Six Cylinders Motoring Notes - a Workshop Day Today

[beko1987]

A really long extension from the house across the fields? 

Do the batteries lift out really easily so you can just run them home, and charge them for 4 days to get 33 minutes of run time? 

Or would your jump pack run it? 

Would the olocit or spare visa engine fit? 

[richardmorris]

Ok, being slightly reasonable and full of Friday drink, why???

[Mrs6C]

I have wanted a Cyclops milk float for years! This one came up and well, why not?

Perhaps she'd like my Dennis mower then? It's a heavy old beast tho...

[Mrs6C]

Hugh Dennis isn't my cup of tea, but I do have one of these mowers!

Trouble is I am still loose in society. Without guidance from Mrs6C I would still have my 114 SLi. You know the quiet one with a smooth revving 75 bhp engine and a 5 SPEED GEARBOX!

I’d say the 1.3s that had the MG cam profiles and wider steels was a better stealth hot hatch. They were great little things until the clutches let go.

Following on from my thread "can anybody check out a car in Glasgow", the answer is yes and thanks to @320touring this morning the inspection was carried out and the deal struck with the seller.

That actually looks the business Chris, good work!

[HMC]

Mighty fine automobile. Complete with a US flag on the back in case there was any doubt where it was from!

Funnily enough, earlier today I noticed a milk float and several milk float cabs mouldering up the side of a workshop. Unfortunately the place was closed as I quite fancied getting one of the spare cabs to convert into a home-bar counter.

I'm getting jaguar vibes here, is that correct?

[hairnet]

Those mirrors though...

Mk3 Escort, I believe.

Loving this thread as ever...I’m a few pages behind though.

[SiC]

There are quite a few refurbished milk floats buzzing around Bristol city centre at the moment that are owned by the council. From bin emptying to path pressure washing.

This eco friendly badged one has a big smelly diesel generator in the back...



Speaking of odd ball electric cars, apart from the usual Twizzys, there are these things that are operated by DPD.

The gates were shut so had to shove my phone between the bars, there is ar least one more float in there.

[320touring]

That looks like a cyberman

[richardmorris]

I’d just love the owner to have called the police- ok sir what are you doing?  I’m taking photos of dead milk floats for fans on  a car forum. 

[Six-cylinder]

I hate winter, even lots of our cars have left us, where can they be hiding?

The VP could not run away because the starter is broken.

 

Here they are playing ghosts under sheets!

Small problem I thought I counted 25 cover + the MX5 which was still wet when I took it up there this morning, now at home I can only think of 25 cars in total I remember being up there! Who has slipped in a car into our storage!

[danthecapriman]

I wish I had somewhere like that to store mine! Even my Transit would fit.

It’s probably age.
