Six Cylinders Motoring Notes

I know of the Lhm systems but don't know much is regards to the workings and failings.

Pipes rot out I know but are they the silly 3.5mm? Stuff like on the Dyane. Or proper sized pipe?

What's the protocol for pipe repair a section or replace a whole?

It is a special size. Different people have different views if you can join them so when we know what is wrong we can take a view or take some advice.

Last job of the day was to give Sovereign S2 a wash as it is going to Buckingham Railway Centre Pre 1978 Rally tomorrow.

Here's your chance to challenge @Six-cylinder in the race to an MOT'd Giulietta.

Plus if it was a dead heat then you'd win because it's beige.

@Skizzer is a B******d what do we want two for!

Yes, that is why I addressed you in such a manor, what do we need two for!

Mrs6C is away on the boat and does not know so I don't know if I am her hero husband or a looser who spends all our money on junk!

Mrs6C says if @Six-cylinder hasn't bought it, she will be very displeased...

Yes it is bought and I have make contact with the seller, he is in Italy until Tuesday and will contact me then.

28,190 · August 25, 2019

Excellent! I am delighted to have encouraged not only more crusty beige Italian chod into the fold but also further contributed to marital harmony chez Cylinders!

9,244 · August 25, 2019

Huzzah!

You can be Hero Husband, then!

It's always good to come to this thread to feel less silly about your own latest purchase/roffle win?

I'll stick the dates on the calendar to cheer up the kittensinthewelder about the start of term ?

Scuttle rot sounds a tad concerning but from the pics it looks good,

A light polish and some anchor wax on the crusty spots and she's a beauty.

If it’s a complete basket case then at worst it looks like it has a great interior to donate.

It looks like the windscreen surround has holes in it.

@Mrs6C buys a Scruffy Invacar @Six-cylinder buys a Scruffy Alfa

That's unusual.

If I know anything about Alfas it's that they don't Rust , are reliable and bombproof like all Italian cars.

Not like them flimsy old Volvos.

Just thinking out loud!

Sunday 29th September is Milton Keynes BL Autumn day at the museum and what car to take? The two Sovereigns fit the pre 1997 BMC, BL and Rover group restrictions, but I feel I would rather take the VP1500 or Metro. Which one???

This is what I am thinking, take them both. Press-gang an innocent shiter to come to Buckingham leave there car and drive a tidy MG Metro or the scuffest VP 1500 on the road the 11 miles to the event and spend the day bathing in BL beauties.

Any takers?

I should be available for this, museum is only five mins from here...and I sadly lack anything BMC made on my fleet!

There is no such thing as an "innocent" shiter. They are all guilty of "previous".

Lol some of the newer Volvos are not as tough as the older ones. My supervisor at the depot bought a new V60 in 2014 and it was constantly in and out of the garage for warranty work. Nice car when it worked but he got sick of all the problems so got rid and replaced it with an Audi S5, mind you that's been back to the garage about 4 or 5 times since last November trying to trace a rattle.

My mum also managed to make a mess of a Volvo a few years back by using a Sirion as a battering ram when reversing, the Sirion stood up to the impact better than the Volvo did.

This morning doing a head count from an upstairs window I found the MX5 was missing from my signature!

Ok, a very thin excuse to photograph the drive this morning, but I think it looks good.

I can see space for two more, easily.

B- not trying hard enough.
