Why, what has it done wrong?

[Six-cylinder]

Only one out of these three work!

[richardmorris]

Sounds like Sesame Street. One of these is not like the other ones,

 

 

so thAts the tool boxes, first aid kit, fire extinguisher, soldering iron, crimp set and multimeter I need to bring. As well as the flapjacks and beko’s pink Henry.

[Six-cylinder]

The two red one are guilty of slacking!

I can lob my stove and 5 gas cans in the car. Will bring tea bags and my own mug too

Spacecakes and a hoover, tomorrow is going to be a good day!

Trouble At T'Mill

The Metro has been running very well but pinks quite a lot so yesterday I thought I would retard the ignition a tad, after that it would not start but smelt strongly of petrol so I left it overnight. Today it still would not start so further investigation was required, there is no stark at the plugs but their is a stark from the king lead. The contacts inside the distributor cap were fury so I cleaned them up and the rotor arm, but still no spark from the plugs. I have ordered a new cap and rotor arm.

This is all because I said it would be fine for the Festival of the Unexceptional next weekend!

[beko1987]

Family_beko (sans mum and stepdad) are about to leave, with a quick tenner lobbed in at Whitchurch or somewhere because I'm a bit low

[Six-cylinder]

We have started!

[Six-cylinder]

Now we have stopped!

[Floatylight]

Now we have stopped!

Hope you haven't melted a hole in the top of the table...

Ah, come on let LBF have his moment of victory .  I've never known a chap to want a vehicle so much!

[beko1987]

I've left now, and had to stop to feed the children some chemicals so they stay awake for a bath when we get home

Brilliant day, roll on next Saturday! 

[davidfowler2000]

I'm aiming to be at the Field of Dreams™ late afternoon on Friday and will likely disappear about 5 or 6 pm on Saturday.

[egg]

I should be along Saturday morning if that's ok please? I'm going to meet a man about an engine. 

(whispers) yes an Invacar engine

Ignore me - I mean no harm. Just a grumpy old bastard at odds with the current trend. 

[beko1987]

It is in surprisingly good condition tbh, and Charlie loved it and thinks its a bike...

And its exactly 20 years older than my car! 

[richardmorris]

Nice to put some more faces to names. . I’m back home and quite a pleasant drive back involving getting stuck in a police pursuit!

the invacar was in remarkably good condition. Minor tinkering should get it a1.

jinlongling was started but no drive. I somehow got the job of removing the belt cover to inspect only to find the remains of the belt in many pieces wrapped around itself. That would be why there’s no drive then.

slowsilver and I cut the grass under instructions from his lordship. And quicksilver, Beko and I erected the main tent for next weekend.
