Thanks again to @Slowsilver and @quicksilver for helping me get 7 Citroens to the Chevrons Rally.

All the guys from the Citroen Club wanted to look at the Trevi, which is under strict supervision after it died with fuel pump failure.

At the Citroen show we in proved the appearance of the Trevi with colour matched tank tape!

[Six-cylinder]

The Gate keepers at this years Citroen show struggled to keep out all the useless, uninteresting non Citroens even after they had asked the Trevi to park in the corner out of the way!

[hairnet]

When you fly structural gaffa tape doesn't last long 

[Six-cylinder]

My current view. 

[Six-cylinder]

Is there a reason why a recovery truck has turned up with 50 Betas gathering.

Which weirdo let that in to the Citroen show? It’s not like you don’t have enough chevrons to go round.

Predatory, waiting to pounce.

[Six-cylinder]

The result of yesterdays 8am start was I was part of 50+ Lancia Betas together for a group photo to celebrate their 50th anniversary.

Yes the Trevi (somewhere at the back) is a Beta, third generation and extended to be a notchback as it was thought that is what the market wanted rather than a sloping back. 

[Six-cylinder]

And in the afternoon there was still time to return to the Chevrons Rally, where I had left 7 cars!

[Six-cylinder]

Thanks to those @chaseracer who helped me get my cars back to storage.

I fully intended doing the same on the Trafic, but the oil is sitting in the Royal Mail office despite me telling them to stick it round the back of the house if I'm out.  They're also refusing to redeliver because reasons.

RM, y u so shit.

It was great fun!  Thanks for letting me play with the DS...

[Six-cylinder]

FoD Extended hours!

I have been asked if arrivals for this weekend’s FoD weekend can start on Friday, the answer is yes you are most welcome. Just let me know when you are arriving so I can arrange entry for you.

 

As Monday 19th Sep is now a bank holiday the opportunity exists to extend the weekend to include Monday. We have one at least one staying Sunday night and anybody else who wishes to stay is most welcome.

[mat_the_cat]

Thanks for your hospitality @Six-cylinder - we plan to stay for Monday night seeing as we can only make it down for the early hours of Sunday morning. Will try not to wake anyone, or maybe you will all be party animals and still awake!

[beko1987]

I've got someone coming round on Saturday at lunchtime (and I want him to come as he's collecting 9 vacuums I've had for him since pre covid and I want the space back!) so we might make a day of it Sunday if that's OK? 

 

[Ghosty]

There's a very real chance I'll be picking up an eBay purchase in London at the weekend, I'll stop off if so. 

[MondeoBlues]

I'll pop down on Saturday for a bit

About time:

FOD ready now. Planning to head down with @davidfowler2000 on Friday.

[richardmorris]

Hope to be there Saturday 

[wuvvum]

Ditto.

[bobdisk]

Possibly ditto!

[Six-cylinder]

Another busy car day with the help of @Slowsilver

I took the exhaust that finally arrived for my Seicento to my favourite garage using the Trevi as daily transport.

Then I took the Mondeo taxi to collect the 308 GT4! Service with new cambelt and the air filter  box recrackle finished.

Next was the BMW E3, the fuel tank was refitted and the car starts with no leaks. I did not have enough fuel to risk a road test so we will do that over the weekend.

The Toledo is now on charge getting ready for a Triumph meeting on Tuesday.
