Six Cylinders Motoring Notes - Progress with the Mini Mayfair, if a little slow.

[Six-cylinder]

Let’s talk about Easter

No, not man nailed on a cross, not fluffy bunnies or even chocolate eggs. This is about FoD. It has been mentioned to me that Easter weekend is a stupid time to hold a FoD as everybody will be busy with other things.

I have a free extended weekend and can open up FoD for the long weekend or any days there are takers.

I know @catsinthewelder is planning to come over and therefore I will open those days.

What are other folks thinking?

 

Unfortunately it is still a bit early for any sort of meaningful weather forecast.

I can certainly try and make it there but my Easter weekend will be spent playing with guttering while 30' up on a scaffold.

[chaseracer]

Saturday, possibly...

Thanks very much for volunteering to put up our new guttering!

Sunday is a possibility. Won’t be able to stay/camp (or be useful!).

Not sure if there are any plans for family visiting us or us visiting family.

[davidfowler2000]

Cannot Easter. Working.

I'm in Zummerzet for the Easter weekend - I will be coming back via Milton Keynes on Monday afternoon so could stop off at the FOD for an hour or so but I imagine everyone will have buggered off by then.

[Ghosty]

I have a mandated long weekend at Easter and nothing planned for it yet. 

[catsinthewelder]

I could come a different weekend if you like?  Might need to buy another set of mini Easter eggs for Daisy to hunt though 🤣

[richardmorris]

I could well be ok for Saturday. 

[mat_the_cat]

I'm tempted.

I need to go down to Cornwall to pick up a door for the LT take my wife on a romantic holiday, so if I can make sure the dates don't clash, I'll try and head down.

I could possibly do the Saturday 🤔

[Six-cylinder]

Last night was a new start up of a local evening classic show, 4° C and drizzling was not helpful.  Never the less a nice spread of cars  and I am sure it will grow.

My great white whale was dwarfed by a coupe next to me!

The Football club house had a bar and also served Tea and coffee so altogether a pleasant trip out.

 

[Six-cylinder]

I know, I know I said I am selling cars this year and thinning out the collection.

To hide the new small white car from Mrs6C I ordered a blanket of snow to hide it!

[beko1987]

The portable train shed looks wonderful under the snow... I can't see a whit car at all 😂🌨️

Nice merde

Are the cx and the GS jelus

[Zelandeth]

Another wonderful example from the peak era of Citroen looking at what every other manufacturer was doing and going "No thanks, we'll just do our own thing."

I miss that.

They don't know yet what is on the drive!

[Zelandeth]

Never mind the other Citroens, I am immensely jealous!

You are welcome to inspect and test it when you like.

This Weekend is the Citroen X Rally at Little Horwood, I am planning to use the BX.

That is absolutely fantastic - the tidiest Ami estate I've seen in a long while.  I look forward to drooling over it in the tin at a future FOD weekend...

[High Jetter]

Amazing, always liked the look of them. A French teacher of French at my secondary school had one (but then they weren't so uncommon then). I kid you not, but his name was Roger Poulet. Anyway, a superb addition to your fleet, mon ami.

[Six-cylinder]

Sticking with my pink theme today, there were a number of other mugs available but I picked the pink one!

[Six-cylinder]

The Ami 8 was delivered to me Wednesday, but I have been busy and not able to go and play with it. Today I needed to run a few errands so what better way than in a 47 year old car once the snow was brushed off, you have never driven before.

Perfect, it did everything as asked!

Now there is a small gathering of the Milton Keynes Classic car club tonight, I am feeling it is an excuse to take it out again. @Zelandeth @Slowsilver

This weekend is the Citroen Car Club X rally at Little Horwood near Milton Keynes and I have my BX ready to take but maybe I can find a way to gate crash with the Ami 8 as well.
