Event Bulgaria Fest - Task complete

That looks a fine piece of Franco-Romanian chod. Are those reversing/numberplate lights off the Renault 5 as they look familiar?

[They_all_do_that_sir]

Can't wait to watch the video later!!

It got us back to Bucharest

 

Another cracking day out here. Claudiu and has family were lovely and invited us to stay for traditional Romanian food. We have invited them to stay if they ever come to the UK. I drove the Logan back with Ian following in the 1310. Both behaved well, the 1310 is a little too easy to put in reverse while the Logan shows progress of sorts by being a swine to get into reverse if you are in a hurry.

 

Great day

60k Kilo Meeetres, Dash looks a bit ropey around the instrument binnacle, could it be the only one of the three of you who has had a recent haircut ?

 

GLWTJ

Ha! It has had the Speedo bulbs replaced. The binnacle moved when I press the mileage button...

Yes.

Greek reg corsa vxr seen today on the 184 heading to seaham from Newcastle

 

That's some miles

[Louise2cv]

Look at the state of it! Brilliant!

 

I have just made my transylvanian friend aware of this. She is reminiscing, having had one as a family car from 84. She learned to drive in one. She says she can smell it now Also that the ITP isn't impressive.

Then she asked me how you were getting home... I said driving, she said:

 

"Jesus."

 

she says do not go faster than 60mph and watch your temp gauge.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

and if you like skodas, she knows a guy.

 

 

Top work.

 

(and good luck).

[Supernaut]

A 5 speed gearbox, and a tachometer?!

 

Luxury!

 

That looks absolutely cracking Mr Wobbler, well done!

[nigel bickle]

Are you looking to buy another, seeing as 2 of you flew out?

 

Seems an ideal opportunity, and you could take it in turns with the tow rope!

[dollywobbler]

No, one will do. Even on the 130km drive back to Bucharest, I was surprised how bored I got with Rich in another car.

[Felly Magic]

This is going to look well dodgy on the drive back, 2 English hippies in a car on Romanian plates, expect cavity searches LOL

[Louise2cv]

My friend, Bogi, is insisting you include the Curtea de Arges, Transfagarasan road in your return trip.

Her (Romanian) husband says it would not be fair to bet how far the car will get....
 

[dollywobbler]

Sadly, not all that far. It is apparently blocked by snow...

[dollywobbler]

I can only apologise profusely for taking this long to get this image posted. OBLIGATORY.

 

Scary prices.

 

Until you remember that there are many lei to a euro. The fuel gauge only goes up to just over half, but I suspect the sender is iffy.

Waiting for you:

[chodweaver]

Chodspeed you fine gentlemen!

[Isaac Hunt]

Ha! It has had the Speedo bulbs replaced. The binnacle moved when I press the mileage button...

Wasn't that the line ol Quenton Wilsin used.........

 

The trip looks a mega hoot, cap doffed. Bet you even hairnet is Kincross

[skattrd]

Can I suggest when you get new wipers that you also get a gerry can to fill with pez if the fuel gauge is a bit dodgy.

[brandersnatch]

This is splendid. I doff my hat to you both.

 

 

One’s too many, ten’s not enough!

[tul66]

Well done lads & safe trip back. I'd have gone for the Dedra estate a couple of pages back though.

[Inspector Morose]

[nods approvingly]

[beko1987]

So, we'll see you in Scotland!

[eddyramrod]

Excellent work gents!

[dome]

Yep, looking forward to seeing this at shitefest! Top work

Not a bad shout, though I'm loathe to get another can. Have loads of them at home! I trust the gauge at the lower end.

[Skizzer]

Unique* reg must be worth ££££ m8.

 

"AGO SLUG"

[HMC]

Late registration madness- or so it seems- presumably the DVLA will give it an H plate - correct for year of build but nonetheless will look odd to UK market eyes.

Just buy another, I bet you £5 you will use it at least once on the way back

To be fair, H reg is better than those Q Plates put on kit cars...

[dollywobbler]

It's an early 1990, so might be a G.
