Facebook has informed me that Leeds on the 27th of October is having:-

"Leeds Day of the Dead Fiesta!"

Somehow I doubt it will be what I've imagined it to be...

 

 

 

Burnt out Ford Fiesta by Aqualite, on Flickr

I had no idea this existed, it's perfect.

 

 

 

 

One day I'll make a bootleg Marrakech or Jolly.

Went for a drive and spotted a church in Newport that looked lovely all lit up so stopped to take a picture of the saph outside it, i was taking a few pictures and heard a bloke say "look a sierra, photobomb" ran over to it, i laughed said go on then

 

Here's the photobombers

Saw this personal plate t'other night. Sooooo close...

Pulled the generator apart tonight.

 

 

Reason? Starter wouldn't engage, just a clunk of solenoid. Solenoid was riveted together, don't know why, every other aspect of it was designed to be serviceable. Regardless, found the culprit; a bit of chemistry.

 

 

The terminal there, connected to the negative side of the battery had turned totally green but the steel nut on the copper terminal was fine so I pulled it out and cleaned it up.

 

 

The positive connection was fine, the copper all shiny but the steel nut has corroded very badly. Didn't have to get that one off, thankfully...

 

Reassembled it with screws, net result now is the switch operates the starter motor. All I have to do now is coax some life back into the battery and I'll be all set.

Fine for tooling about on Capri, etc where the maximum speed is about 10mph(unless you're a homicidal minicabist) but a bit of a deathtrap anywhere else.

They're a death trap when they have full rigidity. Might as well do it topless...

Sat in the departure lounge awaiting a flight to paris. Not flown for years so got a touch of nerves but can't wait to see my girlfriend out there. Doubt there will be much old chod out there though to see. Next I come over I'm going to drive over in one of the bx's

Every car in Paris looks like old chod, they just bump park everywhere and every car seems to have dents factory fitted as standard. Get to the Place de la Concord for the lights Grand Prix, seven lanes at the lights, three across the bridge, no markings. Better than anything old Bernie did in F1.

Saw ... a metallic brown Opel Monza.  ...it was like this and the number plate ended had something like HSE at the end. 

 

Did you get a look at the driver? It could have been Edd_Samba_S, his is back on the road I think. This is the only picture I have, and quite possibly the worst image I have ever posted:

 

[M'coli]

Wrong reg. number for SambaS's one, I checked!

Well people say you don't get anything for nothing these days, firstly I wanted the strip that sits under the headlamp on the saph painted (The one so I can put my headlamp wipers back on as I've managed to get the bits i need that broke) popped to the bodyshop and he laughed when I asked him how much, he couldn't charge me to do that so left it with him, second I had an annoying slight blow from the front join (the type you can only hear if you pull next to a wall) since I changed my engine, sealing it didnt work so went for my yearly exhaust check earlier and mentioned it to him admitting i caused it, he proceeded to take it off and sort it and put a new clamp on, asked him how much and again no charge.

Looking forward to the drive into work in the morning.

 

 

Even if the steering is knackered.

You need to furnish these people with cakes/beer to show your appreciation.

To be fair, I think most li-ion batteries these days come from China. In some ways, they're starting to lead the world when it comes to EV tech.

@Joe n M'Coli:  It was the spit of Ed's and that was my first thought.  Number plate and the driver not looking anything like Ed made me realise there must be two metallic brown Monzas in the world.  Two!
