Six Cylinders Motoring Notes

[hairnet]

I R sadi didn't go to this but in other news I penetrated clare

 

I've also had broken issues

Another fun day of tinkering.

More achieved than anticipated despite numb fingers and hailstones.

Nice to meet Andyrew, who did sterling work on the Alfa with the aid of several large hammers.

Sorry to see he had trouble getting home.

I have also contributed another pair of wheel ramps to Six-cylinder's proposed borrow/loan/adopt/rehome scheme which are now languishing in the field with some new friends.

If anyone needs a pair, he is now your man.

Looking forward to the next one, which will hopefully be a tad warmer.

Here’s a South American import in Ireland for £7750.

Looks like a dealer trying is luck asking twice what the car is likely to fetch.

Why would you want to buy a fully operational vehicle?

 

That's just spoiling the fun!

Ta-plah!

 

Vanden Plas under own power...

 

Vanden Plas home again...

"Ta-Plah!" Oh my, thats almost as bad* as a cavcraft joke 

 

awesome to see the picnic tables moving under their own squashed dinosaur, and home safely

Brilliant! I hope the cosmetics can be left as is, interesting and very 1986!

[SiC]

Yay! You actually got a project finished! ( )

 

Glad this one went into the right hands. Hopefully many years of enjoyment out of this.

This year it will certainly be run as it is.

 

And that includes the replacement door!

[HMC]

Do the festival of the un exceptional frown on “patina”? Great candidate IMO.

 

Also haven’t you had cars borrowed by film companies? What with the different coloured door and general patina etc it would be perfect for something set in the 1980s

[BeEP]

I like the way you've colour coded the arch to match the door

Funny you should say that...

Today's Drive shot, I am feeling pretty pleased as everything you see is legal and works.

 

After a long and torturous time with the Cadillac not working because of a worn gear cable selector bush and then a MOT fail it is now all sorted with a fresh MOT.

 

The Allegro ground to a halt on the drive and would not restart, turns out to have run out of petrol showing 1/4 tank.

Adding fuel will increase the overall value surly?

The old ones are the best!

Finger looking better six days later. Perhaps I won’t need compensation.

[ianbmw]

Lucky I didn't chop it off with something from the Mercedes tool kit!

Yea, thanks Ian, you were a great help. I don’t like blood! All the rest of the family are biologists- I went into chemistry.

[richardmorris]

Even better an hour later. Repairing faster than the Alfa anyway

That sort of thing does concern me with print technology.

Turweston Airfield car show today and after the failure to proceed to Mike's burger bar last year its first outing just 16 miles.

 

I have still got to get home!

[hairnet]

?

I say again ROFLCOPTER

[Six-cylinder]

A clue for an upcoming car job?

 

Strange thing it was significantly cheaper to buy it in Holland including shipped than buying it in the UK. Even the time to get it too me was very reasonable, I ordered it Wednesday evening and it is with me Monday morning.

 

Thanks to richardmorris for steering me to the correct one for my car.

That's not a handbag

[shedenvy]

2cv / dyane roof?

[Bfg]

^ you cheated ..you read the bright orange packaging tape as being from 'Burton 2cv parts'
