mat_the_cat Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 It's a bit late, but here are a few photos from a recent FoD visit. The early morning sunlight catching the dumper in its warm glow... And the Bedford recovery truck: I noticed that the bed seems to be sagging a bit where the side beam has been cut away to slide the ramps in: Mrs6C, privatewire, Vantman and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six-cylinder Posted September 22, 2023 Author Share Posted September 22, 2023 I woke up this morning to find a sunshine colour MG TF on the drive, so yesterday wasn't a dream! Non car stuff this morning so I used the TF to enjoy driving to my errands. This afternoon was more work for @Slowsilver as it was time to put some more cars into strorage. Then time to get the MG Metro out of storage ready for the BL day at Milton Keynes Museum Sunday. Also on Sunday after 4:30pm is a general car gathering at the Barn Beefeater in Milton Keynes, I plan to take the Metro to after the BL show is finished.

Six-cylinder Posted September 23, 2023 Author Share Posted September 23, 2023 The result of all @beko1987efforts were several years of sitting are now cleaned off. The lack of grill is because it is broken so I need a new one. Headlights are the delay to getting it an MOT after all the effort @Talbot put into doing work to get it ready for the MOT. richardmorris, Schaefft, RayMK and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six-cylinder Posted September 23, 2023 Author Share Posted September 23, 2023 The Mercedes 200TE felt a bit 2nd class as it got a bath using the second-hand soap water, still better than not getting a wash!

beko1987 Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 The Merc looked like a different car afterwards! Mitsi needs a good machine polish when it's on the road and on the driveway though, the paint is very chalky. But pretty mint otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-cylinder Posted September 23, 2023 Author Share Posted September 23, 2023 The Metro also got a wash. Its the one that's is going to a show tomorrow so should have had most effort, but got the least. I do like washing small cars!

I think it's there somewhere, the unseasonal warm sunny weather didn't help, most of the products baked on unless I worked in really small areas/switched to my stuff rather than the chalky meguiars. Be a quicker wash job next time though, so all isn't lost richardmorris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad the yellow one got saved and stayed on here. If anything, it makes it closer for others on here to buy it if it ever goes up for sale 😉 Presumably its going to have a quick visit to @Andyrew and his sparkly stick?

Six-cylinder Posted September 23, 2023 Author Share Posted September 23, 2023 @Zelandethrepossessed his Rover 110 today as I had not made my payments! Well not quite like that, he is going to take to Milton Keynes Museum tomorrow and I was already taking the Metro.

Six-cylinder Posted September 25, 2023 Author Share Posted September 25, 2023 The second Milton Keynes show of Sunday had a very different flavour and had a lot of fast Fords and similar. Different but also enjoyable and worth going even in a Metro. Dick Longbridge, Craig the Princess, Crackers and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
