richardmorris Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 drive it day tomorrow. I am joining other 2cvs in a Thames riverside trip from Henley to chertsey. if you’ve an old car and want to tag along we’re meeting at toad hall garden centre in Henley from 10 am. wuvvum and Six-cylinder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuvvum Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 I've just put down a deposit on what will be the most expensive car I've ever bought (inflation aside). It's also modern, diesel and slightly broken. WCPGW? Six-cylinder, Stevebrookman, cort16 and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMcD Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Cleaned, rotary polished and waxed the 1100 this afternoon. Didn't go mental with the polish as the paint isn't the best. Pictures flatter, but I think it turned out well. This evening I put £40 of super unleaded into it at 1.67p litre. My brain still can't comprehend that super is 10p less than run of the mill diesel I put in the Navara. artdjones, brownnova, SiC and 30 others 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 2x free Astra G petrol radiators on my scrap pile if anyone wants them, one for post 01 and one for pre 01 models. Brand new, just out the box this morning. Bought in error about 15 years ago, nobody wants them so the scrap man is coming tomorrow afternoon together with a pile of other dross. Bonnybridge, Central Scotland if anyone wants them before then. RichardK and Six-cylinder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cord Fourteener Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Turns out that when your fuel gauge doesn't work you can run out of petrol easier. Fortunately I got my old Volvo home but now it won't start. I did wonder why the mot station put fuel in... but only a tenners. Doesn't go far on a tenners worth apparently.

Split_Pin Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Not so good news: I was kind of expecting this on at least one of the 93 Cabs as they all go there. The red one was slightly crusty on the offside but OK, and spotless on the nearside. The black one was fine on the nearside but it's weakened on the drivers side. On both cars I pulled out lots of caked mud here, clearly a poor design. The rest of the underside looks great though so absolutely worth sorting out.

I know I thought that the first day I brought home, it's just because the wheels have been turned to the straight on position to get it where it sits. Pressure is good.

chaseracer Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Because I couldn't be at Cadwell this weekend, I was determined to give the Dyane a run on Drive-It Day. So earlier, a pleasant couple of hours were spent randomly thrashing around mid-Staffs with the roof off. Saw a TR5, something vintage, some classic motorcycles on a jolly, and a late-60s Dodge Charger. Have since failed to changed the brake pads and fit the new sun blind!

We saw a few nice things en-route. I particularly liked the well worn Austin heavy 10? ( gumdrop) with the “ Arouga”swan necked bulb horn. A few MGs, a silver birch DB5, Capri, some American cars, the roof chopped CX surf thing. Lots of people in normal cars waved too. chaseracer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bren Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Lots of classics on the A548 in north wales - mk 1 essy, capri, cortina - saw an xj6 as well. Felt sorry for the owner of the blue maxi on the hard shoulder of the M56. I felt ashamed at the SD1 languishing in the garage - when I got home I fitted the copper brake pipes I made months ago. dome and chaseracer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoss Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Was watching this Škoda on ebay, just out of curiosity of course. With 42 minutes left it was on about £1800. I went away to do other things, when I came back... The world truly has gone mad. I think I've missed the boat on these now.

Split_Pin Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 That's mad. They are very cool cars but if I was going to wazz 5 large over a retro Iron Curtain car it would be a minty Lada or something. I've seen some crazy prices for FSO Polonez as well although they are at least quite fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Fill it with fuel" The joke from that era no longer applies it seems! Ignoring inflation, a 130 GL would have been about 4 grand ish new I think?
