I’ve been looking at them a lot lately… this won’t help! Not sure why as I think they are quite ugly, but the desire has been there for a number of years. It is now time to say goodbye to my 2CV. brownnova and richardmorris 2
Six-cylinder Posted April 1, 2022 Author Posted April 1, 2022 This evenings event with Milton Keynes Classic Car Club was spoiled by rain and being cold. The rain did ease off to enable me to lift my bonnet for the first time (yes I hadn't before I bought it), what a lovely site. It is clean and tidy and looks great. 46 miles completed today including coming home in the wet and dark. Last night I showed a picture of Ami to some rail friends who almost universal disliked it, with one pointing out some cars had a power budge's on the bonnet to emphasize the great engine, my bonnet droops limply over the engine!

Six-cylinder Posted April 2, 2022 Author Posted April 2, 2022 Today I found a volunteer to collect my Mercedes 320 CLK from MOT and take my BX to the local Citroen show. Saabnut, Dyslexic Viking, richardmorris and 8 others 11
Six-cylinder Posted April 7, 2022 Author Posted April 7, 2022 Anybody free on Sunday? We have bought a 40 foot container for the FoD which we hope will be delivered Tuesday. The plan is to site it where the yellow Visa body is opposite the new build barn so we have to move it and some other stuff to position the container. Our JCB will be out to do the heavy lifting. We are looking for volunteers to help on Sunday (10th April) And no the BMW did not come with it! LightBulbFun and Crackers 2

catsinthewelder Posted April 8, 2022 Posted April 8, 2022 Sorry Chris, 200 miles in the wrong direction visiting the parents. Six-cylinder 1
Six-cylinder Posted April 9, 2022 Author Posted April 9, 2022 Let this be a warning to you. Too much exposure to @dollywobbler makes you go off and buy expensive, unnecessary chrome wipers! Is this the biggest triangle of doom you have ever seen on a small car! Zelandeth, chaseracer, BL Bloke and 8 others 11
Longbridge Apologist Posted April 9, 2022 Posted April 9, 2022 Afraid I'll still be in the aftermath of Aintree after tonight's de-rig.

davidfowler2000 Posted April 10, 2022 Posted April 10, 2022 As mentioned I cannot easter because work. Sads. I only get every 3rd weekend off.
Crackers Posted April 10, 2022 Posted April 10, 2022 Given its a long weekend, I could come for a day if a few people are about. Probably Saturday, or Friday.
catsinthewelder Posted April 10, 2022 Posted April 10, 2022 Saturday works best for me and I'm considering camping if others are. Happy to swap to another weekend if that's better though. Will bring Daisy and the Scooters, must get around to buying tyres this week.
