Six Cylinders Motoring Notes

[Ghosty]

Always good to see a T5 alive. I'd never have sold mine if I wasn't so cripplingly broke.

Yesterday was a lovely run out to the “The Flight Deck Café” at Turweston Aerodrome with the BMW Car Club Central Region.

Lack of a running BMW saw me take the Volvo V70 which runs well even if the pesky engine management warning light is back on.

Breakfast with a view. I love the hanging clouds in the Café, turns out they are for acoustic suppression.

Any interest for an Autoshite breakfast meeting at Turweston?

FoD Saturday 28th January Andrew from the TSSC and I are planning to finish putting together the Saab 95 engine ready to refit at a future date. Anybody who wants a trip out Saturday is welcome to join us.

Include me in.  Blingo could do with a run.

No prob, Stevo.

Wow! Did you wave?

Interesting that this one has the full length roof rack attached.

It's a shame I can't make this weekend, but I'm sure there will be another date soon. Look forward to seeing progress!

There is still the fitting the engine and driving it to collect Fish & Chips to look forward to.

A week ago I found two fuel filters at the house I did not recognise, put them back in the box they came out of and thought no more about them. Now your post makes me think maybe these are yours?

There will be a few FoD dates this summer and earlier if I can persuade a group to turn out in the cold to drop the Saab 95 engine back in the car.

A very successful day and the Saab 95 engine is back together including fitting the inlet manifold, carburettor, distributor, fuel pump, alternator, water pump and changing the fuel line from the pump to the carb.

Thanks to Andrew from the TSSC and @chaseracer.

To improve the looks of our yard Andrew added a very smart Dolomite Sprint for the duration of his visit.

The next stage is who wants to help me pop the engine back in the Saab and when?

[wuvvum]

Looking forward to seeing this all back together.  I'll actually be (all going well) passing through FOD country tomorrow on the way home from a collection mission, but it'll be dark by then and everyone will probably have buggered off.

I might be on the road side tomorrow waiting for the AA! 

I am going to a Lancia Gamma meeting tomorrow and Friday I ascertained that it starts, but did not have time for a test drive.

Change of flavour today and I went all Italian.

Lancia Gamma Club Lunch produced 7 Gammas including ours.

[wuvvum]

I'm actually quite surprised yours wasn't the only saloon.

[timolloyd]

What’s the collective noun for a group of Gammas?

[ProgRocker]

I don't think I have ever seen a Gamma in the flesh.
