I'm not sure my car would be popular in a place like that, it doesn't strike me as the sort of gaff where fans of noisy Japanese coupes would live.

Keeping your A60? 

Yes, one car I'm very reluctant to part with. Had a hankering for something older for a while now and heard about this through word of mouth after the owner passed away in January. Not a perfect example but a straight, honest old thing and a good introduction to 1950's motoring.

Bought my oldest car to date- a 1958 Austin A55 Cambridge. ?  Has been standing for about a year but is now running and driving and will hopefully be back on the road shortly.

Autoshite is accessible in Shanghai. Hoorah! My flight leaves in nine hours and I'm stuck at the airport. Too knackered to explore.

We’re not deemed a threat as our version of the capitalist dream is a bit shonky...

That Cambridge is seriously charming. Tweed Grey with Cherry Red interior is a lovely combination, it has its original seats and radio as well. Also, correct gear change!

i would have done far better buying something like this than the rotten wreck I bought and subsequently spent thousands and many hours of labour on. It’s buried in the back of my parents garage at the moment - really must get the Royale finished so I can plough on with it.

Hooray. Anywhere to have a sleep? Is that where the Maglev runs from....I'd be tempted by a quick return journey on that.

Just watched the 'vets' in Yorks. Some one claimed to have silly numbers of Invacars! Glad they're not bothering us on here! {Hides}

 

 

wasn't a bloke called Simon Mckeown was it?

he is the guy that "runs" the ICR and as such has the ICRs collection of about 20 Invalid vehicles of some kind or another!

and he is Yorkshire IIRC!

(I say runs, he puts on art exhibits with them but sadly does not do much for the vehicles themselves...)

i know what’s for dinner tonight...

Delish! So far this year I've had Pestle Puffball, wax caps, Shaggy ink caps and I know where there are usually some agaricus, or field mushrooms, similar to the horse mushroom... Yum!

The 406 decided to flirt with me this morning by displaying ANTI POLLUTION FAULT and throwing an EML driving to work this morning. From googling it could be any generic fault, despite me immediately thinking emissions. Way to go Frenchies. Looking forward to digging out my finest* Chinese 15 quid from Amazon obd diagnostic equipment later, it's been a while ?
