Coprolalia Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Just met one of my neighbours, three doors up, in his 80s, lived here since the 1970s. After general pleasantries he informed me Britain would never succeed until it brought the old money back. We had been failing since we lost the shilling. He then showed me his workshop/ garage, which contained a tidy Peugeot 406 saloon, brush-painted cobalt blue. loserone, The Moog, myglaren and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on which Series 2 CX you're looking at, it could be anything from one (22 TRS) to four (GTi Turbo 2) readouts. If mine were anything to go by, those could be broken / failed readouts.

wuvvum Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Shonky the DTR had 3, of which only one (coolant temp) worked. That's the most important of the three though - others were clock and outside temp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't comment on the fuse as I cut some mega overkill flex offa shit extension lead so it has whatever it has! Have thought of putting a connector in the cable though, it's too much to stick on my cheap tripod. Would be neater to wrap it up somewhere else... Infact that's given me an idea... These are splendid; even if the inverters shit themselves I'll just daisychain them off whatever power supply I have lying around, a PC power supply would probably do it. beko1987 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cort16 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I was down my lockup at lunchtime and some old boy rolls into the garage with a set of these flapping from the wheels of his Honda Jazz. He said he bought a Jazz and thought these would make it look jazzier. He had them fitted then when as soon as went around the first corner they broke free from the rim of the wheel and started flapping around like crazy. Looked GR8 on his Jazz 15 inch rims 😀 myglaren and Tickman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Instow?

artdjones Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 See I didn't know this photo existed. I think it's the 205 Junior belonging to my parents in law, taken about 20 years ago. Although I had two 205s in that red about the same time. It's up in the Kerry Mountains, I think near the Gap of Dunloe. Today was our 33rd anniversary,and I got the usual handmade card from my wife:- Stanky, Austat, xtriple and 21 others 23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
