The Moog Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I may be the new owner of a pug 205 that is overheating. Bought it for my brother as his first car, then it was passed on to a family friend. He wants rid so offered £100 for it. He is mulling it over. Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarvinsMom Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 while been over at the temple of doom (the father in laws) i have washed and dried the mini, my metro and the xj6. for even more giggles, i've brought the mini home this evening. tomorrow we are doing to a social thing with the rover 75 club tomorrow. as the 75 is in disgrace again with a kippered clutch master cylinder, we need to use another vehicle. another rover will be deputising for the 75, this time the mini. both are from longbridge, and the mini/metro line was turned over to the 75 production after the end of the mini.

phil_lihp Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Was chatting to an older chap from my running club at the local Parkrun this morning and he asked if I owned the white Rover he'd spotted in my driveway when walking past. When I confirmed that yes, it was mine, he started to tell me about his Rover - a post-war P2 no less, which gets regularly used although I've yet to spot it out and about. He was telling me how it hadn't actually cost all that much to buy and 'you've got to treat yourself sometimes, haven't you?' He then casually dropped into the conversation the phrase 'I've also got a fawn-coloured Borward Isabella'. That was very surprising, I'd seen it around a few times (I can be pretty sure it'd be his, not many of those around!) but hadn't clocked the driver. I know nothing much about them but always thought it was a particularly lovely old thing and very, very tidy. Now I've found out it's him, I'll have to get to know him better! He believes in using the cars properly and told me he had to go to Germany to get it (I didn't know Borgward was West German). Apparently, he's since found out it may be the oldest one left in the country too. Lord Sterling, Banger Kenny, HMC and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave21478 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I like the Australian no-nonsense attitude. Apparently this can be bought from whatever they use instead of halfords.

dollywobbler Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Went to a rather fancy wedding. The Groom turned up in this. The wedding car was a Beauford unfortunately, but I guess they are practical for that sort of thing. You can just see the XM's nose here at the reception. The Range Rover owners didn't stop for a chat. That's my sister-in-law's Skoda and Mrs DW in the yellow dress. Our main success story was getting the bride to ride a huge, bronze horse. Well, if you don't ask, you don't get. I haven't sifted through those pics yet. Also, fascinators genuinely are fascinating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taff Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 not really car related but had my son here this weekend. He turned up with his tool box and a chunk of wood that looks like it was once part of a coffee table. His mates told him there was no way he could turn it into a skateboard hardly a massive engineering undertaking granted, but he's finding his way around the spanners and is bloody minded with it. He did the whole job in my living room too, because it was raining and some twat has stuffed an X1/9 in the garage DVee8, STUNO, anonymous user and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkfour Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 As I mentioned in my Lazy Spotters post I has a weekend away with the family. Little did I know that the owner of the cabin we rented is a big car head and invited me to look at his cars in his 6+ garage. Camaro up for sale for $26k ish (good for 11 sec 1/4 mile apparently) 1950 Chevy, rust free, all metal, no filler it was done old skool with lead. 1934 (?) Chevy with a very rare blower on it. Bought from some drag racers in North Carolina that made about 12 of them before they went bust. This is 1 of 2 that have survived. His latest project for his wife is a 2CV. He's ripped out the old motor and in the process of installing a 750cc from a BMW motorbike guess it's either a R75/5 or 75/6. He's built some sort of adaptor/clutch/flywheel thing and now turning his attention to the brakes. He said he'll take this down the drag strip too just for giggles.

dollywobbler Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 That 2CV is an incredible hotch-potch. 1980s bodyshell by the look of it, but 1970s suspension and front brakes. I think a disc conversion might be a good idea with that engine! Here's what a BMW 2CV goes like. myglaren, mat_the_cat, cms206 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
