DVee8 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 At a guess, somewhere near Murrayfield stadium ? There's a few shady backstreet dealers around that area. The trams are great, but at the same time (as I neither live nor work on the route) completely useless. Enjoy yourself in the capital and have a safe flight tomorrow Yep that's were it was.we are in the Premier Inn along the track,opposite a retail park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FakeConcern Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 As the clutch on my C4 VTS is slipping (see Grump thread) I charged the battery from the XM for a couple of hours and despite having sat unused and neglected since the middle of May, it started up first turn of the key! michael1703 and chodweaver 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STUNO Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Cannot find the old black and whites thread so here will do. these are sitting on my desk at the moment. 1943 -- Mother in sideways hat (sooo stylish) and father in uniform leaving for their honeymoon.Car is 1939 Plymouth that belonged to mum's father. Then later a while, Father with his 1961 Zephyr with his production No 2.Car was bought in 1961 and replaced by a Mk3 in 1963 so it's new but a bit used looking. spike60, michael1703, DeeJay and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pillock Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 MEGALOLZ - I think I posted in the Grumpy thread last month the massive ballsup that was my Virgin Media braodband going down for about 10 days.Well they sent me a new hub, and it's been on and off pretty much every day due to "local issues" according to the status checker... but only really for 5-10 minutes per day, nothing too bad. Friday was worse, and then Saturday and Sunday it rebooted over 200 times trying to get a connection. Didn't care, wasn't at home. Today is just back to being mildly annoying with 4 or 5 reboots through te day. Phoned up to log it, as you can't get compensation without telling them there's a fault even though it's a local fault, and the recording on the phone tells you this and basically implies you're better off hanging up and not bothering them. The old dear that I eventually got through to has misread the notes, misunderstood me, and backdated my compensation to the middle of June instead of last Friday so it's come to something like £52 - I was expecting less than a fiver.

Joey spud Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Been clearing out a damp garage of a house we bought recently and this was on the back of the top shelf.A sticker on the lid says 29p.I think it would have been the perfect boot/glovebox accessory for a diehard exhibitor at the recent FOTU.

Spottedlaurel Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Being on my holiday in France and seeing some rather impressive stuff. Not just the domestic makes but unexpected Italian and Japanese finds too. It may be a few weeks before I sort everything out and do a proper update, but for now: I'd seen a couple of these here last year, but their '80s-'90s collection seems to be growing. This year I wandered onto the premises, spoke some rubbish French and the owner let me have a look around. These were in the workshop: Haven't got a clue what the grey thing is. Simca was an early one with round rear lights. He also had a smart little 4CV in the showroom (along with a load of model cars in display cabinets, but no modern cars) and various other stuff out in the yard. Am hoping to do the same with a couple of garage-type places where I'm now staying that, even from the road, I can see have some good things festering away. eddyramrod, Mr Laurence, Lacquer Peel and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I've just been reminded of this video. Retro Rides Gathering in 2009. Next gathering is 20th August at Shelsley Walsh, and the 2CV will be in action once again! After I've taken her to Ireland. Anyone else planning to go? Moan about 'the blue' all you like, but the Gatherings remain a cracking day out. Lacquer Peel, catsinthewelder, gm and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcyonecorporation Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Watanabe is back until further notice. Fuck you all.I have put Watanabe back in stasis. He sorted something out that was vexing me.
