Wasn't foads thread deleted longer than 30 days ?

Local ? Could of sworn some geordie builders took that to Arizona 20 years ago.

This weekend if anyone's up for a hurl out.

Yup he was off work screeving about clocking up some miles, I'd have been with him if I'd finished the colt.

Yes they definitely last well in eu land. This one was the very first car bought and collected from Germany and popped in yesterday for coffee and still with the mate that bought it after all the work I did on it, still looks just as good as the day I first set eyes on it on the guys drive all those years ago. Can't be arsed to hunt for the collection thread to see how long ago it actually was.

It's now mostly back together but I'm wondering best course of action for this alloy corrosion under the hoses. Its had 50/50mix of antifreeze since I've owned it but still the alloy has furred up quite badly anyone have any ideas on how to stop it getting worse or happening again.

Following night I cleaned surfaces ready for rebuild.

So the time for run number 7 is approaching fast and it's back to mull again, well did say we'd be back. Anyhoo the colt has leaked oil from the head since i bought it and I've even had the headset for 10 of them 😃 patience is a virtu or so they say. Took the bull by the horns and the result one heed off. Took all of an hour and every single nut and bolt was easy to remove, I actually stripped it with a quarter inch socket set my go to tool set.

That's not as true as it used to be the price has shot up quite considerably nowaday as well as the poor exchange rate, Think some countries have realised the cost of classics elsewhere and are rising accordingly. The Croatian dood that sold the galant said he's upping his prices accordingly as plenty traders are fishing in his waters.

I've still got two full rhd dashes left if you want to convert it, I bought 5 as done a few now, They're very easy to convert and the mk1 is easier again.

This one's a v6 tdi 3 litre and 300bhp so no slouch for such weighty things, still do 46mpg and £180 per year to tax.

This one's now 4 year old and as I've mentioned before other than a roof leak it's been fine. I've driven it since my boss bought it new as his fifth vehicle in the fleet, the adaptive cruise is excellent for long journeys and you never know there's a trailer ont back.

Is this like brexit then? first vote wasn't going the way it was hoped so try again 😉

That will be Dez Campbell he's a hard one to beat although Sundays autotest he was just pushed into second place, you want to see him in his rally car christ can he pedal that little pug. Like ive said before you should have a go at the berwick classic, it's like autotesting on steriods 2 days dozens of tests and a loads of miles inbetween. https://berwickmotorclub.co.uk/berwick-classic-rally/

And that time of year again.

Sounds like you will be grinding those other 4 nuts after all.

Those quarter circle ratchet adjusters used to do my heed in on cortinas I've changed my fair share, cheep enough mind used to be a couple of quid.

Yup sure is had it out on a dry day last week as soon be roamers season again and this year be back of to mull a repeat of the very first run 7 years ago. Op I had 3 of those mk2 colts one a turbo back in the day nice cars well bought.

Have done numerous times and always been cheeper having them separate policies for some weird reason. I've even had a few classics that did the same so ended up insuring them separate too.

Well you can only drive one at a time.

Rubber band you say😄 no problem whatsoever the amazon mower weighs in at 975kg plus trailer weight of around 600kg, I break its back all the time and had 4 dumpy bags of sand on the tri axle 16 ft trailer behind it. Mind it did struggle a tad with that load,

Ffs sensitive much 🙄 Strange as from what I've read I've not seen anyone calling you

But what does it matter surely they are all MOT and tax exempt anyway nothing will change that. 🤔 the only difference I can think is one can go on the path.

That's a great idea looks like I need to shift a couple or three then.
