'action shot'!! Deffo a good call.... Well Comfy 🥰 🚙💨

I have a broad, persistent bruise across my lower back..... I believe it's caused by my grinding on the steel seat perimeter @SuziQ 😕 I have [basically....] pounded the seat squab foam flatter than a pitta = lardy fu##! Option 1: scrounge a comfy car seat from scrapper/eBay... £££ Option 2: buy a 'comfy seat' off eBay ££ 🍾🥂👌 ..... Gr9 🥳 🚙💨

I was walking along the opposite side of the road from the Odeon, must have been about 15, and I heard a "creakkk!" >> Shout "Watch Out!!" >> I half turned just as the [think it was second bottom] letter casing crashed to the pavement 😱😱 There was a guy walking past and $hit Me... He had a close, CLOSE shave... Fellow on the ladder looked, err, a bit flummoxed 😮🤦 TrooStoriez

Bonchance 🚙💨

As I was saying .... https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/500903-weber-3236-dgv-on-a-74212x/ Maxspeedingrods 'chinesium Weber clones' are to be had for under a ton... 🎱👍

I understand the 'Jerkoff' carb can be, err, *finessed for poke.... *Relative term 🤣 Weber can be slapped on, webbiemining of old Skoda forum postings would be somewhere to look 🚙💨

.... nowadays, being followed by a Recovery flatbed, the guess is "what's broken down [..again]!" 🤣 🚙💨

@Joey spud... "A favorite get you home fix if you had lost feed to a coil or fuel pump was to unplug the dead wire and run a wire from a headlamp instead so lamp on engine runs,lamp off engine stops obviously can't do that nowadays." Cool.... I'm doing exactly that to control my DRLs. Taking power from the dash lights [SuziQ has earth switching so very messy taking a direct on/off to the relay] 👍

Hmm..... ex Cat Pi$$ Tarp + dissolving MOT 10yr ago! 🤔

To add.... Another TADTS 🙄🤦.... The U-cup, holding the bobweights, is hammer/peened onto the vertical dizz shaft. Ergo..... 😱 The peen sort of work/ages to the point the shaft spins but the rotor arm doesn't* *Ask Me How I Know My own fix was a 2quid dizz ripped out of a 120 & rebuilt to original 130 (springs + weights) .... Good as Gold 👍

@wesacosa..... Err, well >> chancers, wot 🙄 https://www.carandclassic.com/car/C1579735 I mean...... LOOK AT THE REAR ARCH 🙈🙉🙊

Oof..... 😮 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266247066386?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=QSgOvGa_QP-&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=0j0mh1UTRLi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY ANOTHER...... MOT ace!

A random FTP (rare, I will observe..) and it stalled in traffic. Absolutely no go!! Breakdown guy (yupp, I always have had Green flag) did the 'no go >> walk through' = NO GO! 😱 *phone a friend*...... Mate tells him it was likely the 'anti run on/air valve' in the side of the carb... "Percussive Maint, M8!" = A hefty thwack with his screwdriver handle.... and BrummBrumm 🥂🍾 Knowledge Is Power, monami 🎱

Price, about xxmoons ago! 😕

.... To add = my experience of sitting for long periods, in queuing traffic, the engine will get HOT.... The rad fan switch is in the FRONT RAD and will lag the heat cycle. My 100% fix was a dash switch 👍

Hmm.... Ex 130LSE (trailing links) & Rapid owner. Stonking lights, woodstove grade heater 👌 Replace ALL the rubber hoses (especially the front green 'bleeder' with the brass valve).... Starter motors are toss *sample size 2cars!! #personal choice#..... Weather will ruin spare wheel/alloy = I put mine in front boot. PubLore buster..... Well, as an Ex IMP nutter >> I never had a 'bag o sand' in any of my cars 🤦 Lovely things, I would easy have another ✔️

DIY option for LakkaPeel roof.... 🚙💨

I see the car was on SORN.... Taxed 1st April..... Someone is having the summer on wheels 👍 .... 🥂🍾

Christ on a Bike......... 🙈🙉🙊 Me..??

Aye, well....... Nothing interesting on the Box 🙄 Away through Hexham, over to Alston, drop back to Brampton, Military rd, back to Gosforth MacciD 🍦.... Tynemouth along the Coast.... *A flotilla of MK1 GTi LHD (fresh off the ferry @Wallsend) on a EuroTour, passed us at Twice Brewed. 🚙💨

@hairnet... See what you mean, about Chas lll 🙄 I'm currently thumbing through BBC Freeview 'redbutton' pages, for news & weather.... Tuned to BBC4 (offair = no livestream) so I can read the news in peace 🤣. Americans? Brothers, separated by a common language! Bonchance, monami 🙈🙉🙊

This is now army green..... Seen today in SouthShields, driven with 'elan' by a guy with a Surfers Beard..... Any Geordie BL lickers have this on their radar... 🤔

Over on Utoob.... Guy bought a sound bottom 4dr and welded a totally dissolved Coupe top on.... Same car [he explained the tags & flanges as they made both 4dr and coupes to order] and spotwelded different 'tops' on. @.. coldwarmotors Cool 😎👌

@STUNO... IIRC the IMP was Assembled C.K.D. down under. Someone did knock out 'Imp Utes'.... Not sure if they were factory approved but deffo 'a thing!' https://www.sunbeam.org.au/?p=314 🚙💨
