Six Cylinders Motoring Notes

Shame you couldn't keep it for long. But hope you enjoyed it none the less, I know I did.

 

Makes me want to drive the AX now. But must resist dragging it over the winter roads....

It's going to a good home where it will be appreciated and looked after and tucked up in bed with a story every night.

I would have liked to keep it longer but I do need to reduce numbers a bit. As you say a real shame as it is exactly the right model as far as I am concerned in the right colour.

 

It has moved around the drive today because I have been out in it, just to check it runs properly you understand!

[Six-cylinder]

Bloody hell Chris, I'm having trouble following the thread as there are so many cars involved! 

 

I'd love to get my hands on both the Stag and that little Citroen's interiors!  I have the time and the tools.

 

There is always car stuff happening here:

 

Today to took my gold CX to storage, collected my Rover 75, called at my local garage to check if they still had a spare ABS unit that they had not working but turns out to be just the wrong one. I took the AX for a drive to the Stag, took the hardtop off the Stag, washed the Stag, drove the AX home. The replacement Spark plug chaser I ordered turned up. I had also been told my BMW 3.0S is outside when I thought it inside, so I had to contact the friend who has it to find out what's happening, hopefully ready for an MOT in a weeks time. I am also helping to organise a car event next year and talked to some people about that.  Oh yes and I do work as well!

 

The plan is to Clean the Stag interior tomorrow, but don't worry I have plenty more dirty car interiors including the Sovereign S1 which has had paintwork and now needs a really good clean.

Just when I think Im up to date with your fleet you casually drop in another car to your commentary!

 

A grand read as always.

I'm not sure if I've told you about when we had an AX Splash and a Volvo: We needed to get both cars from Kent to West Sussex

and started out with me in the Volvo and MrsDS in the Splash. After a few miles I stopped to see what the problem was as she kept getting left behind. "I can't keep up with you" - Ok, so we swapped cars... she still couldn't keep up.

how very dare you mention an CX without moar pictures- you should be ashamed of yourself!

Shock news! I have sold the CX2500 I/E Pallas!

 

Last picture I have 7th October.

 

Its new owner collects it 1st Nov. So now I have to fix my CX2400 I/E Pallas if I want to keep CX motoring.

Cough. Autotest! Cough...

I visited the garage who have my Gamma today and found them working on it!

 

It needs an Exhaust box across the rear of the car.

[Six-cylinder]

Strange sight in my favourite garage, I glanced into my car as I arrived to see a five pound note stapled to the MOT!

 

My 200TE had been there for a bit of welding, service and MOT.

[Six-cylinder]

The escape of the AX!

 you complete and utter barstaad!

[Six-cylinder]

I am doing a collection and am attempting a live update!

 

First leg is to get Mrs6C to take me to the station.

[Six-cylinder]

First fail, tail light failed on Merc and no fuel in Rover. Alfa to the rescue

 

Now I can't add a photo! Third try

[Six-cylinder]

On train now and wish I could work this phone properly!

[Six-cylinder]

Not my train, I arrived 3rd class in a cattle truck!

The next glitch was google maps on my Samsung phone saying walk down this street a bit further and turn left, then it could not find me and when it did it said you have walked a long way past the street you needed!

 

In the end the seller drove out and found me, I then found myself getting into a blacked out van with a man I didn't know in a strange part of London.

[Six-cylinder]

The handover was fine and the other cars in his works parking much more interesting than what I had come for.

[Six-cylinder]

The Fuel was just above red so I stopped for diesel on the embankment and for the restart it turned slowly and soon had a flat battery. I had to push it off the pump.

 

My phone was down to 3% so no more live breakdown posts, with my last volt I called the AA!

 

The AA man put a jump pack on it and it would not start turning rather slowly, easy start and it would still not go, then the long jump leads from the Van and it went. He put his tester on it and said the alternator was giving 14v but the battery was no good.

 

Now the sales pitch, I can replace that for you he said. Me won't that be rather expensive from you, the reply it has a 5 year guarantee and the bit that rubbed me up the wrong way, if you choose to drive it home and need a jump again you won't be covered now the fault had been diagnosed and you have not taken the appropriate action.

[worldofceri]

If it's a diseasel why would you need a jump again once it's running?

[Six-cylinder]

The next problem was I needed the toilet on the A40 I stopped at a BP garage but did not dare turn it off after what the AA man said, so went inside and left the car unlocked running in a parking bay.

[Heidel_Kakao]

Did he give you a quote for a battery? I would love to know just how much they would charge for someone in dire need of more electricity.
