Six-cylinder Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 While hosting Shitefest 2016 I have neglected to update my own thread and have failed to even tell the big stories like I have bought the Ex breadvan Daimler Sovereign S1 after its brake failure. It is currently with the Milton Keynes Jaguar specialist having it brake master cylinder and servo reconditioned.

holbeck Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Wow, just WOW! Silly question, I have a dim childhood memory of being ferried to cubs (circa 1978) in one of these. Did they have a 3 speed manual? or am I an unreliable witness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six-cylinder Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 Wow, just WOW! Silly question, I have a dim childhood memory of being ferried to cubs (circa 1978) in one of these. Did they have a 3 speed manual? or am I an unreliable witness. C matic was 3 speed manual shift, no clutch pedal, but torque converter. Mine started life as 1015cc 4 speed manual and is now fitted with a 1299cc and 5 speed manual, which gives it adequate performance on today's roads. holbeck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-cylinder Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 What a lovely evening drive last night, even driving my Sherpa Coupe! 100 mile round trip for a local MG Car club meet in Pinner, with the sunroof folded back and the sky still light when I returned past 11pm.

Six-cylinder Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 In other news: The ZX has slit its power steering reservoir and is leaking fluid badly, Mrs Cyl got it home and I have ordered a s/h one off ebay. Mrs Cyl needed another car for today and selected the MX5 but I have lost the keys after I moved it out of the way on Monday. Trouble is I have a spare key but not a spare imobilizer tag. Mrs Cyl 2nd selection was the Alfa 156, that had a flat battery so I put it on charge overnight. While I was out last night I remembered the 156 also has a tyre that loses a 1lb a day and it has been parked for 10 days, so at 7am this morning in my dressing gown I pumped the tyre up for her, trouble was my lady next door neighbour caught me while walking her dog! I will be at Earls Barton, Northampton Classic show tonight from 5pm, probably with the GS. RichardK and RobT 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-cylinder Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 Good news, my friend has found the MX5 keys where I left them on the bonnet of the 2CV all night! Oh yes I left the folding sunroof open in the dark on the MGB GT all night as well, after carefully locking the car.

Six-cylinder Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 We have managed a bit more to the GS today: Sills painted black instead of body colour Missing trim fitted to n-s rear door Radio blanking plate fitted Tar removed from new exhaust tailpipe Tyres dressed This is the photo that made me black the sills, put the missing trim on and clean the tail pipe instead of working today! richardmorris, Conrad D.

Six-cylinder Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 New flavour for today, Visas I have put my E reg 17RD away and I have got out my Special Twin. Yes that is a downgrade from 60 bhp to 30 bhp! The plan is to take it to the Citroen National rally near Peterborough on Saturday to meet up with 2 other Visa Twins. Conrad D.
