The 6th Emergency Services! 

You should get the Bedford cf restored so he can come scoop you up when you need

[Six-cylinder]

I have collected our Mercedes 200TE from my favourite garage today having had some work done.

Free up, clean and lubricate front wiper mechanism

Fit new rear levelling spheres

Thank you  @Mr Livered after over 9 years we are still running it and no plans to part with it.

Now needs some expert attention from @beko1987 to get the paintwork all nice and shiny again!

There’s careworn, and there’s catching passing limbs in rusty metal.

Guess who came to save me! 

Expand  

i should think so too! isn't it his job to keep them all fueled up for his lordship?!🤣

[Six-cylinder]

It's a collection.

Yes I know I said no more buying but I was encouraged to get this one!

Yes this is going to be a 3 egg journey.

[beko1987]

Are they for the radiator just in case? 

[Twiggy]

Good luck ! I hope it all goes well.

[Six-cylinder]

The journey is long enough to require the mpg of the ZX with tyre pressures checked and windows cleaned.

[juular]

A three pipe problem. This will be fun.

[Six-cylinder]

Just 10 miles to the first jam... 

Not the kind you can eat, either... 

[Six-cylinder]

Now moving but still slowly, stuck behind a lorry...

I can understand the tyre pressures affecting the economy but were the windows really so dirty that the weight of the dirt would have reduced the mpg? ☺️

Ambitious having the roof down with today's weather though!
