You old romantic you. I told my wife the maestro was for her but that didn't go down so well.

[Guest Breadvan72]

Looks like I was wise not to linger long in Accrington.

^ that must be Asda then. I used to work up the road from there and working in Accrington was quite an experience at times.

Just had a look at the 206 CC Forum.  Appears to be World of Fuckheads .  Not going there again.

Hairdressers have computers?

 

I tend now just to use model specific fora for diagnosis and repair techniques, many muppets abound.

 

Hallowed halls such as these provide the joviality.

 

Remember kids, fanbois=fucknuggets

[Guest Breadvan72]

Yay that.

 

The worst single car forum I have seen is the Lotus Excel one.  Makes the hairdressers seem un-bitchy.  Jensen Owners Club is OK ish.    Landy fora are full of loonbagz. 

[skattrd]

Landy fora are full of loonbagz.

yep, my brother can usually be found on landyzone ... nuff said

Update:  car passed its MoT with no issues, but needs a new ignition barrel as return spring broken on the old one.  Wing Wang tyres may be heading for the bin before the car heads for the ditch.

Don't know how some of those tyres are even allowed into the UK let alone onto our cars

I used to be on the 206CC.co.uk forum when I had my 206. They kept telling me to turn the boost up or something. It's better than the corsa-c forum where they all want you to chop springzzzz and facelift trim and other shite.

 

There is some good info in 206cc (or was), may have to dig for it. If you spy W636OAU then Hello from the past!

Never fails to amaze that people will spend out on a car, look after it and such, and still fit the most cheap-ass shitbag tyres imaginable.

[320touring]

Gents, danger of PH bollox starting re tyres.

 

You haz been warned!

 

Anyway breadvan, I thought you were supposed to put old tyres in skips, so 206cc is ftw?

When does the good lady baguette receive her breadskip?

 W636OAU then Hello from the past!

 

I didn't know the OAU combination had been issued on W prefix.  Years ago I had OAU 326W on my excellent mk5 Cortina.

I wonder what W326 OAU is on?

[eddyramrod]

Was it really?  Bet it wasn't Peppermint Green!

[Richard]

[eddyramrod]

Lo and behold, yes it was.  Led a short life apparently!  I wonder what happened to it.  There seems to be an export marker, maybe it went to Cyprus... I've probably parked next to it!

Date of registration is only a month (ok, and 19 years) shy of my Cortina, which was April 16th 1981.
