jakebullet Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Needed some poxy plastic clips to put wheel arch liners back on disco. Discovered they're only* £1.50 each and I need about 15. Er, no thanks. Found out P38 ones look similar-ish and are £5 for 20 delivered. Much better and they fit myglaren, LightBulbFun and mrbenn 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbenn Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 This week has turned into quite a trying time due to a couple of unexpected events. Two things of note have helped me, one of which has been the patience and understanding shown to me by one of our number. He knows who he is and I greatly appreciate it. The other is this torque wrench. This used to be owned by a guy called Victor who lived across the road. I'll try not to go on, but he was a brilliant chap. He'd owned, driven, crashed and rebuilt some amazing cars over his driving career. He used to regale me with tales of the cars he'd worked on in the street outside his house, the scrapes he and his friend's had got into when they were younger and the "solutions" he'd employed to keep things moving. He had so many stories, often hilarious and all fascinating. He'd forgotten more about cars than I will ever know, and was always willing and ready to offer advice or lend a hand. Victor died almost exactly 6 years ago, quite suddenly. One of my final memories of him was seeing him stride over the road, this time with torque wrench in hand, ready to help me when I'd got stuck with something (again). I can picture him so clearly, even down to what he was wearing, almost as if he were walking across the road to help me right now. For some reason, I guess due to this strong image stamped on my memory, I had often wondered what happened to this torque wrench. I assumed a family member had taken it to use, or perhaps it was left in the boot of his car when it was sold after his death. Imagine how I felt when his wife called me over to see if I wanted some old tool, as she had no use for it. She opened the cupboard and brought this out. Stupid as it sounds, it was all I could do not to burst into tears in front of her. I did briefly explain I remember him using it, and was chuffed to have it but left it at that so as not to risk upsetting her. Suffice to say I'm over the moon to see it again, never mind own it. I have three other torque wrenches so I don't "need" it, but none of them have anything close to the value of this one. myglaren, dozeydustman, Redfred and 37 others 38 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's with the wrong woman , I bet he's had "let's take my car it does double mpg to yours" as well Not that those words have ever been said to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quicksilver Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 The Maxi has been pretending to be a Citroen again with an unscheduled trip to the D Rally this afternoon. Lots of gorgeous DSs but this was the real highlight - a RHD UK-market genuine Decapotable. A similar car sold for more than £170,000 recently! This 'D-crap by Harri Crapron' is more in our price range though Astroturf carpets, gaffa taped seats and no roof whatsoever. Perfect* Mirror-image blue Safaris are pretty special too A most pleasant afternoon out, finished off with a visit to Mrs6C and a glass of her famous cider.

anonymous user Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 I went down to Pembrokeshire to visit my sister, lots of nice stuff on the roads down there, the highlight (for me) being a Morris 8 by Whitland, not sure if there was a classic rally/show somewhere as also saw a rallied up Avenger on a trailer, a few Stags and a very nice Mk3 Capri. Also when I had a wee stop, at Swansea services on the way back, more proof that all Vauxhalls etc. Some poor sod with a Corsa with three AA vans in attendance, not sure if they were doing anything or just commiserating.
