Six Cylinders Motoring Notes

[Six-cylinder]

It was time for good bye to another fleet favourite after over 9 years this afternoon.

[Six-cylinder]

Another car gathering tonight, this time with the MK Modern Classics group. A good evening event and although it was only 8 1/2 miles from where I was yesterday a completely different set of cars.

Everyday is a learning day, I have owned W124 Mercedes for over 20 years and until tonight I never knew if you pull out the backrest adjustment knob it height adjusts the headrests instead. Thanks fellow W124 owner.

Lovely run home to finish the evening.

It is in the manual about the headrest adjustments.

No, so complete plums just left an astra  where it was parked tho for a few days.

Small car not small!

Is that pallet in the flowerbed a present for me?

Yes, better than flowers!

[High Jetter]

Oh to have a wife who considers a free pallet a worthwhile gift!

[Dobloseven]

Pallets don't grow on trees, you know! 

[Andyrew]

Scrubbed up, time for some tree shots.

[Six-cylinder]

You have done it again! @Andyrew

[chaseracer]

Drives beautifully, that XM - better than either of mine.

I think you are wrong!

Now there are two!

[Six-cylinder]

Our XM was put to work today.

[hairnet]

Yesterday  we were informed our container had finally been separated from the tree that had spent 20 years growing round its chassis. We went to check it over and our vehicle of choice including some motorway running was our Ami. No not an electric one but the powerful 602cc Twin!

The Ami tried to look tuff in the lorry park and tow the container home, but no progress was made!

Shelves to display our fine china collection!

Blue porcelain? I’ve just been reading John Le carre’s last novel where it plays a role. Not his best but he was on his way out I suppose.

[High Jetter]

Yup, you might need a bigger boat!

[Andyrew]

[catsinthewelder]

Looks like you've brought a section of field to exchange for the shelves.

[Six-cylinder]

Decision Made, Sunshine will be provided! FoD opening 14/15 May.

I have been debating as to weather I should open the FoD for the 14/15 May as well as the 4/5 June and having seen the weather forecast I will open both dates. The proposed patronage seemed to be slit with no obvious all can make it weekend.

As soon as I told Eva that I wanted to get the tent up she asked about sleeping over... I'm not sure though, could do 🤔

@Slowsilver will the grass be cut by then? I could pitch up at the end of the field in the Vauxhall suite

Or granny can have them to sleep over and I can nip out to get some beers and sleep on my own 😂

The tent wants to come out before shitefest anyhow, the last time I saw it was in Devon and that was a while ago now. Canvas gets stored in the house though so I'm not too worried

[EightMegs]

I wonder how feasible it would be for me to go straight from Bournemouth to Buckingham as soon as I get out of the airport.

Ideas from Mrs6C for14 May 2022 FoD opening

• The Bedford CF diesel started and moved under its own power
• Lay some track and run our battery miniature Railway engine for its first outing with us
• Drink tea and chat.

[Six-cylinder]

This weeks car stuff included moving the 2CV and Gamma soon to come out of the shed.

Oh yes this is @Slowsilver Maxi photobombing the foreign cars! Thanks again for helping me move cars around.

[Fumbler]

Ooh- I could make this.
