Just what 2020 needs to round off the year- a weird monolith in Utah! https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/nov/23/helicopter-pilot-finds-strange-monolith-in-remote-part-of-utah

When I first had my 2cv back in 1993, my dad put the plugs in the oven to bake out the moisture before we gapped Them. I was doing 100 miles a day in it then!

NGK? They seem to unscrew the cap in my experience. The old equem never did.

Sometimes I am amazed... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-55028065

Ordered the suspension control bushes and nylok nuts needed for the fiat. It has four bushes and two nuts in total, £17 delivered next day from Eurosport. No rush to do it, but some parts have a habit of going out of stock just when you want them. I got the 2cv running this morning to go to work. Three or four weeks since the last run but battery still good. The mot is scheduled for Friday and I’ve checked the basic things like tyre pressures and lights ready for my mechanic friend rick to take it away and bring it home serviced and motd. A few more miles than the x1/9 this year, but st

Wot no smarties?

So I’ve won it yes?

Your convertible merc?

Have you seen the Amish barn building in witness?

I see the door has a quality* repair with almost the right colour duct tape.

Marcello Gandini had a very good basic design...

He was mid twenties according to my dad. Car is one of the newest and 32 years old. Even at car meetings few seem to know what it is. a recent favourite photo.

Thanks. The aim is to keep this as original as possible. Lots of people modify them, but they’re only original once. It was only an mot advisory. When time and Covid19 allows I’ll get my mechanic to take a look.

Photos from yesterday’s mot video at the Citroen dealer. They’d not seen an x1/9 before. oil leak looks like it’s from the sump plug but how bad do the front suspension control bushes look? Also what are people’s thoughts on original rubber (£4 each) or a polyurethane set for £42? Presumably these are what is needed? https://www.eurosport-uk.net/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_11&products_id=244&zenid=2qikf6sgrcl7vqm2hl8omq6og3
