Six-cylinder Posted June 27, 2022 Author Share Posted June 27, 2022 I have not been brave enough to take the Toledo 4 door out for a drive yet after all the initial problems of it cutting out and not restarting without a short rest. Now each time I go to the FoD I start it and run it round the the field with no problem. I am hoping we can improve the Toledo 4 door in a few different ways so I can start using it. Check legals and levels Test drive it with shadow car and tow rope Refit front interior door panels Temp gauge does not work and fuel gauge sometimes stops working and then returns Paint bonnet Damson Floatylight, AnthonyG and LightBulbFun 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six-cylinder Posted June 27, 2022 Author Share Posted June 27, 2022 Wanted timber for shelves I am erecting some shelving in our new container for the storage of car parts and we have bought used heavy duty metal uprights and cross bars. The shelves are 900mm deep and 1500mm wide. I have looked into buying proper shelves and plywood sheets and they are prohibitively expensive in the quantity we need. The shelves need to be strong and I am thinking at least 18mm thick. I don’t think chip board or composite material will work well in an unheated environment with a 900mm span. I am planning to use reclaimed timber from pallets. The pallet timber are only 75mm wide on average so I will need lots of them. Does anybody have any timber they want gone out of the way?

I believe they are exempt from pretty much everything everywhere, and because they accelerate quite well for their size, they seem to do surprisingly well in cities as long as you have a steersman who's well and truly on the ball. A decent road engine will do 12-15mph in high gear flat out and the average speed of London traffic isn't much more than that, so you can do stuff like this: Definitely something I'd love to have a go at. No need to worry about traffic, keep going and people will soon move out of the way, either that or they get pushed/squashed Crackers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT when you have to queueing on a dark, wet, winters Friday night on the M25 there is no better car to do it in. Also it is the only one that can pull a 2 ton boat out of the water up a steep slippery ramp with ease and control! It is a thought though, in summer maybe it should live in the storage shed and a Sovereign could live on the drive instead. chaseracer and richardmorris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crackers Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Will probably come up for some of this weekend but I'm utterly knackered for no particular reason so it depends whether I end up staying in bed for a year on Saturday.

You'd save a fortune by only taxing it for 6 months but I'd imagine if it gets the shit with being stored it'll light its dash up like a Christmas tree in a tantrum 😂🎄 Six-cylinder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six-cylinder Posted June 29, 2022 Author Share Posted June 29, 2022 There is a plan to cut some metal shelving uprights down from 9ft to 7 ft to fit in the container.

Six-cylinder Posted June 29, 2022 Author Share Posted June 29, 2022 I went topless this evening! Don't worry I mean the car. First time out for my 306 Convertible since I was put away for the winter. It drives better than I remember and was a pleasure to enjoy the evening sunshine going to a small car gathering in Milton Keynes. catsinthewelder, LightBulbFun and Crackers 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
