cobblers Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Facebook "memories" bollocks finally came in useful today! It popped up with some photos from 2 years ago when I had sold by Abarth 595, which set off a brain chain reaction. I had 13 years NCB on my "normal car" policy with the Abarth, and I was going to swap it over onto another policy to keep it going. Obviously I forgot all about it at the time. I sold the car two years ago... Cancelled the policy two years ago... NCB lasts two years.... Fuck! Luckily I managed to get my proof of NCB out of adrian flux and parked it on my van policy with about 2 hours to spare. clayts450, loserone, Volksy and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilA Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Took a couple of goes but this fit back behind the garage, now with the mower in front of it. Truck is where the GTA was, both are now under a roof, which is good. Keeps the sun off them for the most part.

PhilA Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 70 miles to the RO-RO shipping port. It got a bit spluttery and upset earlier but it's not been driven anywhere. Aircon still works though. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camryv6 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 @PhilA Look can't you tell I am a mouth breathing timewaster ? but if you want to respray it and do a full mechanical overhaul and put it in a container for £500 I could be interested ?

Andyrew Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I've had this rusty tube kicking around for years. It's not much use for anything so it was going to be scrapped. Today I finally made some use of it. Rusty pipe, some scabby 6mm plate, an old tin of Matt laquer and a mig welder later. myglaren, Amishtat, loserone and 36 others 38 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I'm off to Somerset in the morning to visit my parents. Haven't seen them since Christmas, and apart from a brief foray over the border to Bury St Eds to pick up a pushbike I haven't been out of Norfolk for over three months. I'm properly looking forward to it. blakey79, SiC, puddlethumper and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
