meggersdog Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Just had a car in for mot that was driven from Idaho to New York via Maryland then on a contain ship to Liverpool. I won't give the full details as it should be at the restoration show next month. Anyway the guys driving across the states did mention a suspension knock but put it down to being an old car that had been laid up. There is a safety inspection sticker from Maryland where there was no mention of the headlight loosely held on with one cable tie or what I am about to tell. The guys also seemed amused by how strict our safety inspections are. Turns out the offside macpherson strut had dropped down the hub and rubbed a groove in the driveshaft and a hole in the bottom of the strut loosing all it's fluid.

wuvvum Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Looking at the level of damage I would imagine somebody probably sneezed within 10 feet of it. Skizzer, The Moog, HarmonicCheeseburger and 3 others 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supernaut Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I went to the Jim Clark Museum this morning before driving back up from the borders. Well worth the visit.

vulgalour Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 In our local Tesco there's a little table full of books with an honesty pot, set out by a local charity. I recently snagged myself a copy of Blott on the Landscape there. Today, I had to do a double-take when I saw an early eighties tabletop roleplay rulebook sat amongst the Danielle Steele and self-help books. Put a smart donation in the pot for this one, probably the best thing I've ever found in Tesco. The artwork in it is great and while I'm unlikely to ever find a group to play this with and it's only the book, it's still a very nice thing to have. paulplom, DSdriver, privatewire and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 @vulgalour very kindly sent me a book full of dreadful (but nonetheless GR8) cartoon jokes the other day.

SiC Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 First Bristol is short of buses. Something to do with Wright Buses going broke. As there is a shortage of buses they have reinstated some of their older buses that were left parked up when newer ones came in. Unfortunately they haven't been that reliable coming back into service. They're a bit shonky! This evening my transport is this lovely old thing. Delayed going out as it appears they were topping up the coolant! Genuinely a lot smoother and quieter ride than their 2015+ buses we usually get around here. I guess because these are running slush autos rather than automated manuals? Interior seems brighter and more light in too. Bus lickers on here no doubt know all the differences. Interior is like going back in time! In surprisingly good condition considering how much uses these things have had. Seats could do with new foam though. Oh and the front display is a proper flip dot board. jumpingjehovahs, Roobarb and HarmonicCheeseburger 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightBulbFun Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 an ALX400!, im not sure which chassis that one is on, im sure the more seasoned lickers can tell (I focus on London buses primarily!) pretty much the only Modern Low floor bus I want to own someday (a London stagecoach, Trident chassied one please!) I have many fond memories of these as the 3 most local routes to me (26 48 and 55) used these buses for a very long time makes me feel mighty old when you say "Lovely old thing" LOL you can read about the London stagecoach ones here http://www.countrybus.org/TA_Stagecoach/TA_1.htm (again made me feel very old when I saw that Ians bus stop had done a page on them!) paulplom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bramz7 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Got a reasonably epic holiday coming up in just under a month. London to Paris to Turin in one day...all trains booked and hotel in Turin near the car museum and gigantic mall (former Fiat factory as featured in the Italian job) reserved. Train down to Bari for three nights there, then train down to Lecce for three nights. Train back up to Bologna for one night, then maybe Turin again, and then back to Paris for one night and then Eurostar back home again. As I work for a TOC, we can get free travel coupons for European travel, with the only cost being a seat reservation supplement on the train. 9 nights of hotels booked so far, coming in at approx £35 per person per night...and these aren't dive hotels either. Quite pleased with that. NorthernMonkey, GrumpiusMaximus, bangernomics and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
