@beko1987 sold me a coupe of children, they proved to be quite useful!

[Snake Charmer]

I found a mouse nest in the glove box!

You missed the one under the rear folded seat! 

[Snake Charmer]

Did you find the Opel Blitz badge on the dash speaker? I think it's off an older Kadette or Ascona.

Helpfully I've agreed to do family stuff the weekend before so easily got the nod to come.

Contemplating putting some speakers in the Dacia so I can listen to something on the 3 hour drive this time though 😂

Have you thought about a sound bar with Bluetooth? Have one in the 2cv since the radio died last year, works with the dab adaptor from Aldi and my iPod.

Another Eastbourne registered car! Doesn't appear to have an S C Woodhams sticker though - I can't make out what that one says.

Opel Blitz is a small truck produced by Opel in several generations between 1930 and 1975 so probably comes from one of them.

Still on the dash, rightly or wrongly referred to as the Opel Blitz badge with the lightning flash.

Then I misunderstood I thought it was a Blitz tag with text. And it looks like a regular Opel logo. Not sure if is called Blitz or not.

That's terrible - where's the second bucket?

It was there, just the other side of the car.

Oh we'd already filled that with rust and mouse nests!

That Opel badge on the dash… my red Berlinetta 1.8S I did that on, streetlights used to circle around it as you drove, it was hypnotic.

If that car were more complete I’d have so much envy.

I'd forgotten about them. Still trading, as s/h dealers now. Is that Battle Hill on the plate?

How do you know how long our C15 is after I tried to pull the digger with it!

[Six-cylinder]

 I have new discs for my Peugeot 504, at least Autodoc claim they will fit.

I have ordered twice before with different firms and had my money returned as computer said they had stock but non was there.

These came from Germany and there was a problem delivering them because the address on the label was written out of order. Starting with the road name and moving to house name, village, postcode then post town. I guess it would have looked odd to the Germans but this problem was Parcel Force in Milton Keynes couldn't work out the address!

Feeeeeeel the length Imagine the tonnage of apples you could get in there

 

[High Jetter]

You couldn't get that much in cider.

Never mind the quality, feel the width.

Sorry, won’t be able to make the September meeting either. Our new lab. Fume cupboards are due the following Monday, so will be spending the whole weekend clearing out the lab. It’s only taken 8months rather than the usual 4 weeks delivery! £60,000 too!

Incoming - ever wondered what happened to @RobT Renault Clio RN 1.6 Auto!

Yes, Six-cylinder bought all the best cheap cars again. This time Mrs6C said what do you want that for!

It was cheap, I like the shape, I like it is 1.6 Auto, I like the colour, I have bought great cars from the seller before and it might be my run around over the winter.

Being Autoshite when I asked for a volunteer to drive a slightly broken car from south London to Buckingham one stepped forward.

It may have been self preservation so he did not stop on the side of the road but Captainboom fixed the electric supply problem to the fuel pump and exhaust mounting. For that I am most grateful. Yes I bought a slightly broken car and it was delivered to me fixed. So a big THANK YOU to @CaptainBoom for all his help.

I learnt to drive in a Clio that shape!
