I go religiously to Cropredy though, it's like Christmas for me.My grandad (rip) used to live in middleton Cheney and once took me in his allagro fandom plahs (sic) to cropredy for a quiet lunch time drink. The place was "packed with fucking hippies" no seats anywhere. Landlord found someone prepared to sit on the grass outside to let an 85 year old sit down in a proper chair. barefoot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do cut my hair these days though. I love festivals but I do worry about the impact on the locals - at Cropredy I salve my conscience by putting cash into every local charity bucket that comes around, and buying breakfast at the local places rather than the food vans.

You'll be buying a sensible car next...Sensible like another 2CV or I could get a third Saab I suppose... but I do quite fancy a Maestro...

barefoot Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I love festivals but I do worry about the impact on the locals. I live in Castle Donington - the heavy metal capital of the known universe.Download festival causes minimal traffic disruption in the village, if you think ahead & avoid it.The supermarket, campsite, pubs & cafés thrive, there is no trouble and you can barely hear the music.

blackboilersuit Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I can haz new wheels! No collection thread because the totally awesome Davehedgehog31 of this parish delivered it tonight. Not just delivered but he also insisted on giving me a massive discount on the previously agreed sale price because he found a couple of minor issues with it the other day. So the mighty Diesel Astra "Enjoy" will shortly be taking over the duties of being "an car" from the venerable old CRV. The CRV has filled the role of white goods motoring for an incredible 6 years now but a recent change of employer and longer commute means it's eating me out of house and home with its 25mpg frugality*. WBAC will shortly be relieving me of the CRV because it's too shit to offer up here IMHO. (1) If you really wanted a CRV then a nice example that hasn't done 183,000 miles and been used as a van isn't that much money. (2) If you wanted cheap motoring then even if I paid you to take it away you couldn't afford it with 25mpg and £315 road tax. (3) If you can afford £315 road tax and 25mpg there are many, many more interesting cars to try than a clapped out old Honda. Not only a new car but buying if from the pages of Autoshite means that's another little bucket list box ticked Rusty_Rocket, tooSavvy, Split_Pin and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike D Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I bought this old heap off my mate at work the other week to replace the 323 being roffled as an estate is a bit more useful to me for work and general old rammel collecting duties - it's a 2005 Astra 1.8 Club estate It was a bit of a scrapyard save as it had an electrical drain that was sending it flat overnight, which was annoying him, then he happened to check its MOT and found it ran out last November oops! Anyways I had a look at what the scrap man would turn up and collect it for, so it became mine for £141 Did a bit of googling and apparently the radios can go king dick and cause a drain so i got the multimeter out, pulled a few fuses and that seemed to be the case so that is on the floor in the back now A new dropling and the horn fixing and its now tested up Sadly i'm an idiot and can't leave anything alone, so it has a new bonnet to replae the massively dented old one, some astra VXR snowflakes, and matching vxr suspension. Just need a rear spoiler and the xp pack front splitter and that will do for a budget bus.
