Rust Collector Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Just sorted out the insurance for the Audi. Rather than add it straight on to our multicar policy I've swapped the Volvo off, seeing as I'm unlikely to use that in the near future with the chassis needing a bit of, err, 'fettling'. Fully expected the usual spanking, but it actually worked out cheaper with the change - a year's cover was about £185 on the Audi compared to about £210 on the Volvo. No meaningful difference after the £9 admin charge but still felt good compared to my expectations! myglaren, Dyslexic Viking and Tenmil Socket 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the 70s my parents were getting an extension built and had chosen a local cowboy builder.

On returning , as he stopped outside our house, the entire floor fell out onto the road. It kind of spoils the Italian job for me as I can’t help watching it thinking “ you’d never be able to put that weight in a Mini.” RoverFolkUs, Datsuncog, AnnoyingPentium and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulplom Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 60 miles done on the beast. Van's in getting the fuel pump fitted and I had to go to Morpeth to collect the tickets for our day at races next Saturday. 63 miles used 2.02 litres of petrol. That's decent mpgs.

wuvvum Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Just been out for a rather enjoyable bike ride - I went a different way to my normal routes, down some deserted single track roads, through some woods listening to the birds' evening chorus, then out into fields one of which had a deer wandering across it (proper deer too, not one of those silly little muntjac things). It cut diagonally across the field towards the road I was on, stopped when it reached the edge of the road - I stopped as well to see what it'd do. It stared at me for a minute and then must have decided I wasn't an imminent threat as it took a few steps back into the field to get a run up, clattered across the road about 20 yards in front of me and leapt over the 5' hedge on the other side and off across the fields. Amazing to see so close up and outside the confines of a car. Wild flowers were lovely too, although the pollen count must be through the roof as my eyes were itchy AF by the time I got home.

robinmasters Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Such a nice design. I've always thought I preferred the S1's more angular front, but this has really grown on me. Oh, and also the fact that I'm photographing my car at 3am, because of course I am. privatewire, LightBulbFun, AnnoyingPentium and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
