FPB7s French folly

[Inspector Morose]

Home now. My arse thinks somebody's replaced the M6 with a billiard table.

[320touring]

Glad it went well chap!

 

twas a pleasure looking after it until it could go to Brum!

[Inspector Morose]

Yeah, sorry about converting you to the ways of LHM. a big debt of gratitude goes to mr touring for picking it up those weeks ago and keeping it at home, even ferrying it about for me to play with while I was up there! Top chap!

 

Oh and the other scotoshiters aren't too shabby either!

[chaseracer]

Home now.

 

I'm in all day tomorrow.

 

[Inspector Morose]

I've a feeling I won't be for some reason.

You have yet to work out the fact that you're now chief mechanic for mine;)

Does this mean the AS bike BX will be up for sale soon?

[chaseracer]

Do you want it back, Rob? 

[Inspector Morose]

Bit undecided really but I think it'll have to go as soon as the CX is fettled to my satisfaction.

[RobT]

I could be interested as a WBoD, I ran it through one winter and it had a toasty heater IIRC.

[Noel Tidybeard]

must find fpb7 and go and dribble over large french boat car

[Inspector Morose]

The fleet assembles.

did someone mention BX for sale? details, please

[320touring]

Superb fleet pics! why does the CX look more modern than the BX?

[dollywobbler]

Love the 'chalk and cheese' aspect of Auntie Rover and the CX.

[chaseracer]

...Auntie Rover and the CX.

 

Good name for a (probably quite bad) Autoshite band...

[Inspector Morose]

Ten years separate the end of production of one and the start of production of the other.

Probably because it is.

[chaseracer]

I am a step closer to the achievement of all life goals.  I have driven a CX.

 

Thank you, Andrew.

And Rover went from Auntie to this...

 

[fatharris]

I'm jealous. What a line up!

And it's broken. Had the front tyres changed as the inner treads on both fronts were scrubbed down to below minimum (tracking on the list of jobs to do, it's toeing out a fair bit instead of toeing in a little bit). After that, every now and again a loud speed related crack is heard from the passenger side roughly down by the transmission tunnel (if it was one) sounds as though a balance weight was catching but apparently not so further investigation will have to ensue when I finish work in a few weeks. Oh, and it's now decided to run hot for no reason. Hello Citroen ownership!

 

Still love it though. Even if it's on the naughty step.

Well, I've not fixed mine...yet!

[Inspector Morose]

Horrendous noise traced to displaced handbrake cable hitting the driveshaft (don't forget folks - front handbrake on these) makes a hell of a racket! Temporarily fixed in true Autoshite tradition by clicking the handbrake a notch (needs adjusting so plenty of slack). Will be fixed proper like when I finish work.

Still runs a tad warm though so a flush and thermostat will be imminent along with a tracking session and a good checking over not that there's a lot to do as it had a thorough going over by Graeme (j-j of his parish and CX bod extrodinare)
