Six Cylinders Motoring Notes - FoD Open Weekend 15/16 June


Six-cylinder

Recommended Posts

BBC weather now claiming that Sunday will be the better day. FFS!

 

It has changed several times even during today. 

 

I don't know what to do for the best?

Sunday would work better for me

 

/selfish...

 

It rained on and off on me all the way home so God knows. Gareth said if it's pissing down in the morning we'll do his car another time, but I'm slightly motivated to do mine now...

I can do Sunday as well - as a rule weather forecasts get more accurate the closer there are (my dad is an amateur meteorologist)

 

Ok the forecast looks horrid for tomorrow so I will Postpone Saturday and Make it Sunday instead.

 

This is in spite of having already made my sandwiches for Saturday!

Just as well. Grey and wet here on Saturday morning. Hope Sunday turns out better for you.

Is there a start time tomorrow? Eva says she would like to come too if that's ok? She might change her mind in the morning though...

 

10.30 am and of coarse Eva is welcome.

 

Dogs are welcome as well.

BTW I’ve got a Brucie Bonus for you Sam - found a 2003 Goona brochure in a stack of old mags at home, perfect for any serial Goona botherer like yourself!

 

All else fails Eva can make a collage of ‘Daddy’s car’ out of it!!!

With all the rain, the field itself is quite wet, so for the trek from the yard to the facilities, bring wellies or make sure  your footwear is waterproof... :-)

Another nice visit to the FoD, shame about the sodding wind!

 

I didn't do much practical stuff, was trying to not let Eva fall over in the field, which was at full shitefest 16 wetness!

 

Mrs 6c made a tent for Eva though

I watched slowsilver find somewhere to jack an alfa up, eva sat in the digger

Then we called it quits and went back to Chez six cylinders for tea, biscuits and a chat! Eva played with Mrs 6c somewhere.

 

Now we are home and I'm reading my present from the Autoshite Mobile Library! Thanks Anthony!

A cold wind slowed progress today so we decided to have a move around. The green/white Herald had a locked brake so had to be jacked and turned with a lever so we could get the Alfa out to the front ready to be worked on. Last Autumn we pumped up the tyres on the Alfa and even put a new tyre on it, but today two tyres would not pump up! I have them off the car to sort for next time.

 

We retired back to the house for a warm up and thanks for the help Guys. I promise warmer weather next time!

As we all know you can trust an Autoshiter so when I was offered a good condition fully running Visa I jumped at it and signed on the dotted line, then I went to see what I had bought!

It's not only K series!

 

RobT came to see us and things have not gone well. He left to go home but soon returned complaining of overheating and the AA man has confirmed our thoughts of HGF.

 

We are now waiting for the recovery truck.
