M'coli Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I took the dog out for a walk tonight...around a field with hundreds of Citroens in it! I just chanced it, saw DW's stripey BX estate(I thought he was taking the mk1, but there you go!) but not the man himself, a phalanx of 2CVs, a plethora of DS, some CX and a pair of SM side-by-side. It would be worth the £15 for the full day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulgalour Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Got stuck in traffic on the M1 on the way home and the Princess, bless her, didn't even try to overheat, or billow lots of oily smoke from under the bonnet, or stall when I set off when traffic started moving again. It felt special to have a car with such a reputation actually transport me home reliably, especially after the day I've had! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meshking Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 The car journey I have just completed: From Pune to Mumbai in a truly shite Mahindra 4x4. The utter shite (both truck and car) on the road kept me awake for the 3 hour journey (to do 130 km). Well, the shite and the drivers bizarre driving style - roar up to 110 kph in fifth, knock into neutral and coast to 60kph. Repeat. Unfortunately, due to the pissing rain I got no photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Went to the ICCCR2012 show in Harrogate. Someone also told BBC Radio York and Minster FM travel about it. Glorious weather, salty enrty fee but a cracking show. There was a bit too much organic food and folk music for my liking, but these are old Citroens we're talking about.

vulgalour Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Kudos on Dad endeavours. When I was little, the plastic seat on the garden swing broke, so Dad replaced it with a tyre and a bit of floor board and it became infinitely more awesome, especially because you could then get two kids on the swing and tip the whole thing over.

You are SO stuck in the nineties too. That needs to be stretched onto a 100Jx13 rim with a negative camber of at least 45 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cms206 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Clearing up some boxes of assorted shit from when we moved into this house (now preparing to move out 12 years later and still not unpacked) and came across this.

Cavcraft Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 The Olympics and the BBC. This closing ceremony is just utterly brilliant and shows that when Britain does something like this we're the best in the world. I don't give a flying f*ck how much the whole shebang has cost us, it's been worth every single penny and a lot more besides. The Beeb have absolutely excelled at the coverage and thank God we didn't have airheads, adverts and driss that itv would have bought us.On top of all that and most importantly we've got some amazing, astounding athletes to be proud of, medals or no medals. I bloody love Britain and being British. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astonishing performance from the British athletes, the BBC and the people who organised the whole thing. CLASS packed closing ceremony too!
