I've mentioned this before, but my grandad had UK market 306 Sedan for many years, when he died in 2017, my uncle took it back to France and registered it on French plates.  Amazingly I was scrolling through my Instagram feed, and it had been spotted by 'cornishcarspotter' (this is completely at random, I don't follow the account) while on a trip over here.  Small world!

I took no2 son to get his provisional driving license photo this morning. We had a look in the local bomb site dealer, on the way passed.

What a load of shite, flat tyres that have been down for weeks judging by the moss, cobwebs covering door handles and wipers.

Oh this is going to be fun. 

Have you still got the first Fiat 500 ?

100%, yes. I have three vehicles, all vans and two of them are 4x4 VWs. And I see another 4x4 vw one and my brain says "yes, buying this one would make you happier"

there's a chap a couple streets over from me, there are usually 3-4 T25 syncros outside his place. Two is normal.

Will an £40 upside down Mk3 Fiesta 1.8D radiator fit the Toledo?

Just about. Whether it will cool it remains to be seen. 

(Yes, that's my knee pillow 🤣)

It's been trouble free completely, fixed radio reception with a new aerial base and that's all its needed. Good seller would recommend 10/10

Good job on the Toledo but that knee pillow is indeed spectacular.  11/10 .

Married. Not Norfolk, Surreyish I think. Martin works for Mole Valley Valves. They are currently repeating it on BBC 4 but for some reason Mole Valley Valves has always stuck in my head filling up space that could be used for useful stuff like where have I put those Favorit steering column bushes. They were on the kitchen table for about two weeks and I decided to put them somewhere else before Mrs Yoss started complaining.

You can also still see the original Linwood Plant offices still in use today as the St James business centre. It's about 1/4 mile along the road frkm the bridge, towards the motorway. Stuff Robert The Bruce, Linwood has all of the heritage.

And just to prove this, look what I just found outside:

 

Very polite young lad who’s had it just three months and using it as a daily. Even ventured down to the festival of the unexceptional!

I've seen that at a Retroshite meet a few months ago. It was for sale quite cheap with a suspension issue. Good on him for fixing it and using it.
