What's your hibernation method Benjyp? Do you do more than stick a cover on them?

 

I left a couple of cars in the garage over the winter last year and they didn't like it. Needed new brake discs, electrical things stopped working etc.

Blow tyres up to 40PSI to avoid flat spots, roll em around every few weeks. Batteries off and I winter charge. Start them every 6 weeks or so and run them around the yard for 20 mins or so...back to bed. Pop ethomix in the tank t avoid ethanol rot on pipes....not had any issues.....

Britain is FULL of shizzle....

 

I was driving along the A66, out of Teesside, the other day, and a trailer with a White Mk1 Escort estate was rattling along.... not TOO far from an MOT, to my untrained eye, but deffo a 'barn find'......

I had my grandfathers VDP in 1989 was a great car....the sellers not playing ball at the moment, so will keep you posted.

I had a mg 2.0i reg H866NOB, a flipping excellent car although the steering only had power assistance in one direction.

Did they get the work experience lad making up number plates, or Stevie Wonder?

 

Looks odd, dunno if it's the lighting or is it beige? I thought they'd stopped being all beige by the era of smooth lights and LX models.

I've "been away" from Autoshite for several months (well, about 18, to be precise!) and have missed you all, and this collection is truly STAGGERING!!! That "F" reg Lada is one I'm sure I know... Wasn't it found lurking at the back of a Lada dealer that closed down, with about 12 miles on the clock? It's PERFECT!!!

If anyone is attending this years classic NEC, then my Lada will be there...on the new FSO/Lada stand

P.s, excuse the quality. Trying to take pictures indoors, using a mobile, under household lighting = not great. Had to use the flash to show the picture/colour better :oops:

Surely you could be interviewed for some British Airways glossy magazine?

 

So much better than having to read about some tit who is photographed driving his Porsche Cayenne off to inspect his vineyard (or similar 'lifestyle' nonsense).

That Alpine looks lovely 8) 8) 8)

 

That Iveco looks like the Cyanide Steve mobile that I recall assisting to push out the mud at Shitefest 2012. Is that the newly refurbished trailer that has delayed him rescuing Caro pick-ups from the Midlands...???

I'll load up some pictures tomorrow. But yes Steve Caz my good friend has delivered the Alpine to me and taken a rather special Skoda South....post-12144-0-41199600-1415217085_thumb.jpg

Still waiting to update pictures of the Alpine, but this lovely 1 owner Peugeot 309 with 16,000 miles arrives this week...post-12144-0-05283500-1415451275_thumb.jpgpost-12144-0-16674700-1415451297_thumb.jpgpost-12144-0-99308400-1415451309_thumb.jpgpost-12144-0-01591100-1415451323_thumb.jpg

Great stuff ! Can we have some more pictures of that Favorit ? I've always liked them, I reckon they are Nuccio Bertone's finest* creation !
