beko1987 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I'm off to bed as I'm collection_wingman tomorrow so need to be up before midday.What do you need to cockblock on a collection? Or is it to save needing a shitty stick to beat the klunge away as collection occurs? Eddie Honda, louiepj and Cavcraft 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spottedlaurel Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 1) Finding out that the Bluebird pictured in an old copy of Buying Cars magazine is still on the road: 1988 Nissan Bluebird (still on road) and others, Buying Cars 10/91 by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr Appears to be in good hands, I found a recent photo of it at a car show down in Somerset. 2) Purchasing a big batch of old 1970s What Car? magazines that now give me an unbroken run from issue 1 in 1973 to 1991. Just a few '90s issues to take me up to 2000, which is about as far as I'm interested in going. There's a great variety in every issue, they're nicely written with honest, real-world verdicts and overall give a good idea of motoring generally back at the time of publication. This acquisition does leave me with quite a few duplicates, which along with hundreds of other 'twicers' I must start selling off. Will endeavour to have a sort out and start a thread going in the relevant place, prices will be significantly less than eBay etc. Datsuncog, HillmanImp, Lacquer Peel and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilA Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Woot Phil - move house niaow To Houston? No. Even I'm not that insane to take on Houston. Currently in Buffalo, NY. Car requires: Good steering handling (Reason, 60 to 25mph off-ramps)Good brakes (Reason, everybody approaches a red light at full speed then emergency stop)Good acceleration (Reason, traffic light Grand Prix and also 50-yard on-ramps) I think the councils may run the wheel/tire/brake places and ensure the roads have enough potholes to ensure constant profit margins. Saw 9/10ths of a Dodge Neon today in Niagra. It had no inner or outer sills, no door bottoms, no wheel arch lips and no leading edge of the hood. Impressive BMC quality corrosion.

The Moog Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Pushed submit on my first 4000 word assignment for my PhD - a cheeky little story about rationality within management and the concept of functional stupidity Been agonising over it for the last 2 months - hence all the car updates to distract me. Only 5 more before I have to submit my research proposal The sun is out and it isn't as Baltic as yesterday - so hopefully more car fettling. chaseracer, rantingYoof, Semi-C and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barmatt Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Just popped round to the shop and saw three immaculate looking series i Land Rovers parked on the opposite side of the road, one with the bonnet up. Went to see if I could help with tools etc. Turns out one of the wires on the distributor had corroded and split, nipped home grabbed some connectors, wire, crimps etc and they were up and running again in no time. I didn't do the work, just supplied the bits but it's always nice to be of assistance. wuvvum, Saabnut, Tickman and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frogchod Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 My tame mechanic Jake has finally got his 4 poster installed so I took the Buick over for an inspection. Verdict: not nearly as fucked as CT tester made out Only about 800 euro fucked. This morning Jake wrestled on two new wishbones on the van for only 70 euro At that price I'm never fitting wishbones myself ever again wuvvum, chaseracer, myglaren and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
