Mrs6C Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 The JCB needs a bit of a clean, but also, if I haven't lent out the scratter and press, I have about a tonne of cider apples to mill and press... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen here with my BX while we were putting a phone line to the house nearly 15 years ago now! Are you doing it again now with some fibre optic?

No plans to, as fibre optic is still a few miles away - we only laid the cable to the nearest road around 400m from the house. So until fibre gets there, there's nothing to be gained. And TBH, we now get significantly faster connection over 4G than the 3-4 MBps over broadband. If only we'd known... Longbridge Apologist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About the same as my model collection, There is nearly a model for each car we own, have owned or I have had as a company cars. (Not just the ones I have driven) There are a couple of white metal kits that need building in my cupboard, Reliant Scimitar 5a, and MGZS.

Six-cylinder Posted November 26, 2021 Author Share Posted November 26, 2021 My CLK has had a very badly blowing exhaust for a while now and I have not been using it for fear it might fall off or cause damage. I finally took it in to be fixed this week terrified how much an exhaust might cost for a Mercedes V6. Turns out it was just a broken clamp allowing the exhaust to separate. This means after 2 years of ownership of the @HMC CLK320 it is firmly on the good car list and back in use!

Six-cylinder Posted November 26, 2021 Author Share Posted November 26, 2021 Sunday 28th Nov if anybody is free we hope to pop up to the FoD to move a couple of cars and then a cupper at the house. 11.30 am meet at the house. PM me if you are planning to come over so I know how best to contact you to let you know if we are at the house or FoD.

richardmorris Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I’ll have a think Chris. Probably no, but see how the weather looks in the morning - just getting over a cold and a day in freezing temp does not sound too appealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxWomble Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 We’ve got a friend round this weekend and sadly I’m on roast dinner duty - after numerous free weekends, I was dying to come to my first FoD, never mind! We’re down off J5 of the M40 now, so not far to come up even at short notice or if you need an extra pair of hands for anything. Thanks all the same and sorry can’t make it!

Zelandeth Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Sadly I'm tied up tomorrow. Got a load of things I need to get done prepping for a bunch of jobs including getting new fences installed, especially as it's the only day I have a helper on hand for a while - and need to give the Jag a pre-MOT inspection. Plus sort the windscreen washers, the dodgy fog light and get the nearside headlight to point vaguely in the right direction again. If vehicles are being moved and it's not a huge pain (which given the recent weather it may well be deemed to be - if so please don't bother) and the Cavalier could be got to somewhere on a hard surface that would be brilliant. Jag hopefully should be moving on in the next week or two and once that's done can look to arrange collection. Though conditions for getting vehicles out of the field are only getting worse as the winter progresses. I'd kinda hoped to have it sorted by now, but it's taken way longer to sort things to make the hole for it than I'd hoped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
