    lovejoy got a reaction from oman5 in Petrol "Best Before Date" and advice on draining   
    Well, I just drained about 3 galleons of old gasoline from the tank of a Charade that has stood since 2005,
    and my 4stroke "Mastercunt" Lawnmower works perfectly well on it... !   It did look a bit like dark honey though,
    but not syrupy at all.
    I would just bung in a much new fuel as you can, give the car a good  cocktail shake, and off you go to the mothouse... 
    (not sure what other purists on here might say about that though....)

    Well done the Organister ! 
    you will find that the Haynes Book Of Lies will free up the plugs instantly, if used as a hammer !
    good luck with the project  -  these Manuels DO have their uses

    Lovejoy , I have my own garage and tyre equipment nr Redruth.
    Pm me with what you want and I will see what I can do .
    Shiters discounts very much available and I will fit anything you want . The only thing I shy away from are anything much bigger than 225/45 17 especially if on pristine alloys.
     
    I might even have some part worn 155 13 s somewhere if that's any use

    "TASTY BITS"  ?  ..........  well, this springs to mind, but doubt you'd be interested, very expensive to maintain....

     
    -  just couldn't resist that, sorry....   I do have some extra G11 stuff, scattered around, this white dog over here has AC fitted
    (whatta laugh,AC on 993cc !!!)  and in UK I have a complete stripped block minus head, various trim stuff, but NO
    nice alloys that'll fit yours or mine  -   perhaps you'd better knock about with the pink miss instead...?
    (steady, Eddy,   )

    A friend of mine in Dublin is selling his 1970 Cadillac DeVille convertible.
    It's in good original nick and everything works. Jump in and drive away.
    Considering this, the asking price is more than reasonable.

    Hey Dugong - BRILLIANT !!    I will send more info later when I have a bit more free time, but for now,  "wheels"  ....
     
     G10 / G11 Charades are a bizzarre  4 x 110 p.c.d.   -   let me know if you find anything else that fits; I haven't !! 
    you can hammer on a Nissan Sunny rim which is 108 mm,  but it looks shit, and I wouldn't want to drive with 4 of em on...
    - wobbly bolts then  ?
    (p.s.  I have highroof G11 badermatic in Cornwall, and one scrap one similar out here in the wilderness, which is a future
    parts supply  -  but the G10 and 3 x G11's I had before were all 5 speed and bulletproof and went extremely well :  pics to follow.)
