Dave - how fucked not broken is the limo

Did the box go in the bin yet

Is there a story why for purchase

Expand  

The limo has done a further 350 odd miles since it left the FOD, and it hasn't FTP'd yet.  I will be binning the box if I can figure out how to make the car work without it.  Reason for purchase - it was cheap and I wanted it.

Helpfully I've agreed to do family stuff the weekend before so easily got the nod to come.

Contemplating putting some speakers in the Dacia so I can listen to something on the 3 hour drive this time though 😂

I'm on the company stand at Goodwood that weekend. 😔 I thought that was a result compared to my stepsons wedding in Ayia Napa,

bonus points if we can get it running/driving

because I have a driving test a couple days after on the 21st and so could really use the extra driving experience round the FoD LOL

(I know last time the Field was open for driving around, it really helped my confidence for the next few lessons :))

heres hoping the grass is cut and the weather allows it!

I went back to the fod today with the kids as I've got the week off work, so we pushed an opel forward and mucked it out!

Wasn't full of as much stuff as the others so emptying it didn't take long, we found a sealed (had to explain this to the kids) cassette tape

And sadly more mouse damage although most of the yuk vacuumed out, and I flushed more out with the wet vac and a handy spray bottle we found which reduced the staining more.

The field rally car then got emptied and we found the floor that remained! One more to go through on the 18/19th and they'll all be ready to restore...

Did you find the Opel Blitz badge on the dash speaker? I think it's off an older Kadette or Ascona.

Have you thought about a sound bar with Bluetooth? Have one in the 2cv since the radio died last year, works with the dab adaptor from Aldi and my iPod.

Another Eastbourne registered car! Doesn't appear to have an S C Woodhams sticker though - I can't make out what that one says.

Opel Blitz is a small truck produced by Opel in several generations between 1930 and 1975 so probably comes from one of them.Opel Blitz 1956 | Historisch Weekend 2019 Den Helder, Nether… | Wouter Bregman | Flickr

Still on the dash, rightly or wrongly referred to as the Opel Blitz badge with the lightning flash.

Then I misunderstood I thought it was a Blitz tag with text. And it looks like a regular Opel logo. Not sure if is called Blitz or not.

That Opel badge on the dash… my red Berlinetta 1.8S I did that on, streetlights used to circle around it as you drove, it was hypnotic.

If that car were more complete I’d have so much envy.

I've been called a scary man in a hat but not a man in a scary hat. By god I look fat. @Talbot told us these photos weren't going online and he was just checking his camera and testing different settings. Lies,lies LIES I tell you.
