Spottedlaurel Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Got this old listings magazine off eBay, not one I'd seen before: Car Buyer Sept-Oct 1979 by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr Chock-full of ad's for some mouthwatering stuff. Sadly no pictures though. Car Buyer Sept-Oct 1979 by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr Something for everyone here! I'm intrigued by the 1968 Daihatsu from JK Sportscars, and also their 1974 Datsun 120A Samurai (actually Samuri) was also a bit of a rarity. Would have been one of these: Datsun 120A Shoo Samuri TGT 390M by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr Sir Snipes, wuvvum, Joey spud and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulgalour Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Needed to do a change of address on the BX insurance policy. I wasn't sure what to expect so was pleasantly surprised when there was no change of details fee, and no increase to my policy. Something of a relief, really. MoT next which I'm cautiously optimistic about, except for the little drop of LHM I found under the back of the car the other day (that has not since reappeared), so here's hoping it behaves itself on the day and the garage I take it to understands that old Citroens sometimes leak a bit of LHM out of anxiety/spite and it's nothing to worry about. andy18s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplebargeken Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Am at work, talking with colleagues, so distracted. I was thirsty so took hold of my diluted apple cordial. Except it wasn't. I unscrewed a cap, put a bottle to my lips and took the hugest gulp of ever. Sadly it was neat double strength apple cordial. Think apple flavoured battery acid. I am now burping apples. I need to drink about 4 pints of water to dilute the cordial appropriately in what is left of my stomach. My throat hurts. As does my stomach.

I promise I didn't choose the house just because of the garage well, not just for the garage, the house is nice too ! it's needing a bit of work on the electrics - the feed from the house is live at one end but not at the other - the cable runs under the patio which is small paving stones, hopefully not too much of a pain to lift and run a new cable. for now, an extension cord out the window was enough to get the lights working PhilA, loserone, puddlethumper and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
