rob88h Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 You've gained a new follower! Came for the Focus but stayed for the Citroen. I'm looking forward to watching the story unfold. Eyersey1234 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorRetro Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 You need to name the CX "Thierry", then you will have Thierry Henry. ? Eyersey1234 and Tenmil Socket 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyersey1234 Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 Plan at the moment for Eccles the CX is collection will be either late next week or some point the week after, I might price up getting it transported up here then get my friendly local garage to put it through an MOT. Depending on the result of the MOT determines what happens after that. Dan302, Mrs6C, Flat4 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyersey1234 Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share Posted June 19, 2020 I have offered @Stinkwheel first refusal of the CX partly due to management still complaining and having given it some thought I'm not sure I will be able to give it the attention it deserves either.

Eyersey1234 Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share Posted June 19, 2020 Stinkwheel has declined the CX, if anyone else wants it PM me, if not I will arrange transport for it up here and look for somewhere to store it while I decide what to do with it.

Eyersey1234 Posted June 21, 2020 Author Share Posted June 21, 2020 A couple of good runs for Henry coming up, Beeston Castle in a week's time then Witley Court the following Saturday, the two trips will put over 500 miles on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyersey1234 Posted June 22, 2020 Author Share Posted June 22, 2020 Treated Henry to some new car mats recently to replace the fucked ones that were in him, finally got round to fitting them today. Dan302 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyersey1234 Posted June 23, 2020 Author Share Posted June 23, 2020 Henry's MOT extension now showing up, as I say it's getting done Friday though. Dan302, DoctorRetro and LightBulbFun 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyersey1234 Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 Henry dropped off at the garage, I don't anticipate any problems with the MOT but you never know especially with an older car. There's about 1000 miles worth of trips planned for the next week so he might reach the 200k milestone by the end of next month.

Eyersey1234 Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 Advisory on 3 tyres plus the EML, which to be fair I knew a couple of the tyres would need replacing soon and the EML. Not a bad showing for a 13 year old car with nearly 200k on the clock. LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyersey1234 Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 Henry enjoyed his run out yesterday, just short of 260 miles covered. Plan is to go to Framlingham on Wednesday then next Saturday to Witley Court, stay overnight in Ironbridge then Goodrich Castle on Sunday.

Eyersey1234 Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share Posted June 30, 2020 Framlingham trip put back to the end of next month so I can make a mini weekend of it, hopefully I'll get quite a few photos of the area for my site. LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyersey1234 Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 Heading back from a nice short break. Henry seems to enjoy twisty A and B roads more than motorways. Edited to add the twisty B roads from Ironbridge to the A49 were great fun to drive down. LightBulbFun and Dan302 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyersey1234 Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 465.2 miles in 2 days, not the most Henry and I have done but still been a nice run. Fast approaching the 200k club. LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyersey1234 Posted July 10, 2020 Author Share Posted July 10, 2020 Another long trip for Henry planned, my OH and I are off to Ironbridge in late September for a weekend. LightBulbFun and Dan302 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyersey1234 Posted July 11, 2020 Author Share Posted July 11, 2020 Found out a bit about Mk2 Focus trim levels earlier, will write it up properly later but it turns out Zetec Climate isn't the same as Zetec, the difference is apparently the Climate adds a heated front windscreen, which I knew Henry has but hadn't realised it wasn't standard on all Zetecs.

Eyersey1234 Posted July 11, 2020 Author Share Posted July 11, 2020 This is what I found out earlier on about Mk2 trim levels. - Studio ( Radio Cassette, Cloth trim, ABS, PAS, Electric front Windows, Driver and Passenger airbags) - LX/Style (Studio minus radio cassette plus CD player, air con, central locking) - Sport (LX plus alloys, front fogs and leather steering wheel) - Zetec (Sport plus sports suspension, sports seats, body bits, trip computer, perimeter alarm) - Zetec Climate (Zetec plus heated windscreen) - Ghia (Sport plus cruise control, thatcham alarm, lumbar support, velour seats, auto lights/wipers, auto-dimming rear view mirror, vanity mirrors, front and rear armrests, and more storage) - Titanium (Ghia minus cruise control, plus part leather sports seats, Sony stereo) There was also the ST as well.
