wuvvum Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Jetter Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 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 Posted April 1, 2022 Author Share Posted April 1, 2022 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.

Six-cylinder Posted April 1, 2022 Author Share Posted April 1, 2022 This evenings event with Milton Keynes Classic Car Club was spoiled by rain and being cold. The rain did ease off to enable me to lift my bonnet for the first time (yes I hadn't before I bought it), what a lovely site. It is clean and tidy and looks great. 46 miles completed today including coming home in the wet and dark. Last night I showed a picture of Ami to some rail friends who almost universal disliked it, with one pointing out some cars had a power budge's on the bonnet to emphasize the great engine, my bonnet droops limply over the engine! holbeck, LightBulbFun, catsinthewelder and 5 others 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-cylinder Posted April 7, 2022 Author Share Posted April 7, 2022 Anybody free on Sunday? We have bought a 40 foot container for the FoD which we hope will be delivered Tuesday. The plan is to site it where the yellow Visa body is opposite the new build barn so we have to move it and some other stuff to position the container. Our JCB will be out to do the heavy lifting. We are looking for volunteers to help on Sunday (10th April) And no the BMW did not come with it! LightBulbFun and Crackers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
