bobdisk Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 My trailer, a Brian James C4 Blue was stolen from our works car park in Sunbury-on-Thames. We saw it being taken on our CCTV at 18:30, Friday 13 (!) November, by a white Ford Transit, with an odd "tray" type roof rack covering the whole roof. I will post a video of the cctv when I get a copy of it. It is this trailer I purchased in February this year; mathewsons.co.uk/auctions/auction-dates/vehicles/13128-new-entry-brian-james-c4-trailer Mrs6C, High Jetter, richardmorris and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't say I'd fancy negotiating FOD Lane in a bloody great artic like that. Especially the junction with the main road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoss Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 My Club Triumph mag arrived today and I was slightly surprised to see this. Each issue has a club history page. They pick a random year, the top of the page is Club events from that year but the little bit at the bottom is general car events. So of all the cars introduced in 1980 they chose to feature this. I'd say that's a fair write up. Talbot Tagora gets a mention too. Mrs6C and Six-cylinder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoss Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Ah well, it's a Triumph magazine after all, you can't expect them to know all the intricacies of fairly obscure (to some people) Lancia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-cylinder Posted November 18, 2020 Author Share Posted November 18, 2020 I have had a busy day shifting cars into some new indoor storage I have on a temporary basis. Today I have driven: CLK Conv Visa Cab E36 323i Somebody else’s classic Range Rover Then my friend needed to store his Fiat van temporally, yes the one @Christine brokered for us on the Forum. The clutch now works great but it is still short of synchromesh on most gears. My friend Derek has just had a new knee and can’t drive a manual so I had the pleasure of driving it 10 miles. I will send a packet of smarties to the person who can guess what is under the blue cover next to the Range Rover?
