Offside tail - fixing tomorrow

[richardmorris]

I guessed the others as it was daylight! Oh and you're supposed to hit the nail with the hammer, not your thumb

[Asimo]

Saw a strange 3 wheeled thing on a roundabout in Hereford.

Imagine a morph of Bond Bug and Sinclair C5 with a single rectangular headlight.

Due to camera fail - battery - no picture. Any ideas?

What's putting me off was that the last time I spent real money on paint ( on my cx Pallas ) it was written off two months later.

 

 

Last time I had the 2CV restored, it was smacked up the arse quite fiercely just nine months later. It's one reason I don't want it immaculate for a second time.

I caught it in the SEC door. Not even slamming it. Glad the soft close is offline!

Definitely three wheels? A Carver?

Sitting outside my favourite chippy in a van with P. NIS Extensions on the sides listening to The Smiths and the airbag light came on. Because Vauxhall.

How much is he after for it?

[For Fiats Sake]

The Italians don't want to sell their knackered old chod to johnny englishman so I won't be going to Italy to collect a load of PandaVan parts next week.

Part relief as costs would mount up and the 4x4 has a big bill in the making with the engine upgrade, still disappointed as road trip to Italy is more fun than anything else I can think of.  I shall probably take the caravan up to northumberland for a couple of days with the dog for a change of scene, also on offer is putting the donor panda on its side and stripping off some good parts.  No doubt the neighbours will rejoice at me dismantling on the drive...

round 1k hes leaving uk..

Google-imaged Carver: no, not one of those. Definately had a roof, square-ish sort of "styling", really a bit naff.

[Bear]

It's ringing a bell, but I can't remember where from. '80s though?

[Eddie Honda]

Replicar Cursor for the moped kids?

 

Scrub that too many headlights.

 

Danish Mini EL thing?

[Ghosty]

Indespension Jiffy? 

 

[xtriple]

Had to e-mail Specialist cars today as an acquaintance was convinced he had seen my Bentley being driven 'at some pace' (his words) through a local village. I honestly didn't believe Paul or anyone else there would use the car (why would they - they have loads of MUCH faster tat to play with?) but he was insistent, I had to ask.

 

I like Paul (having initially disliked him!) and of course, he hadn't and my car was in bits in the workshop on Monday so it would have bee a 'feat' I felt guilty asking, but when someone is sooooooo insistent.....

 

Anyway, good news and bad: the car will be home tomorrow after 8 and a bit weeks. Starting properly so far but still a no go on the brakes skim - Ferrari can't do it either. I have no idea on the bill as yet, I am seriously gonna have a sleepless night tonight worrying about it.

[hairnet]

Diddy little pickup/utility vehicle - a trailer company in Bolton made them, fibreglass body, leaf spung rear - uses front subframe and A series from a Mini.

 

Most, if not all of them are Q platers.

[brownnova]

Check out my hot holiday hire car action!!!

 

 

 

The Nissan sadly...

 

Definitely a future autoshite mobile. Cheapest car on sake in the us in 'base' trim according to a quick google!

[Ghosty]

And to think, cheapest thing here is a Dacia or something.

[purplebargeken]

Wouldn't say no to one though. Would have to be white though.

...... Not a bad car... BUT, one can helm more 'interesting' fossils

Just a taster for a thread to come. Myself , Jon, Philibusmo and Petrolize shared an experience today involving lots of this.

 

A part of the hubcap supply. Need a replacement cap for your Goliath, I know they have one .

 

It's a business that has been in the spares business for a long time.

 

 

The rest will probably be loaded into Jon's spotted thread within the next day or so, added to by we three non-photographers. There is also a collection mission which has been underway now for about 13 hours now and all going well has several more to go, powered by Philibusmo and Petrolize who may have done something silly , or not !

 

 

[Lankytim]

KROOZA failed it's NOT, but not too badly...

 

Garage project progressing nicely.. but FFS, concrete is hard work!

[trigger]

I just had to laugh, the aircon has dried up on the Fiesta (i don't think mum ever used it) so I'm googling about the cheapest way to renew the gases, there's a Groupon deal for a garage around the corner which is charging £22.50 for the regas so i done some googling on the place and found loads of piss poor reviews on them, it's aways a good sign when the owners wife has to pretend to be a customer to give them a good review!.

Not the brightest bulbs in the light fitting then lol.

One of these? 

 

 

It's an Ellert. Danish thing built in the late 'Eighties. Yellow car on the far right is a Kewett El-Jet.
