NE1 4 Christmas Charades ?

[scruff]

Say hello to Lady Jane please dugong

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

Has this been collected yet?

[dugong]

Yup.

 

Am on my way back with it. Having a break at Taunton Services on the M5.

 

Car's behaving well. It needs a bit of fettling but it's nowt Junkman can't sort out.

[twosmoke300]

Good to know you made it that far anyway. Good to meet you today .

[Junkman]

I'm having a heart attack before this is over.

[Station]

Yup.

 

Am on my way back with it. Having a break at Taunton Services on the M5.

 

Car's behaving well. It needs a bit of fettling but it's nowt Junkman can't sort out.

I stopped there when I bought the Justy and the MR2 (both from the same area).

It was gr8.

[Junkman]

Well, the car made it here in one piece.

This can't be said about Dugong, and for that reason, I delivered him straight to bed.

Next new news tomorrow, when I see it in daylight for the first time.

[vulgalour]

If your Dugong is difficult to get started in the morning, try applying a dose of bacon and strong tea.  I'm sure I read this in the 1983 Dugong brochure.

[Junkman]

Dugong did a valiant job getting this thing here, enduring HM's railways and all that sort of rot.

Then he drove this thing up here, 350 miles at 14,000 OMGRPM bader glory making his ears bleed.

He is a hero if there ever was one.

 

In true Austrian fashion, I'm going to top up his doubtless depleted bodily fluids with an insane amount of beer tomorrow evening.

[twosmoke300]

Woo hoo. What a hero

[skattrd]

We await tales of dugongs journey with baited breath.

 

The cars got to be a decent runner to make the journey from Cornwall, plus a bit of a de-coke on the way up.

[Junkman]

Well, there isn't any oil left in the engine now, which just shows how coked up it must have been.

Oil filter on order. After a nice oil change, it should remedy itself.

Was the same story with the Mybitofshite, which spent all its former life on the Isle of Wight,

then in that there London. It was so coked up, that it struggled to do 50. Drank all of its sump

content on the way to here, then behaved in an exemplary manner after the oil was changed

twice in short order.

[twosmoke300]

Naughty dugung , I gave him a litre of oil just in case . Or did it burn that too.

Its 5w40 fully syn pd spec oil if you need it for owt

[Junkman]

5W40 is probably a bit thin when driven at motorway speeds for hours on end, so that would contribute to it being burnt quicker.

The litre of oil is still in the boot. For the next 15 mins, because then I have lunch break and dump it into the engine.

You'll see, everything will be fine after one or two oil changes.

[dugong]

It was full when I left and hadn't used any by the time I got to Gordano services on the M5 and it cooled. I'd have topped it up had it needed it.

 

Perhaps the oil consumption co-incided with the time of the journey it swapped its rigger boots for something lighter?

Was watching the mirror for the oil cloud accelerating - tgere wasn't any. A 65mph 5 hour run would clean anything out....or starve the bearings dry.

 

Phil refused payment for the Royal Purple, BTW.

[lovejoy]

Congratulations Dugong -  should have packed you a supply of oily bacon sarnies too, did you get that

old BL radio I waved in front of you ?  it WON"T fit the Charade  -  too deep,

Hope to meet up with you sometime, Christian, even the Charade keyring has your name on it;

what more could you ask for.....  !

[dollywobbler]

Excellent. That is all.

[Junkman]

Well, it blends in quite nicely at Junkman Towers.

The vast estate makes it look smaller than it really is.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tomorrow, a Vulgalour spec cleanage will commence.

[nigel bickle]

Thats nice.

 

Well done all

[pbottomley]

Sweet story... much car, headmen a number of years ago until the starter died, which would of cost me three times what i paid for the car, i think i drank a pepsi out of it last week?

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

I've only seen it in the dark, but it looked like a lovely little thing to me. I liked Dugong's, so why wouldn't I like one with a loft conversion? 

[wuvvum]

Daihatsu 3-cylinders are GR9.  Happy to sit at a millionty rpm for hours on end.

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

Having spent some time with this today I declare it a splendid little car. The Diamatic transmission is an interesting thing, looking very much like a normal automatic but one which does not actually shift gear for you. 

 

There's some good information in the handbook. Here's how to install a turbo:

 

 

There's a diagram on how to avoid the DVLA giving your Charade a Q-plate:

 

 

And here's a postcard from the world's shittiest seaside resort:

 

 

CONELRAD endorses this advice to keep your car away from fallout. Doing so should minimise the number of dead boodies you encounter. 

 

 

Hello, what's this behind the manual? 

 

 

A 35mm film canister... with something inside? I hope it's undeveloped film!

 

 

 . . . 

 

 

 

No, it's, uh... a rock.

 

Thank you for the rock cylinder, lovejoy.

 

 

[Junkman]

That film canister with the esoteric rock will remain in the car.

Only the Gods know what would happen if I remove it.

[lovejoy]

it's "rock-it" science.... you weren't suppose to open that can of rock till Xmas 

[Junkman]

What monster did I give birth to now?

[lovejoy]

you have pm

[Junkman]

I CAN HAS ANSERT PM.

[nacho man]

Them pictures from the handbook are ace, I used to love a good read of a handbook when I got a new car, probably why I never married J Lo.
