I have never shared this with anyone but one of my strangest car cravings has now come to life again. And it is to own a real Norwegian taxi from the 30s to the 50s. Why I do not know and they are not easy to find as few survived but I really want one. Should I get help?

Half 6 on a bastard Saturday morning, the things we do for chod 

[GMcD]

Chodspeed sir! 

[Split_Pin]

Good luck man, I'm looking forward to seeing how it compares to your old one. Personally I think the driving experience on a petrol auto is the closest you'll get to a Lexus for the money, very quiet.

It's coming to light that we're starting to struggle with the C2 as our only car. We don't need 2 cars but we need something a little more practical in which we can transport 4 adults if we stay as a 1-car household - now my sis-in-law is widowed and has had her license medically revoked, and FIL looking at giving up driving in the next year or so we're gonna need something a bit bigger. Got some time for the moment to look out but if something suitable is up for roffle I'll have a couple of tickets.

I'm in a Saab 

[fatharris]

Doing much better with the COVID now.

MrsH, who caught it a couple of days ago, is still on the downhill slope with it, bless her.

Baby still not here, thankfully.

Don't shake too hard, it has the aux connection but doesn't have the aux option on the system 😂 tech2 needed for me to enable it.

Anyway, it drives really really nice. Delighted with it. 256 miles to go. 

Pez shot

Nice, those look like aero wheels (I learn fast)

[Mally]

Mine looks similar to that.

I have the same tax disc holder.  Mine  holds the screen together.

This new workshop is brilliant. Gone are the days of welding upside down on driveways or patios.
Still getting organised but it’s an amazing working space.

Four post lift is planned in the new year.

I agree, great picture. 

I think an AS calendar is a great idea. @Talbot is there any way that producing say 100 calendars and selling at £10 a pop might finance the hosting costs for a while? 

Could do a vote to decide on calendar pics, best 12 get in. Then close voting in September and get the usual scumbags (online photo print places) to run 100 off. Sell between Sept-Dec then elope to Barbados put the money safe for next year. 

Probably got my figures wrong but you get the idea. Something nice* sells for profit but it goes back into the AS fold to ultimately ensure more crap cars have their lives prolonged. 

Ditto T shirts and car stickers. And mugs.

Been round to missus deceased uncles gaff found some interior seats

2 sets of corsairs seats?

And lada rear seats..

And lada riva wing new.

 

Any idea to value these?

[Jazoli]

Best to list them on ebay and let them find their own value I'd say, the pool of potential buyers will be tiny.
