Cavcraft Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 We need to see pictures of this wooden chalet in the back of a Tigra. One's a badly nailed together cabin, the other is a playhouse. saucedoctor and michael1703 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Saw one of these in Tesco's car park today. Interesting looking thing - I thought it was pedal powered to start with, then saw the number plate on the back. Looked them up after I got home - they cost £19,495, batteries not included. The cheapest battery pack is £6,380, with the super long range option (up to 210 miles if you drive like a nun) coming in at £18,105. That's nearly forty grand in total. For that /\ .

oldcars Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 17-Coffees was just telling me about the SMRC running SsangYong pickups at Knockhill yesterday!It really was class. They are speaking about a race series for 2017 and hoping to host one at knockhill. Will be up for that one, it was on two wheels half the time, great to watch.

Honey Badger Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 What a productive day Fiesta is done, back together and running well (had to explain to the parts guy what a core plug was....). For sale after a good valet Corolla T-Sport service done, hopefully get it in for a test this week Panda engine swap tomorrow or Wednesday! Whats the T-sport like to drive, I've always liked they way they look. I did look at getting a late Celica but the interior was minging, the corolla seems a good compromise, all of the go, none of the interior designed by a blind otter with a crayon.

Kiltox Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I love it because it looks and drives like a Corolla until you rev the bollocks off it. Suspension is a bit soft though if you want to drive it hard - I imagine a coilover kit would improve it a fair bit Honey Badger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

messerschmitt owner Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 useful day today. Knock at the door at 11 and it's the knockers asking if they can take away the remains of the XM - helped them load it into the back of the van, found some more scrap, including a big chunk of cast iron,and said don't worry about the hatch as it's all plastic. They said, nah, we'll get rid of it. Signed the paperwork and off it all went. Felt generous for the sheer hassle free way of getting rid of what would have taken me half a day to cut up and two or three tip trips and gave them the box of XM copper wiring. A result! And wife is happy with tidier front drive again! michael1703, xtriple and Tickman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scaryoldcortina Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 We've been decorating Conor's room this week - mrs and daughter are on holiday in Greece so on thursday we started to empty and strip his bedroom, it's not been done since before he was born and he was getting a bit tired of the baby paper (not to mention all the accumulated rubbish of 20 years). It's a tiny room and he wants to get a HTC Vive (VR thingy) that means you need space to move around and he didn't have that, there was far too much clutter and wasted space. By saturday, all the junk was gone, mostly straight to the tip, and we'd stripped the wallpaper. It looked like this... and I was starting to worry that we were taking too long. Too much to do, they are back thursday lunchtime and the whole house is a bombsite because decorating. Anyway, last few days has been painting, papering, more painting, more papering and some bonus floor laying. Looks like this now, and I'm pretty pleased with it. There is still a full day's work ahead, but the end is in sight. dome, Rusty_Rocket, xtriple and 20 others 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They_all_do_that_sir Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 We have a normal kerb outside our house where the driveway is. Not a dropped kerb so for years I've been meaning to make a wee concrete ramp to assist getting on / off the drive.Imagine how pleased I was to come home today to find the roads people have been round and started doing all the "unofficial" driveways in the street See, if you wait long enough someone will do shit for you Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk Rusty_Rocket, purplebargeken, myglaren and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarvinsMom Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Hornby Dublo?no, hornby D49 "The Cattistock" in BR lined black, with the later crest on the tender. not the most detailed, or 100% accurate for that matter, a model. but its a model that i do like. and its one from the end of production at Margate, and as i have the other BR versions "The Pytchley" and best of all, "Yorkshire" it kinda makes the set! danthecapriman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobblers Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 5 months after buying A BRAND NEW FUCKING CAR the dealer has finally stopped the back suspension knocking like a shithouse door, and put the correct ECU map on so I've now got about 20% more power. I stand by my decision to buy a new car (in 2030, a 19 year old version of me will buy it for about £500 and I've done him a right favour) but I dropped a massive bollock buying it from where I did because they're just completely shit.
