Jerzy Woking Posted July 30, 2019 Posted July 30, 2019 Since I put my Saab up for sale, it has developed a couple of minor faults. Driving home from the FotU across country reminded me what a stonking car this really is, both in power delivery and handling. So I'm getting the faults fixed and keeping it. Took it to Abbott Racing yesterday, who were extremely helpful (unlike my local Saab garage) so booked it in for next week for them to properly check it over and fix the bits I know that need doing.

My arms and legs ache but I am very satisfied with my work. The Daewoo now looks really good. Tomorrow I'll turn my attention to the interior then get some pics of my work for the thread on the modernz forum. All thats left after this is another service to flush out the last of the manky old oil, and whatever has been flushed out with the new stuff over the last 2000 miles and then its pretty much as good as it can get. Its very therapeutic. I spent half a day washing,cleaning and hoovering the Subaru prior to its pregleg (mot) last Friday Must have looked like a really well looked after car as the tester drove it into the test area,turned the stereo way up,and had a little dance as he checked the number plates matched.... Nothing else,just the plates... Got my shiny new sticker for 35lev,about £15 to you guys Then went out and celebrated my 50th for the rest of the day Saabnut, chaseracer, busmansholiday and 4 others 7

catsinthewelder Posted July 30, 2019 Posted July 30, 2019 This is Norman He or possibly she is the only survivor of a nest falling off a customers wall in last weeks storms. Hopefully it can fly away in a few weeks with the wild ones. I hope it will take to eating insects as it is mostly eating mince at the moment. Banger Kenny, Fumbler, wuvvum and 24 others 27
Fumbler Posted July 30, 2019 Posted July 30, 2019 Norman looks lovely! Hope he lives to fly in the wild again.
clayts450 Posted July 30, 2019 Posted July 30, 2019 Note to self : when getting thoroughly pissed off with a stripped screw to the extent even an impact driver won't shift it, put spectacles on, look at said screw and then identify it has a hex-shape and can simply be cracked off with a ratchet and appropriate socket.

mat_the_cat Posted July 30, 2019 Posted July 30, 2019 I've just found out that my best mate has got a pair of tickets to see the Pixies (we're both fans) which he'd bought ages ago and forgotten about! It works out really well for timing too, as although he's 200 miles away, it's the day before (and on the way to) another friend's 40th party near Brighton. A road trip, friends, a gig and a party - sounds like a most excellent weekend coming up catsinthewelder, loserone, HillmanImp and 6 others 9
