Split_Pin Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Cavalier being collected today. Whilst I'm glad the Cavalier has found a new home, I have suddenly realised that I'm going to be left with a driveway full of moderns which I'm not feeling good about. I plan to address that fully in the new year. To assure* me that in the meantime that I'm being sensible having a fleet of newfangled tosh, the 75 has started making an awful scraping sound when turning left and the Civic now has a hot starting issue. Thanks moderns. Thoderns. Saabnut, grogee, MondeoBlues and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fumbler Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Yay it's back And some spots on the way: Horrid. And I spied a distant Sierra in the carwash next to Chevronics. Very nice- it's on a K plate if the the zoomed in picture doesn't show the details. Dick Longbridge, Shite Ron, RobT and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJK 24 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 iPhone 6s Plus - broken docking port and headphone Jack. Apple say it can’t be fixed and want many hundreds for a modern equivalent. 1hr of my time and a £22 part later…. You can guess the rest. I’m borderline euphoric! adw1977, chodweaver, stripped fred and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Split_Pin Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I've decided the Saab isn't for me. The good news is that there is definitely no over or undercharging issue. It drives great. It's just too modern for me. I feel like everyone else in my estate when I'm driving it around. I'll start a roffle around £7 per ticket after the New Year, to give you all something* to look forward* to. mitsisigma01, stripped fred, gm and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Saab might be what tempts me out of the Fabia run-around. 🤔 Split_Pin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grogee Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Drove to Brizzle in my Brokus, it was fine. But there are a lot of aggressive twods on the motorway. There seems to be a new trend for scary undertaking into Lane 1 to get past a middle lane hogger, then straight out into Lane 3 thereby beating your 'opponent' by one place in the queue.

Shite Ron Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I got the latest Practical Classics yesterday, it has a buyers guide for the Fiat Panda in. Does this mean even our modern car is a classic? It probably just means I am getting old. I need to get rid of the BMW and Mondeo early next year so the Panda will be our newest car.
