Cavcraft Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Managed to get standing rickets for Carter Usms last evah gig. Their presale ones had sold out but thanks to o2 priorities I managed to get 4 downstairs. Very very happy. Lucky bleeder! I didn't get into Carter until a couple of years back, a driver at work has seen them numerous times and said they're class live. I've pretty much worn out both 'You Fat Bastard' CDs in my car now, pretty much play them on continual loop. M'coli 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratdat Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I don't own and probably never will own a Daihatsu Compagno, but I do own an owner's manual as of this week. Never expected to find one in Holland, previous owner didn't know how or where he found it though. Funnily enough, I was looking at some pics from Japan Classic Sunday earlier (I might come over for it this year) and there was a Compagno there... do you know if that's an original Dutch car or imported later?

michiel Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 It was imported later but it had fake plates then so I never found out if it was actually registered here. I think it lives in Switzerland now after being for sale for 15k euro for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mat_the_cat Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Found a handbrake cable for the Stellar on eBay, so avoiding the 3-4 month delivery time on one from Korea It was listed for the later models but I asked the seller for a picture and I'm 99% sure it'll be a straight fitment; even if not I'll be able to modify something to suit. Best bit - only £12 delivered! Banger Kenny and Angrydicky 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conrad D. Conelrad Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 and finally this mileage, ignore the digit: Remembering your photo, I looked at my odometer when I got in the car this morning. I missed it by one day! The trip meter reading 123 was pure coincidence. M'coli 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragger Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Got the XM's cold start issue fixed and the independent asked me if a sidelight lens would be any use to me - you bet, especially as it is the side I need and all for a tenner still in its unopened Citroen box. All fitted and looking lovely! beko1987 and philibusmo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greengartside Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I made a rather throwaway comment before work this morning in Corsaviour's new Corsa thread (Morrissey content) in which I said the car would be 'the first of the gang to die'. Well, bugger me if I put Radio 2 on at work and said song is playing. Marvellous! Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrDuke Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Oh yes, has me in stitches most of the time. I did once request a scene involving Yvette Fielding, Roland from Grange Hill and a Citroen BX, but he didn't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r.welfare Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I bought my brother a Jim`'ll Paint It T shirt for Christmas (Brian Blessed drinking White Lightning while riding a Henry Hoover) which he proceeded to wear to the Ashes Test in Sydney. It was a big hit with the Barmy Army but confused the hell out of the Aussies. mat_the_cat, MrDuke, The Moog and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulgalour Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Commentary win! I'm delighted that I had just enough black wool left to finish the front seat covers for the Princess. I'll get some pictures tomorrow of them in the car. Now just to crochet and sew together about eleventy billion and four squares for the rear seat cover.

JohnDeere Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Smiling about an insurance company. No, really. I've been quite impressed with LV since putting my car on them at much lower premium than Direct Lies. And now have OH's car on a multicar policy. Just called them to add business cover as he needs to use the car to drive to some courses, and they put it on at no charge. Zilch. Not even a £25 "admin fee" for making a change.

cort16 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 No, no I'm done with SHIT cars. My plan is to have a daily, one good old car that drives (hopefully this cortina) and one project one I can weld on and no more buying ropey shit heaps that stress me out and distract me. That 500 quid Lancia saloon I posted on the ebay thread would be perfect for my project one but it's in Bournemouth. It'd probably cost more to to drag it's rusty arse back up here than to buy it plus I live at the sea side so it'd probably just turn to dust the minute it got to my lockup.
