Got that recovered home and whilst I could wack a track rod end on it and a mirror from the scrap yard it sits waiting for insurance assessment in the curb looking sorry for itself in an unusable state. Turns out a courtesy car is not included in out policy and though the bus company say they could provide one they have not as yet so naturally I went searching for another vehicle. Didn't search very far as this budget friendly frenchie was in the forsale section. Low miles, a bit of a stutter, and slight braking judder, some scuffs and much dampness. Needs a tyre though one was donated by our very own captainboom which ill fit when i find my gert big lever bar. One of the rears has a screw in it though said screw is doing a good job so haven't touched it yet. Shall bung that when i get a sec. The spare is brand new. Looks alright at a glance and goes well enough. Four adults in it today, cosy. Leaks like a sieve. This has been my main priority to sort. Have done a hatchet job of masticing up the sunroof. Could be cut out and resealed in the future, I however cant be arsed right now and with their rep for leakage and my experience of sunroof's generally sealed shut it is. Scuttle drain was blocked to. Backs up and runs straight into the footwells causing driver all passengers to be paddling like a day down Margate. Invested in a dehumidifier as had been meaning to grab one for the flat anyway. After a mop out this things had another few ltrs in it overnight hopefully more come the morning. Fluids checked like do topped oil to max so can keep tabs. Discs and pads look good to me and it brakes well. The judder feels abs, most likely a fucked ring (oh err mrs). Further investigation required though not overly worrying. Clutch is a little high though no slippage. Am led to believe they are high biting when fresh anyway. Battery swap with the focus as id only just shelled out for that after it gave up. Retaining clamp was a prick to access on refitting involving loss of skin and much expletives. Much joy was had when I dropped the socket and had to remove the battery again and refit in darkness. Berlingo got clotted by a Nissan which decided it wanted to be in my lane on the Barking roundabout after skipping the que and ducking into no space at last minute. No space to stop immediately so i gestured for them to follow me at the next exit, they stayed out third lane, and the exit after though eventually stopped behind me in the first available layby where listening to their ranting raised voice and very rude diatribe it transpired that it was all my fault as i had driven into their lane and tried to kill their child. The fuck. I gave details and showed the depth of my patience for 40 minutes remaining very calm before reporting them to the police as they refused to give any details. I then called them a cunt and wished them a shit day before taping my mirror back on and fucking off. Not much else to report really. Berlingo pre crash had its second wash in 13 thousand miles, came up quite well. Little trailer got greedy boards and a lid Kawasaki got some new brakes and bearings then ripped around the valleys Need to make a list for a scrapyard forage and the transit is not inviting a sale sans ticket so need to sort that too. Himi needs the headset greasing up and back brake is binding afuckinggain! Due out trail riding on that next weekend so shall di an eve shift in it in the week. Bonus clio bonnet stay fixeration pic there. I is top mechanic.
  14. Saves buying a 7 seater, just chuck the step kids in the trailer.
  15. 😂 Did mean car though guess works for both dependant on if you're the type who likes to upgrade.
  16. With thanks to @AxWomble and @CaptainBoom the Mrs has commuted to work in her new wip and very happy with it she is too. Note to all who buy the partners cars; set the bar low. Small improvements have started. Colour coded gaffer tape to retain the classy looks. Also making me smile this morning; Porridge to go with cherrys And warm and dry office shoes;
  17. The rattle can script started badly and petered off rapidly. I did however extend the cable and make the lights work on my lunch break which is a major step forward.
  18. Well this family are now the proud owners of two magnificent* french fancies. Pez shot on the way round the south circ. Only stopped for filters to be honest but hey. Back home safe and quick test drive reveals it to be exactly as advertised. Damp and slightly broken. With a quick fettle i think it'll do just fine. Despite many trials and tribulations I am yet to find any hate for small French cars.
  19. Am really hoping this is going to be another great weld fest. You know it makes sense, we are here to be entertained after all.
  20. dunno to be honest but it's on the useful number plate list for next time i need to move my transit. I jest, fraud is wrong. shall go with prittstick and leaves.
  21. registered as minibus and given the extra grace period?
  22. 'Perfect for funeral directors trying to create a green business' Don't want to be starting a grow in that round here mate you'll have the window clapped in no time.
  23. I hold high hopes though fear it falls into uneconomical repair. Have sourced a replacement from these pages whilst we wait and had been planning on downsizing to something a bit more frugal anyway so maybe a blessing in disguise. If we can get book back on it then that would double what i paid for it. Fingers crossed.
