Not that an extension would make any difference as the beach incident may not have been the only time he's ignored his original ban. Herts Road Traffic recently picked up a disqualified driver who was only 48 hours from the end of his current ban, but who didn't give a shit and got behind the wheel anyway.

Soundwave Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 The journey to the FOTU today was the first time I've used the 216 for an extended journey. It performed pretty much flawlessly, bar a slight wheel wobble at 70 - must go and have the wheels tracked and balanced at some point. Very impressed at how efficient it is on a run - did a 130 mile round trip on less than £20 of pez, which is impressive for a 1.6 engine with its design roots in the 80s. It's pretty comfy too - I remember driving my Beetle to and from VW shows back in the day, even after a relatively short trip I'd be tired and aching, as if I'd been slipped a sedative and then suplexed into a rockery. No such issues here, was completely fine when I got home! Overall, really pleased with how it performed. So pleased, I'm going to gloss over the fact it's a Honda Concerto in a tweed jacket and declare this a victory for British design.

beko1987 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Got a hoover friend coming over for a chat, coffee and to pick up some machines I've refurbished for him and his BMW X5 4.4 v8 splaffed a load of coolant out at him last night... ARSE is on standby from my end but he seems to be doing well so far! myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beko1987 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 My friend made it fine, seems to be a split header tank. Barely used any coolant though. Its a lovely beast, smells like new despite being a 54 plate. He drives 3 miles a day and says its no more to run than his old derv BMW for that (and is fully ulez compliant. Gets 8mpg in lahndan, he had it to 27.3 coming here doing 65 so as to not make the coolant escape. Can't say I wasn't a bit jealous, although I'd still not get one. myglaren and The Moog 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulgalour Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 That, I believe, is the very last of the old wiring removed from the Lanchester. Took four hours just to get the one run out of the chassis, like, but it's done. Ready for the new wiring to go in which will hopefully be easier now I know what I'm doing.

warch Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 My spray gun packed in yesterday afternoon as I was about to lay a lovely thick coat of Bronze Green enamel on my Land Rover panels. A bit of desultory dismantling revealed that one of the o rings on the trigger was buggered. Despite having had hundreds of o rings in various service kits for things that I've never used, I could only find one, which was the same size and girth as a cock ring (apparently). Luckily popped into my local motor factors on a whim this morning and managed to find a replacement o ring for the princely sum of 5 pence. I can't actually remember the last time I spent 5p in a shop before, probably in the early 80s.

I should point out that the 5p ones have an internal diameter of about 5mm, so unless you are hung like Richard Richard or are going for hardcore levels of blood restriction then a larger size would probably be advisable.

vulgalour Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 The Lanchester wiring, it is routed! Last section didn't go too badly apart from getting rained on at a point in the job where I couldn't really stop. Just to connect things up and test and whatnot now... when it stops raining that is, and my arms have recovered from being noodles. loserone, warch, LightBulbFun and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minimad5 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Visited a flower selling place full of old folk, the good lady was enjoying looking at pretty flowers and spender her hard earned ££. All through this posh gaff I was getting the beedy eye from staff (anyone who knows me will know I dress like a scruffy fecker) ... so anyway an old bloke approaches us and asks were we got the trolley from, the poor bloke was on two walking sticks and looked a tad wobbly on his legs, so I told him to wait and I'll return with one, of which a member of staff overheard & looked shocked that this scruffy bastard was helping someone out, he thanked me endlessly - which was lovely. And the 'fuck you' grin the helpful* staff member recieved made my day 😅 Didn't stop them counting all items in the trolly 4 times and checking we hadn't hidden anything between plants 🤦♂️ privatewire, Leyland Worldmaster, myglaren and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as far as I can tell The person who checked it wasn't sure if it was enough but asked a more senior (well, older at least) member of staff and they said it was fine. To be honest they're definitely not paid enough to care. Dick Longbridge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
