Extraction complete:

Have you bought it? Always loved the look of the Spit - really cheeky looking thing with the six pot stealthily tucked under the nose. 

[RichardK]

Bought would imply the six-cylinder family would ever part with a six-cylinder!

Fostering.

Looks like a good meeting, I'm officially jealous so I will have to post photos from Goodwood tomorrow while I enjoy my FREE ticket!

Thanks to @Talbot and @Crackers for the efforts to pick up the tyres for @Floatylight, much appreciated. 👍

Good luck with the restoration. Can we have a progress thread please, however slow.

Our Daimler went for a BBQ at a local allotment society last night, but they said it was too old and tough!

It did stand our in the greyness of everyday cars, but only one person remarked on it, blimming vegetable lovers!

[Six-cylinder]

Has anybody got a tyre valve core remover at or coming to FoD?

[Six-cylinder]

Bugger they have cancelled my disc order for the Peugeot 504.

Becko will have to go and lie down in a darkened room after seeing that!

Have you got a can of tyre slime anywhere knocking about?

They have one as part of the kit.

My XF has one with its inflation kit for this reason as well as it has no spare wheel. Worth a check if any of your cars don't have a spare wheel.

I think this is a wheel off a ride-on lawn mower at the FOD.  You can get the valve out with a small pair of pointy nosed electronic tech pliers. That tyre slime is horrible stuff.  you have to clear it all out before repairing a tyre, a messy and difficult job to get it all out.

We're back having spotted loads of BL chod on the way home😎

 

Thanks guys for yet another ace weekend 😊

Did you find one? I can post one to you with a couple of cores.

[N19]

Just back in London now after a flying but fun visit. Was great to meet many of you even though I didn't work out all the usernames and the Capri was a bit too shiny!

[MondeoBlues]

Many thanks for a spectacular first FoD for me.

It was nice to meet you all and finally put some faces to names

Talbot sorted it with pliers 😉

Couple of not especially fancy photos this afternoon (taken to send to a friend who remarked "You're sitting in a field with a load of old cars?!") 

[Zelandeth]

Really wish I could have been there.  Just got back through the door having finished shift crap out of our friend's house.

I'm now utterly, utterly broken but we got there in the end and nobody ended up getting thrown through windows...just.

Hopefully I'll be able to make the next one.

Dadding took priority in the end, when junior_brownnova was really keen to go to a car show together but not to spend 6 hours in a car and risk being late for the footy.

Gutted to miss it, but next time I’ve already agreed with management I’m coming for the weekend and stopping over! Juniors can come with if they so desire!

Thanks, we managed to find and fit a complete valve without having to take the core out in the end.
