First to emerge into the sunlight is the Vauxhall 2300S, seen here with its delinquent slant four second cousin. It fired straight up once the fuel pump had had a chance and is running very sweetly. Just needed a couple of PSI in the tyres, and the wiper blades have mysteriously disintegrated. I’ll give it an oil change soon too, just as a treat, and daily it for a spell. The BMW needs more attention if it’s to get an MOT though. Perhaps surprisingly, not because of rust — details here: That VX is absolutely lovely.

HMC Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Found another pic of the Aston I passed by in a back street. It was maybe Kensington ish as we had paid a visit to the science museum and my car radar was alerted as there are a few dealers tucked away in mews garages around there. It was a db6 auto in a subdued colour, so pretty much what I would choose to have at the ready if I was an occasional visitor to my London address RobT, crad, wuvvum and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reb Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 I've spent the day sitting in the sun drinking beer and reading, all very lovely except now I'm lobster red and rather sore! A friend brought round a set of decent wings for the Fiesta too, hopefully will get them fitted along with the O2 sensor and it'll be ready for an MOT and hopefully it'll be easy enough to sell after that! dome, Burnside and Cord Fourteener 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownnova Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 There’s a weekly car night at a local motorbike repair shop/alcohol free bar/pizzeria/ coffee shop/identify crisis haunt on a Tuesday. Took the magic wagon today as it was the most easily accessible. Look what bloody parked next to us! Can’t get away from Deux Chevauxs! Much quieter than the last time I was here but a few nice things. That Corvette was immaculate! Utterly wonderful thing!

Mrcento Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Came to the conclusion that spaceship Civics were scientifically designed to attract dirt. I don't know what it is about them, whether it's the shape, the angles of the panels or what, but they're a complete magnet for muck, crap and general road dust and dirt. It all just seems to stick. Noticed it's not just mine either, passed 5 or 6 of them today and they were all about as filthy as mine. Cord Fourteener 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holbeck Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Roffle Saab collected. No petrol station shot as @Minimad5 left it with pretty much a full tank of fuel. Thanks what an amazing gesture. 225 miles via mostly A roads so we could have a meet up en route with @83C in Shrewsbury. Not bad at all.

HMC Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 So the w210 disgraced itself by going into limp mode occasionally on the trip to Battersea. Anyway after a bit of a road test back home I could her a whoosh and a loss of boost and after a few things tightened up we have full boost once more. I presume the sudden loss of boost made the ecu panic as at higher speed/ load it would cut the boost entirely and then return to normal if you switched off. It would do it again if you pushed boost up a bit too far. Anyway, normal service resumed, and trip mpg quite good as I tended to feather the throttle a bit rather than just gun it. Lots of construction work around the old power plant as Apple are making it an HQ later this year. Shite Ron, RobT and Jim Bell 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
