  1. I may not have ever owned a Galaxy but I have plenty of experience including to Europe. One was a friend's company 2.0 manual and it struggled to climb out of the port of Dover with 5 guys and enough booze to keep us all drunk for a month! Another trip was a different friends German registered 2.3 Auto going to Hungary 5 up and I was banned from doing over 100 mpg because it was frightening changing lanes. They are not so bad.
  2. Suppose they had a show locally you were excluded from because you didn't have a Ford! @Slowsilver to the rescue with the loan of his Mondeo. A good day with 30+ Fords and my Car of the show was the MK3 Zodiac. Only just though, I loved the Model T and XR2 as well.
  3. I have driven a few Range Rovers over the years and found the P38 Auto Diesel to be too slow even for me. When it was time to buy a P38 I bought a 4.6 V8 petrol at 16 mpg and a friend always drove her 4.6 in sport and got 14 mpg. I was happy with it at the time but opted for the 3 Litre diesel when I went to L322 to get 22 mpg.
  4. Thanks for looking. Mrs6C has just found it in the underfloor storage compartment.
  5. I didn't ask, but they ofen do have cars for sales they think are worth saving.
  6. Today I relived an experience I used to often have, I visited a scrap yard. Tipped off by the Volvo 700/900 Facebook group that there was a Volvo 940 in Smith’s of Bloxhams yard I visited with @Slowsilver to get a headlight wiper and some odd bits of trim for the Volvo 940. Unfortunately we missed the boot trim by a day but manged to gets some other bits. Of all the scrap yards I used to visit in the 1980’s and 1990’s this one was always the friendliest and fair with their prices. The good news is the same applied today and I enjoyed the experience of visiting the yard.
  7. Field of Dreams Weekend (FoD) I am planning to open our small holding up again this year to Autoshite members. Whether you want to sit in a chair, chat and drink tea or fix something of yours or ours you welcomed. Free camping on site. Date to be set yet, but I am thinking the first could be 20th-21st April or 27th-28th April Update First FoD now set for 20/21 April If you have not been before PM me for joining instructions
  8. Our convertible had been previously restored before we got it, but painted badly and the paint fell off allowing some rust. Worst was the rear deck panel where the water sat between the steel and the paint with the result of thousands of little perforations. I had to have a new panel hand made at vast cost. Since the wheel fell off it has reveals a bit of rust on a front inner arch/floor that needs repairing.
  9. I don't know how I missed this thread with the word "504" in the tittle. Great job we need more 504s. At Rustival yesterday there were two, a RHD 1.8 Auto Saloon and a LHD Diesel Estate. I have a 504 convertible which while taken on as a project has not run properly in the 15 years I have had it. The accusation is that it is the Kugelfischer injection at fault and then there was the wheel falling off incident!
  10. It’s only a 12 valve and pretty mundane under there.
  11. If you look at the hundreds Facebook photos nobody pointed their camera at the Sigma. Also only one person spoke to me about the car while I was sat in it.
  12. Turns out there was not much love for the Sigma at Rustival in spite of it rarity.
