Dippy Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Finally managed to get a full day's work done on the Princess got the fuel tank out in ½ hour then stripped a few more bits before starting to cut some rot out and even managed to get a small repair patch in under a jacking point before calling it a day.Still lots of rust to deal with but it feels good to have started properly at last. outlaw118 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinmasters Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 NEW tyres. Not second-hand wheels, fitted with tyres with marginally more tread on them than those on the outgoing wheels, but actually actual new tyres. outlaw118 and myglaren 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardmorris Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Driving down the m3 this morning to head off to box hill for a long walk I spied a w124 grill approaching slowly in the mirror. Closer and closer, it was a coupe! The same colour as mine too! He passed just before the m25 junction and his wife/partner/kidnap victim waved. A 300ce - g reg, the first I've seen on the road since I bought mine nearly four years ago. forddeliveryboy and andrew e 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy18s Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 The rain has held off for a couple of days now,meaning the garden has dried out enough to drag the mower out and trim the suprisingly long grass....Decided to give the hedge a going over as well,again after a growth spurt which left it looking rather scruffyNot bad for the last week in DecemberUp at silly o'clock tomorrow to collect my latest purchase...

NorfolkNWeigh Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 On Christmas Eve, Mrs N informed me that the headlights on her Freelander had packed up, 'Great' thinks I ' another nightmare electrical fault on a piece of modern crap'Today,after googling and forum searching , I thought I'd start by replacing the bulbs.Bingo! Both headlights working perfectly, I'm now embarrassed that I hadn't noticed one was out before the other went, unless they both gave up T the sMe time.I rewarded it by taking old bath and boxes of tiles to the tip, using my patent gaffer tape load restraining method. outlaw118, gm, oldcars and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkNWeigh Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Yeah, I wouldn't want to tow much more than a camping/ tip run type trailer with it . It was fitted by the supplying Land Rover dealer and the previous owner towed a big fuck off 4 wheel caravan with it. One of the reasons it's on its 3rd clutch , I suppose .

gm Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I just remembered that when I was driving home on Christmas Eve, I noticed a section of the a1 seems to have been fitted with self powered cats eyes - I definitely didn't test this discovery by switching off my headlights at 60mph and it definitely wasn't just like being in an 80s video game can't be sure what part of the a1 it was but probably the crap single carriageway between Berwick and Morpeth that has just been resurfaced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was on a stretch up into the mountains where it can get pretty grim so maybe they have good reason to splash out on new safety stuff there.

EssDeeWon Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Think I just majorly pissed off the driver of one of those new Fiesta ST things. On a short stretch of dual carriageway I got stuck behind a flatbed so decided to boot the 75 and go past it, but so did the white Fiesta ST behind me as he sat on my back bumper during the overtake.........so I passed the flatbed and moved back in lane but still with my foot down, meanwhile Mr New £20k ST is also trying to take me out before the next round about........gets beside me but bottles it and eats a huge slab of humble pie and pulls back in behind the Rover.

They work further away though so handier on my test track which is the only place I ever exceed 70mph.I think I remember them on the bit of M42 just before you crash into the M5.

jakebullet Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Parked outside flower n plant shop in town. That's a metric fuckton of potted daffodils they've got on the pavement, they'll never sell all of those! Closer inspection finds they have a sign "free to good home, please adopt me". So I took Ma a pot of them. Have you paid for those? No, they're free... Oh, get one for idiot sister... so I grabbed 2 more... We could put some in garden. Sod it, grabbed a tray of 30. I did think what is the acceptable quantity to take of free stuff? When it's free firewood pallets at wholesale place the answer is always as many as I can cram in the disco, but felt I may have overdone it with daffodils.
