320touring Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 After much faffery, plenty money and much effort from @Tickman @blackboilersuit @jaypee @captain_70s @Supernaut and countless others, this happened! The Oxford was on the road today!!! 😁 Here it is by the Union Canal, one outmoded mode of transport by another.

Supernaut Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 I was sitting a decent distance behind this thing in the Rexton with the window down and music playing, and I could still hear the diff. Quality mode of transport. RobT, Lacquer Peel, phil_lihp and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's poorly framed and taken with a phone camera. I'll need to take my proper DSLR over there next time and get a decent photo of it. jaypee and eddyramrod 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyramrod Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 I just got an advertising email. Now this wouldn't normally cause a Grin, but it was from Tui, with the headline "Get your summer holiday sorted." Too late chaps, it's almost complete now, our two-week roadtrip in France and Germany! And all done independently. Now THAT's a Grin!

Back_For_More Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Just back from Belgo land again and the ex 83c Forester is a corker after the 13hr total shift of both rear wheel bearings..... Grin was the head unit seems to have taken 1 of 2 options...... Either an early warning system or become very judgemental of the owner..... Not sure which Car is running like clockwork after bypassing rotten coolant pipe under the inlet manifold..... Need to get a fleet thread sorted really I suppose.

Remspoor Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Tonight I am mainly pissed. A bottle or red to myself and a few Aguardientes. The later is a alcoholic drink made by distinction of the grapes after the wine have been made. It is similar to Grappa in Italy or Eau-de-vie from France. I am slightly* hissed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyslexic Viking Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 It's strange with smells and memories. It's a cold winter morning here and the property is covered with the smell of diesel exhaust from an old tractor and the smell immediately reminds me of my earliest memory which was Dad carrying me outside one early winter morning and putting me in the bunk of the idling Volvo F10 he then drove. It's strange how memories like that last through life. Wibble, dome, auntiemaryscanary and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cold morning and certain old cars running with the choke on while they get warmed up... reminds me of being a child, slightly late for school waiting for the car to defrost just enough for my mum to drive away.
