Six Cylinders Motoring Notes

[richardmorris]

When Steve sold the Giulietta to Mrs6C he also gave her a original sales poster that hangs in our living room.

I like Italian sales posters. The full stop is a definite style decision.

 

I have one too.

 

Freeing the brakes on the axel was a pain and we could see those! Perhaps a set of axel ramps would be a good idea? Can the car be jacked ( are the sills ok?)?

[hairnet]

 

Can't do Sundays as I'm always with the horse

 

 

I'd actually like to have a perve over your CX one day.

 

 

You could bring the horse... the Field of Dreams has 10 acres of pasture and there is a nice bridlepath opposite our gate!

do dis - itll have more power than the crocks in the field

[richardmorris]

Oh and thinking ahead, some carpet offcut for the poor sod to work on underneath rather than the hardcore.

Is that the people or the cars

I am sure there is one pair of ramps at the field, I think there is a second pair as well and I think I have a third pair but they might be in the garage.

depends who shows up

[dozeydustman]

There will be other play days at the Field of Dreams.

 

I'll get me diary.

 

20th of one month to around 4/5th of the next are good weekends.

 

Was it you that had trouble with an XW7 engine in a Visa? A local scrappy to me has taken in an E reg 205. Want me to take a look see if it's a suitcase or a TU?

[Six-cylinder]

Sort of a car day, much tea drunk with visiting XM and Maxi!

 

Maxi has an original nodding dog and Mrs6C got a nodding cat for Valentines so today we introduced them!

[Bfg]

.

Oh do be careful., when a nodding cat and a nodding dog get together you'll find yourself with a wobbly cog 

[Six-cylinder]

Progress with the nodding cats home, new engine and gearbox are fitted if not yet running.

[AnthonyG]

Might be around for this, more likely to be about for an April/May FoD event though.
