Three Speed Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 The Traction now has a nice new battery and is all lubed up so I took it out for some essential supplies and found this gloriously faded Nova which pleased me very much. Not least because of the Shere Hill Climb sticker. spartacus, danthecapriman, Datsuncog and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarrenKC53 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Whatever happened to seeing cars with this kind of damage around frequently? I remember it being common in the 80s, I'd guess it's perhaps slight knocks now generally renders modern cars unusable and unable to be bodge repaired.

mitsisigma01 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Probably a combination of more owners used to have 3rd party insurance so just kept shite running and nowadays insurance companies writing things off even if someone's only farted on it and modern shite seems to crumple too expensively easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanciamatt Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Also modern cars the bumpers are plastic usually, so slight bumps may do damage behind but the bumper springs back into place. Years back they designed cars so the front or rear end was solid to protect the passengers, but all it did was move the damage further back, the A post area was always a weak spot so it kinked there, or on a saloon it would break it's back at the C post. Now days they are designed so cabin is solid and front and rear end are the crumple areas, so when you see a relatively small accident and the front ends have desintrigated, it's all bolt on stuff.

NigeT Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Some assorted Edinburgh chod from the past couple of weeks. Don't think the beamer is a bona fide Alpina. The Saab has been around for a while. 380SL has over 200,000 miles on the clock. davocano, DVee8, Disco Fever and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spartacus Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I had a ride in one of these in about 1980, I had no idea at the time but it must of been nearly new, owned by a USAF pilot stationed at RAF Alconbury.

More of a 525i. It is, however, tacky, especially with those plates. It hasn't had any VED since September 2019 either. NigeT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_lihp Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Double whammy outside a local auction house, this pair have both been sat there for years and neither are getting any better with the passage of time. I think they use the DAF for storage but I have no idea why the S-Class is still there other than it's probably terminally broken and/or rotten - there's no numberplates on it so can't even do a cheeky MOT history check. Apologies for the rubbish photo, it was a very sunny evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traction gearbox explosiveness was a while ago now and the car is running fine. Albeit with a dying battery. To be replaced when I can be bothered to take the bonnet off to do it. It shares daily driver duties with the DS which is currently mid starter motor replacement. Expect some progress this weekend. I’ve been using the Saab recently too as the weather had been a bit iffy. But there’s little better than a hydraulic Citroen for tackling the floods - the french electrics are at the top but this does not apply to a GS / GSA. Expect a picture to prove the Citroens move soon. How on earth did you find this place, or were you already aware? Actually I think there are are few CCC people on here. You should start a thread on your fleet, I think running a pair of ancient Citroens everyday will get a good response. LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
