@LightBulbFunyou need to sort out your DVLA!

2 Vehicle tax reminder in 2 separate envelopes for the same car in one day!

This is not Photoshop!

Are both reference numbers the same? Also how do you tax online when it’s £0?

Yes both the same ref number.

Tax your car on line, enter ref number, agree it is the car you want to tax, agree with the statement it is MOT free, you have tax and they don't ask for money.

I have just taxed the Sovereign S1, Sovereign S2 and Saab 95 all for free🙂

Colin is coming to see me Monday early evening to do the final fit of the scuttle panel, right hand wing and lights on Error 404 so I can drive it to Shitefest next weekend.

Excellent news!

The only thing that I know is not working is the wipers so Wales is out!

My parents ( and everyone else in Wrexham ) have just had some of the heaviest rain they can remember in 80 years. Water inches deep on their drive ( they’re on top of a hill), parts of rhosddu under two feet of water with sewage floating.  Welcome to wales in summer!

Mrs6C has an E46 330Ci which she doesn't want me pushing around Wales.

I have the E3 3.0S which sort of runs but is not fit to take any distance.

I sold last year the other 4 BMWs E30 325i, E36 328i Coupe, E36 M3 evo convertible and E32 735i SE.

You don't need to tell her! 😉

 

Oh, wait...

This afternoon @Andyrewcame over in his Allegro to fix his black Astra. He soon had the Astra completed and asked the fatel question is there anything I can do to help you! Well I am still trying to get the Error 404 ready for the road so he ground down some rust bubbles down and applied rust cure. The drivers window does not close fully or work smoothly so Andy took the door trim off. We think it is missing some of the furflex guide and the winding quarent teeth are very worn.

Just found this in the shed, £15 posted if you want them
they’re both in good condition no cracks

When did you last see a Lancia Trevi, when did you last see a Cadillac Eldorado Touring Coupe, Have you ever seen a Trevi and Eldorado Touring Coupe together!

Time to set FoD dates for the rest of the summer. I am thinking two more would be good, but would be happy to open up all three dates I am free.

One featured event is to gather all our running cars in the FoD and photograph them.

I would like to get our Saab 95 engine running before the weather shuts us down.

2 Sep is Radwood UK 13 miles away and I would be happy to open up for camping before and/or after for shiters.  We can have Saturday night around the campfire. Sunday in the FoD.  

To give me some idea which would be the best weekend/weekends to open the FoD please add your name to the list for the weekend you would most like to attend. If you would attend more than one add your name to both dates. If you will only attend once but could do alternative dates add your name to you first choice of date and your name with the word “alternative” after it to the second/third.

Hmm not sure that’s worked very well on the phone. 

[chaseracer]

I can do the first of the August dates and September.  Bit busy keeping a 2CV going round a Norfolk airfield for 24 hours over the bank holiday!

[catsinthewelder]

I can probably do Radwood weekend.  Not bought a ticket to it yet.  Will ponder that this weekend.

[Six-cylinder]

Pick some dates for next FoD?

This evening I have had my DS checked over and its pecking order established.
