catsinthewelder Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Another cracking meet, many thanks to @Six-cylinder and @Mrs6C for letting us all in, even if we hadnt brought interesting tat for the field. I didn't do much tinkering, helped @Slowsilver look at the steering on the new mower. Tightened a nut on @bobdisk's beautiful DAF and tried to find all the bits for the Toledo. Great to see everyone, can't wait to bring the tent to the next one. MondeoBlues, RayMK, Dyslexic Viking and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Another cracking day at the FOD. The Laguna ran faultlessly all the way there and back. This happened on the way back: I'm evidently losing the plot though as I arrived home to find that I'd left the 75's boot wide open all day. My tools were all still there though - one advantage of living in the arse end of Norfolk... Thanks again to the Cylinders for their hospitality.

Six-cylinder Posted March 27, 2022 Author Share Posted March 27, 2022 I have looked out of my office window and it looks inviting for day two of the FoD. I have even remembered to put my clocks forward so I will be there on time about 10am. I will start this mornings service with a Hymn .................

BL Bloke Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Thanks to @Six-cylinderand @Mrs6Cfor another great day at the FoD yesterday. It was good to meet several familiar faces and some first timers. In fact I enjoyed it so much I may be back again today.

Six-cylinder Posted March 27, 2022 Author Share Posted March 27, 2022 Day two of FoD was less well attended, but never the less was useful and enjoyable. @bobdisk managed to clean up the contacts in my BX plip remote so it works again now. We could not get the fusebox to lock into place as we don't seem able to push it in far enough with all those wires. The Jinling worked all weekend without a brake down, or as @Talbot calls it the device that converts petrol into vibration! It gave Bobdisk the chance to try something different with less cylinders than his Daf. Now how would a Saxo look on my drive! Unusual end to a FoD weekend we went for a drive. @BL Blokestayed on for a while so coming from a conurbation where I believe street knockers still awake the factory workers for there 6am start we thought we would show him some countryside. The offer to our guest was any car on the drive for the ride out. Would have you chosen the same? 1990 Mercedes 200TE 2001 Alfa 156 V6 sportswagon 1994 Mercedes E320 Coupe 2016 Range Rover 1997 Citroen XM 1996 Citroen ZX TD Estate 1986 Mercedes 230TE wuvvum, richardmorris, ProgRocker and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobdisk Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Fantastic FoD, Thanks to @Mrs6C and @Six-cylinder. Lovely fish&chips! And thanks to @catsinthewelder for tightening that awkward nut. Good hotel in Wimslow. Met a couple whose son was racing at Silverstone, and had a good chat! @hairnet, that wing had a rotten rear end where mine is bent. Had an estimate of £1000-£1500 to repair the existing front wing, so thats not too bad. Had a go at the Jingling, shakey shakey! @Snake Charmer had offered to be National Rescue if the Daf conked out. It did once on the way there! But it was only the king lead fell off the coil. So services not needed. Got 70mph on the way back😁. Sunny Jim, LightBulbFun, chaseracer and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I arrived at the FoD yesterday around noon just as @Talbotand @bobdiskwere preparing to leave. The Saxo did have a chance to meet Bob's Daf before it went home. A very big thank you to @Six-cylinderfor inviting me back to the house and to @Mrs6Cfor lunch and coffees. The drive around rural Buckinghamshire in a Mercedes was an added bonus that I definitely wasn't expecting. Mrs6C and LightBulbFun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
