Parky Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I forgot to mention this as well. Spent a week in Toulouse staying at a big old house near the town of Seyres.

Tamworthbay Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Fired up the Capri today. First time this year due to building projects and illness curtailing time available (especially as I need nice days as I can only work on it outside). Took a few seconds to suck some fuel through then started perfectly and ran sweet as anything. It just needs paint (the one thing I am shite at) so big effort needed next year to get it on the road even if it looks a bit scruffy. danthecapriman and strangeangel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey spud Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I rescued this 3.2 tonne trolley jack from the scrap metal bin of a well know tyre retailer the other day. It had apparently jammed and wouldn't lower so it was junked. Once it was up the shed it became clear that it just needed a new pin fitting to the u/j at the base of the handle. I call that a fecking result a £150 2018 quick lift jack for absolutely nothing... chaseracer, dome, GrumpiusMaximus and 21 others 22 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 That looks very similar to my SGS one but with plastic tyres on the front wheel. Absolutely fantastic things, can lift a side of the Volvo frighteningly high off the ground very quickly! Joey spud 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clayts450 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I declare the 214 now driveable - long circuit last night, trip to Halfords in Ilkeston this afternoon, evening Sainsbury's shop in Kimberley and then home the very long way round via Hucknall, Annesley and the M1. Didn't miss a beat, overtook a few dawdlers too, and kept up with a very swift Merc, but we both got stuck behind another dawdler. Might give it a week of commuter duties to see how that pans out, but touch wood, vibrations in the cabin aside, it feels a lot perkier after I replaced the mid/back sections of the exhaust yesterday. chaseracer, Floatylight and LightBulbFun 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulplom Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 A few from Whitley Bay car show today. There must have been a couple of hundred there. Most of your vw, fast ford and mini generic stuff in abundance. Lots of americana, my mate had 2 of his there. It was 14° but f'ing freezing due to the coastal location and the howling gale. We could have easily spent the day there but we rushed round in an hour. Brass jive band playing, shows, food vans etc. A bit of a shame. Why not hold the fucker in the summer?

vulgalour Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Wiper blade went all streaky in the BX today and my favourite local shop for replacements wasn't open. I could have gone to Halfords since they had what I wanted but I was feeling lazy so tried Wilkinsons instead who only had these bizarre articulated frame aero blade things. A dawdle across the street to Boyes and there's a range of Champion branded - I thought they only did spark plugs - blades for £2.50 each. That'll do nicely. At that price I'm happy if they last until the end of the week, any longer than that is free money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 I saw an Amphicar on the Norwich northern bypass this afternoon. First time I've ever seen one on the road - probably the most ungainly-looking vehicle I've ever seen when in motion. Didn't get a photo sadly as couldn't get my phone out in time. Must have been a show on somewhere as the same journey also provided a Harvest Gold K-plate Marina parked outside a chippy, and a Bristol Lodekka threading its way up a narrow residential street in central Norwich. strangeangel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spottedlaurel Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Saw a few old things on a trip to London today, including one which will be familiar to a few of us: Yes, it was Seth in his venerable Minx! Managed to grab a quick shouted exchange across Lambeth Bridge. Sadly didn't realise he'd parked-up around the corner until I saw him drive off.... myglaren, wuvvum, Datsuncog and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
