beko1987 Posted January 13 Posted January 13 I remember my friend having me, him and his girlfriend in his smart for2 a few times... His girlfriend was quite small (we were 18/19 then) so she could lay across the shelf bit I'm the back. Many trips to Maidenhead like that, 100% always the back way

Many trips to Maidenhead like that, 100% always the back way A long time ago a friend met me when I was very drunk and insisted he drove me that evening. Later we ended up as a party of 6, he had a Ford Escort Mk1 estate and can't remember why but we used my Triumph Vitesse 2.0 MK1 Saloon. We were young and flexible, 3 in the front and 3 in the back. This is the only picture I have of my first Vitesse (second car), but unfortunately the film in the camera had not wound on correctly. beko1987 1
beko1987 Posted January 13 Posted January 13 Back when the rules were more relaxed I was pally with the lady who was in control of the pool cars, and managed to have use of a 2009 Honda Accord Estate (still want one now) for the weekend. This would have been 2010/11 ish. Ex company cars of people who leave end up as pool cars, which is where this came.from. Was also a broken volvo estate at the same time I ended up with 5 people wanting a lift to high Wycombe so Greg went in the boot. Load cover down, then my front seat passenger found the built in sub the car had and we turned the bass and volume right up, as I slightly spiritedly drove the back roads to Wycombe 😂 When Eva or Charlie tell me they've done the same in several years I'm going to be angry and mortified aren't I 😂 mat_the_cat and LightBulbFun 2
wuvvum Posted January 13 Posted January 13 I'm sure I've told the story before of when a lad I knew when I was at school managed to get 12 people in a Citroën AX. beko1987, chaseracer and Stinkwheel 3

Six-cylinder Posted January 22 Author Posted January 22 Not a great day today! The plan was to get my Gamma ready for Sunday's Gamma meeting. It needed starting since it was September when it was last run and moving in storage to the front. I would have taken it home but with wind and rain forecast for Thursday/Friday I decided I would have it all ready and collect it on my way to lunch. The plan was is check legal and levels including tyre pressures. Trouble is it did not want to start. We flattened the jump pack and had to get a jump from @Slowsilver Mondeo. It started, but run rough misfiring. I got it fully warm but it still mis-fired. It ran so badly I feel unable to take it the the Gamma Lunch Sunday. High Jetter, richardmorris, Wibble and 1 other 4

Six-cylinder Posted January 23 Author Posted January 23 No car stuff today, but I have taken my RC boat to my friend John who fly’s RC aeroplanes for repair as it had stopped working. He found I had forgot my boat has a 3rd set of batteries, one hidden to power the in boat RC controls. The 4x AAs had leaked and ruined the battery holder. John jury rigged some of his batteries in place temporally and my boat works, rudder turns and propeller spins. John had volunteered to fit a spare battery holder he has but it turned out to be the wrong connector. John has kept the boat and is going to get a new connector and fit it for me. John has also invited be to come and fly a RC plane in the spring at his club, which I am now looking forward to. I was concerned about crashing somebody else’s RC plane but it turns out they have learner set ups with dual controllers so the instructor can take over if it all goes horribly wrong!

Zelandeth Posted January 29 Posted January 29 Just thinking about the fun and games I had hunting a persistent misfire on the Trevi. I don't know how similar the systems between the two cars are, but it would be well worth checking to see if you've got the voltage that's expected being delivered to the coil. I eventually traced a large chunk of the running issue there to there being a high resistance connection somewhere which was resulting in a stupidly low voltage at the coil. I'd probably have been chasing that for far longer if I hadn't noticed that the miss got waaaaaay worse if you turned the heater blower on. Seems unlikely that it's the same fault present on both cars but stranger things have happened, and I've learned never to overlook things for reasons like that! LightBulbFun and Mrs6C 2
