The new news 24 thread

[Asimo]

Bored because snotty cold so finished this jigsaw.

 

 

As a reward for my persistance (1000 pieces!) I checked. Of course I did, so would you.

The Volvo's new number plates arrived today. I'm pretty pleased with them:

 

 

All I need to do now is wait from some mildish weather, in order to attach them to the car with sticky pads ^^

Bit slippery out this morning.

 

(Not mine)

[cobblers]

Ouch!

I had the Talbot Express camper slightly sideways on some ice this morning too. That woke me up pretty quickly.

Oops, get some paint on that before it rusts...

[mercrocker]

Ouch....Not a good month for snaking about in a Cobra.  

 

 

This was Winchester earlier this month....

It wont work with that pump That pump is only for carbed engines. You need a low pressure inline injection pump. I use them for oval racing on cars where we retain the injection system. I think i got the last couple from Demon Tweeks

I had a DI-engined Metrocab which used one of those Facet pumps as a lift pump and that worked fine - don't know if common rails are more fussy though.

 

If not, how about one of these?

 

[vulgalour]

Cobra, or Cobra*?

∆∆ It says it's real, but then it would wouldn't it? I don't know if the car parked next to the "Cobra" is a real one either, it looked expensive so I doubt it was being driven anywhere yesterday though.

Another Saturday, another collection mission. At least this one's started at a civilised hour though. And it's a vehicle I actually have a specific use for rather than something bought either on a whim or by accident. So I'm now on a train heading to a place where Junkmen fear to tread.

Chod speed, in the name of shite, and all that

On a folding bike in the pitch dark picking my way down a muddy, icy single track road through the Lincolnshire fens. This better be worth it.

Just spotted in Marlborough. Top marks to the owner for using it in the winter.

Seen a potential purchase on ebay.

What is book price for 57 vectra 1.9 cdti elite estate? 97 k on clock.

[twosmoke300]

In my book ? Sweet fuck all . 97k is just ripe for some big spends

[Bren]

This has had clutch dmf w/ pump and timing belt, alternator, full vx history.

[twosmoke300]

Do you need such a big , potentially wallet raping car ?

[Bren]

Yes - 2 kids and a dog and a lot of crap to go with them.

[twosmoke300]

Ahh ! Sorry I have a customer that goes from one big money pit to another ( Mondeo , vectra, 407) - he does a 10 mile each way commute , no kids no pets etc . Always moaning about running costs but won’t entertain a smaller , simpler petrol car .

[twosmoke300]

Octavia tdi pd ? Ours is a good boring reliable tool

[Bren]

Also me and my wife are not what you would call "dainty"

She used to have a fiesta - when we got in it together we banged shoulders.

 

Plus, it looked like we were vacuum packed in it.

[twosmoke300]

I can see why you want a Vauxhall - being a large chap too they always seemed to suit bigger / taller people. But a 97k 57 plate vectra c is not a good idea imo

We're never going to see him again, are we?

The bike will fold up in a very inappropriate way.
