Event Portsmouth Midweek Minimeet April 18th. Pics and Videos.

[Vantman]

Drivers seat for scruffy Saab returned and fitted so I shall be there :-D .

[Six-cylinder]

Maybe I should think about a reserve car as no sign of Cadillac. Triumph Vitesse or 156 Sportwagon are ready to go.

"156 Sportwagon"

It's been a while since I've seen one of them .

[mitsisigma01]

Is the Rover cabriolet still in the storage Mr6 ?

156 has air-con and last time I used it it was cold.

 

Add - home forecast is 20ºC and Portsmouth only 17ºC.

[danthecapriman]

Sea breeze I expect! As long as it’s dry I’m happy!

Richard K has it now.

 

Don't worry though I still have convertibles, Vitesse on the road and I will tax my Saab from the 1st of May.

Almost tropical I might get what's left of the roof down on my mk1 mx5

[155V6]

I should be at this.It might only be for an hour or so,as Miss_155 and I both have the day off and the weather looks good so we'll probably call in on our way to somewhere else,

[danthecapriman]

It’s not looking good for me being at this now annoyingly!

 

Somethings come up I don’t think I can get out of without getting in the shit. I’d booked the day off but apparently because it’s toil and we’re short staffed I can’t take that day now!

I don’t think I can do anything about it unfortunately.

That really sucks, sorry dude.

[Bucketeer]

That's a bit rubbish Dan.

If I'm not going to get a photo of an AX next to your landsteamer then I'll have to make do with an artist's impression.

 

[dozeydustman]

If work was anything like today then I'm not going to be able to come along. Normally I'm out the depot by half 12 - 1 o'clock, got back at 3pm today. I'm totally shagged out.

 

I'll be logged into my phone on Wednesday so I can keep you up to speed, was looking forward to my first shite meet.

[Six-cylinder]

I have just been told I am getting the Cadillac back tomorrow, but it will have to go back fro the scratch on the bumper repaired.

[danthecapriman]

Right, crisis over!

 

I’ve managed to shift a few things around and blag a favour so I’m ok to take the day off again! I’ll be significantly more busy at work tomorrow as a result but the important thing is I’m good to go Wednesday.

 

I was well pissed off when they told me this morning!

I’ve cleaned and polished the Mercury in readiness for this. A whole days work.

 

 

Sorry for the scare* chaps! See you all Wednesday!

[Six-cylinder]

Now you are going to show up our under nourished stunted Cadillac!

 

Edit - I have just looked up the Mercury and I read 18 feet 61/2 inches, that is 1 foot 8 inches longer than us!

[chaseracer]

Phew!  I'd already booked my ride in the BRO-HAM...

BRO-HAM

You need a ride in a car with a proper badge!

[danthecapriman]

You need a ride in a car with a proper badge!

That’s a pretty sweet hood ornament. It’d almost be an honour and privilege to be run over and impaled on it!

[Twiggy]

I was looking forward to coming to this, but I was offered a cancellation to have my second new knee - an offer I couldn`t refuse. Three weeks since I had it done and another three weeks to go till I can (hopefully) drive again.  Looking forward to the next one !

Southampton isn't that far away, I'm sure one of us could take a short zip round to pick you up if you did want to come.

[Six-cylinder]

Cadillac is home, but now it won't start.

 

It arrived on a transporter and drove off. I then took it to town no trouble and on to Tesco store, but it did not start first try, then would not restart at the pump.  A chap helped me push it clear of the pumps. The ignition turned on but the starter does did not turn and I tried it a few times and then it restarted. I drove it 3 miles home and now the starter will not turn. I have tried jumping it and recharging it but no different.

[Talbot]

Does the solenoid click/clunk?

I can't hear it.

Thank you, that`s very kind and thoughtful of you, but now I`m committed to grandson looking after duties.

[Bucketeer]

It's just as easy/difficult for me to come down the M3 as the A3 so I could pick you up and return you Twiggy.

[chaseracer]

Does grandson like BIG AMERICAN CARS?

 

[mitsisigma01]

Does he like FTP Cadillacs !

That's not good Mr6 .....

Back to basics ...

Definite good battery ?

When it ran did it run well ?

Has it done tooo many little journeys whilst it was away ?

Did it drive off the truck or just roll ?

Stick it to one and come down topless in a Herald , don't forget the suncream !

Hope to see you on Wednesday still ????

[mitsisigma01]

Why when I try to put a thumbs up emoji do I get 4 question marks ????
