  1. Guildford roads general look like they’ve just been strafed by the Luftwaffe.
  2. My first CX was that Neptune grey.
  3. We’re still working on logistics. Mum is still annoyed I took the mid life crisis merc off to France ten years ago when I last had a birthday ending in 0.
  4. I can’t do May dates - my mum and nieces are preparing a 2cv shaped birthday cake for me with far too many candles for comfort.
  5. We saw a few nice things en-route. I particularly liked the well worn Austin heavy 10? ( gumdrop) with the “ Arouga”swan necked bulb horn. A few MGs, a silver birch DB5, Capri, some American cars, the roof chopped CX surf thing. Lots of people in normal cars waved too.
  6. Lovely scenic drive from Henley this morning, a good turnout from the Surrey madhatters, Pompey puddleducks, Thames Tortoises and Berkshire royals.
  7. I think Citroens in the 1980s and 90s came with a cassette to play. But whether this was music or info I do not know,
  8. drive it day tomorrow. I am joining other 2cvs in a Thames riverside trip from Henley to chertsey. if you’ve an old car and want to tag along we’re meeting at toad hall garden centre in Henley from 10 am.
  9. Just found this in the 2cv. Will you treasure the pen ( it works) if I post it?
  10. That takes me back. I have ( had?) the Jeep and trailer snd a helicopter I am sure. Where they are now is probably the depths of my parents loft.
  11. Most of new car ownership seems to involve fixing previous errors and bodges.
  12. That’s quick! Only posted 2nd class yesterday!
  13. I walked past a place this morning that immediately made me think of the FOD. HEadley, heading under the m25. A silver spirit with a shadow on a trailer behind, plus a red jag xjs and blue mini with union flag on the roof.
  14. Of all the people I know you’re the least likely to need to borrow an appropriate car for any meetings.
  15. What’s the date code? Had to change the 2cv tyres last year because the tread was parting from the side walls, same is happening to the x1/9 as well now.
  16. Been round the m25 to leatherhead ish and back this morning to go for a walk. If anyone is in the vicinity of Epsom downs the Langley vale project is worth a trip. Only recently planted, but in thirty years I am sure it will look completely different. Sculpture and memorial to the servicemen of the First World War. https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/media/49109/langley-vale-wood-remembrance-trail-2020.pdf
  17. Is that cheap for a nine year old car now? I paid that for a three year old c5 with 30,000 miles.
  18. My rich ( very) newish neighbour got his ac cobra finally running today. It turned up before Christmas and never moved. Then a couple of weeks ago did move and had a uk rather than South African plate and then last weekend the roof was removed and it had a tonneau cover. He’s been trying to start it since Friday but today it did ( I think it was the immobiliser ). Then went off to smiths lawn to play polo. i haven’t seem them this year yet, according to another neighbour they’ve been at their chalet in verbier since Christmas. Life must be like living in a James Bond film for some people! The only reason I can think that they rent this apartment is the location for schools and secure parking.
  19. It’s a silver royal jubilee edition, Anthony was asking about it. I did have a stack headlamp green/white polizei Mercedes but not sure where it went. Again is £5 ok posted? I don’t think it can go large letter because of the beacon on the roof.
  20. When we do check it’s signed for by “CV19”
  21. I have heard back from the original interested party in the cortina and silver taxi. He’s stepped back, so these two are available still @NorfolkNWeighand @AnthonyG.
