beko1987 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Oh you've got to drive round in that for a bit, even just to say you have! You'd probably take one look at the wiring on it and freak out too lol, could repair all that then ebay it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are some of my favourites: Totally not the worst song subject I've ever seen... Trumped by this man. What an album! Fun fact, the guy with the bouffant hair is Wayne Cochran, soul singer. Seems that his hairdo is surprisingly not a wig either. Tenmil Socket and somewhatfoolish 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Laurence Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 My mum’s old Fiesta is still on the road! She owned it for nearly 10 years, and part ex’d it last year for scrap money. It’s one of the first cars I ever drove, and one that I have a lot of fond childhood memories of, so it’s a nice surprise to see that it’s still being cared for by somebody. A photo of it just before she got rid. It looked far less presentable in person Remspoor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remspoor Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Bini somehow gets onto the Interlagos circuit during a race.

Dippy Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Heard a funny noise coming from the gas fire today and it turned out to be a Coal Tit stuck in the flue. Spent a couple of hours stripping fire down so it could get out which ot eventually did and gave a nice tweet as it flew past and outside via the conservatory. xtriple, rainagain, wuvvum and 9 others 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remspoor Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 This did not make be so much as grin as to say WTF? The Metro in a Rotterdam (The Netherlands) suburb crashed through several stop blocks and onto a sculpture of Whale tails. The train had been in service, but at the time there were no passengers on board. The reason for the tails is because the station is a few hundred metres up the line and this area of track are known at tails and are used for temporary storage of carriages. The driver was unhurt. catsinthewelder, mitsisigma01, Three Speed and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fumbler Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Well then, managed to drive 160 miles to college and I didn't die... A303 was nice though, and the car did a nice ~40MPG. I'm sure I can get it higher though! LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tadhg Tiogar Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Finally managed to tackle the failing LCD displays in the CX: Trouble is that the heating/cooling over the years causes the LCD polarising filters to leak out, so you end up not having a black background for the digits so the displays become unreadable. Also the plastic casing goes brittle, so the screws lose their grip. Cannibalised bits from three half-broken units to make one good one: The PCB itself is quite robust and doesn't seem to fail. Anyhow, some fiddling with superglue and screwdrivers later and we had normal service..... ....although it now looks like the ambient temperature sensor thing has failed, giving me a temperature fit for the Equator rather than the 8 or 9 actual Celsius. Must locate the temperature sensor - someone told me it's mounted on a headlamp. Still, all good for now. myglaren, chodweaver, xtriple and 21 others 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Looking at cars in New Zealand.....this particular piece of shit keeps winking at me, currently listed as $500 in the wrecked cars section of TradeMe. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/wrecked-cars/listing/2838989275?bof=Dt6apnnx Its 180km away from where I will be living so a three hour bus journey followed by a 180km drive home in a slippy clutched Impreza. It’s tempting......and yes, in amongst my stuff is two and a half litres of RAL 5002 Ultramarine Blue Rustoleum Combicolor paint. Any prizes for guessing where I am going with this? Either way I need to commit to one of these as clutch kits, service parts, and timing belt kits are (pardon my French) fucking outrageously expensive there so I’d save a ton of cash buying them now and putting them in my shipping container. I suppose ultimately if I don’t get one I could probably flog the parts at a profit through the small ads. Decisions, decisions......

phil_lihp Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 After over a year of buildup, I finally passed my final MOD2 test yesterday, first try with only one minor for an indicator whoopsie. This meant that the BMW F650CS that's been sat in my garage since last November finally got insured and out on the road with the last couple of hours of daylight. It's done little more than get started up and left idling for a few minutes every few weeks since I bought it last year, it took a few miles for it to clear its throat but once it'd warmed up and had some fresh fuel in it, it ran superbly. Just in time for winter! And yes I know double yellows, it was a brief stop to stretch legs and admire the view. Extra points if you can identify the location. 155V6, CGSB, clayts450 and 15 others 15 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out Run Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Took part in an Zoom Speed Awareness course, yesterday.

NorfolkNWeigh Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Just seen a telly advert for MG milk floats and there’s a lovely Mk2 Granada in it. Made me think, you can still just about buy a Mk2 Granny for the money the Government give you to pay a further £20,000 odd to China. Surely it would be a better idea forHMG buy me a Granada?
