Air-con regas has made me a very popular husband/dad. Also means the 9000 is now in pole position for all family days out! Has it all leaked out yet? Mine needs doing, I've told myself that once everything else is done, I'll do it. Even if that's at Christmas, I'll get mine done! Was not nice today, there's alot of glass in the estate and the car doesn't lend to having both front windows down. Zx was OK, it would slice on through. Xsara was made blobbier and blows my face off and the car sideways! (at 75) brownnova 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was 23 years ago, so can't see it having survived! I'd be surprised if it survived long after that engine fire tbh. 95 quid Peugeot, HillmanImp, Volksy and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnside Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Sold some of my leftover Cavalier spares today, to the lucky owner of this beauty. Who currently own's four MK3 Cavaliers !

BL Bloke Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I thought one of the street lights had gone on the blink but when I looked outside to see what was flickering it was lightning.

Split_Pin Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I'm in Central Scotland and through the night we had one of the worst thunderstorms I've ever seen. I stayed up to 1am to film a nearby storm travelling north over Fife which is about about 30 miles north east of us . This is a still from quarter to 1 in the morning. I then went to bed and was awoken by constant lightning and thunder right overhead at around 2am. I've never seen that type of storm before, only on You Tube. I love thunderstorms but even this was a little unnerving and my wife was petrified. My son wasn't too bothered. More are forecast for today apparently, it's still really humid and the storms haven't cleared the air at all.

Supernaut Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 It's been absolutely apocalyptic in Aberdeen since about quarter to 7. I mean, more so than it is normally here. Sheets of rain and more thunder and lightning than I've ever seen. Split_Pin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beko1987 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I've had nothong yet. About 7 miles away last night all hell broke loose apparently, I even made a coffee to be outside when it rolled over, nothing. Apparently we're due it later but it's said that for the last few days. Blazing hot here, I've just given the sunflowers 4l each paulplom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spurious Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 We'd a decent dose of rain and thunder last night. Woke up at 7, went down to the kitchen for a drink to spot the gobshite of a neighbor had left the roof down on his Megane cabrio. Whooops. I admire his confidence in early 2000s French electrics. stonedagain, puddlethumper, Burnside and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitsisigma01 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Not a fkin drop of rain in Sussex, 30° at 8 o'clock last night, 25° at midnight, it was supposed to be the peak of a meteor storm last night, even that didn't happen. Back up to 28°, no car work gonna get done today ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuvvum Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 No thunder here yet. It's just very warm and rather muggy. I was woken up at some ungodly hour this morning though by military jets overhead - either on some kind of training mission or dogfighting with some Russkis or something. The racket was unbelievable - the glass in my bedroom window was buzzing. At one point they were so close I could hear the whine of the engines spooling up over the general earth-shattering roar of the exhausts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fumbler Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Our turn down in Sussex will be tonight and tomorrow, the weekend and probably next week @mitsisigma01.

paulplom Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 It was a bit misty here early doors but it's burnt off now. Very, very humid though. Looking over the next two weeks we must miss the storms. Split_Pin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New POD Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 My first day in an office tomorrow since lockdown began. My first day of work since 1st May. My first day of work since having a heart attack in June. New contract. I'm chilling out today. I was thinking of an afternoon on a deck chair in the shade. And then shepherds pie for my tea. paulplom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebus Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 My mate just bought this after we went to view a few. 10k seems like a lot of pennies for a 15 year old people carrier but it's very well specced and tidy. Things like this aren't really on my radar but it was what he wanted/needed now he can only drive autos and sometimes needs to take 6 or 7 people out. Paint is pretty cool having a green/purple flip over black.

N19 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Coming back from work, neighbour asks me 'how many cars do you actually own?' before going on a mini rant about parking. I reassured her that I normally have 2 at the flats, of which 1 is always left on the street so only 1 takes up a space. She seemed to mellow rather after that when she realised I'm generally human and reasonable about things. Phew. BorniteIdentity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cort1977 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Pretty biblical rain in Aberdeen this morning.

I've friends in Banchory and usually either go via the Cairn or the Slug Road - lovely on a springs day but I imagine a pretty remote part of the world in bad weather.

Originally sold by @colc to @NorthernMonkey to @Robson3022 Think it was a 2001 around the £1200 figure. A bit older but a lot cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
