Six Cylinders Motoring Notes

[Eyersey1234]

So I can now add the stray cat has been fed.

 

Have you taken one of the Jaguars to the petrol station?

[Six-cylinder]

I think the phrase is 'not on the road at present'... as some just don't have MOT and/or tax currently... which is fine...

 

I did not add the ones that I do not expect to need expensive things to get them an MOT.

There'll be a Panther in the collection next.

Funnily enough I would like a Panther Rio, I know, I know an uglier, slower, more expensive Dolomite sprint!

[Tadhg Tiogar]

I might have known.

[Noel Tidybeard]

yes but that list needs added PLAH

You would never run out of cars to fix for sure!

 

Yesterday I found myself drafting a PM to own the Allegro VP and had to have strong words with myself. Mrs6C is not helping by chipping in that she had found a place who will recon the gearbox for £400!

If you do happen to buy it and then later get buyers remorse, I'll happily buy it back off you in a few more months.

 

My intention was to fix it up and then give it to my Father-in-Law as a present (he loves them). However with the 1100 on the drive, there is no way I can buy it as I won't have anywhere to store it. I'm resisting getting additional storage, otherwise I would end up with having far too many cars... Which this thread is a great example of what would happen to me if I had a spare field

 

(I know this post won't be helping those matters either )

[Mrs6C]

^^^ The FoD has always been useful for those moments when something turns up that is worth having but we don't quite know what to do with it yet...

[Six-cylinder]

Tow car broken now, then it needs an MOT so won't be available for weeks.

[worldofceri]

I've just got in from giving my tow car a wash so it's ready to go.

 

Leave the Rangie in the naughty corner and use the money you'll save by not fixing it to pay me to bring the Plah down instead!

[richardmorris]

So how did 2018’s new year resolution to not buy any more cars go?

[Six-cylinder]

Is that all?

[ruffgeezer]

Our Berlingo has gone to live in Wales complete with "AS" sticker.

Hah! Makes all the work worth the effort knowing it is still going.

[Mrs6C]

It is indeed. My Dad drove me to the station in it, this morning!

 

Spotted a C15 from the train, too...

[DSdriver]

Hmm, 6/10, a pass but could try harder

 

Ah, just noticed its 6/16, are you the fat boy that sits at the back of class?

Yes, finding room to park on our 11 car drive can be tricky sometimes!

You should have pulled the emergency cord!

[Six-cylinder]

I am not drunk so how did this happen!

 

 

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

All this

[richardmorris]

MRS6C?

 

Miss, miss, Chris has done something really silly.

[somewhatfoolish]

No pictures of pickernick tables. Disapoint.

[NorfolkNWeigh]

If you stack them, it saves space.

[richardmorris]

I thought the black Range Rover was going up for sale back in the summer?

[Six-cylinder]

No pictures of pickernick tables. Disapoint.

 

Half a table, back doors did not open and there is a bumper across the back seat that discouraged me from photographing there.
