First Collection Thread

[stereotype]

Setting off soon, welcome to my first collection thread. Bailey the GSR has been elected as vehicle of choice as father Tickman is taxi driver and because there's a trusty Halfords advanced in the boot that might be needed.

 

I've seen a handful of pictures of the vehicle in question, never been to see it before. Kind of already bought it. Oops.

 

Being collected not from the owner, we'll see what turns up!

Chodspeed!

[shedenvy]

My goodness, what spensive cornflakes you have!

I think with every car i've ever bought, i've already mentally bought it before even turning up.

Good luck, we're all counting on you.

[The Moog]

Starts with a breakfast shot - very healthy - very different the traditional fags and coffee approach.

 

 

Good luck!

Not when purchased from Home Bargains they are not.

 

 

A rendezvous point has been arranged and a confirmation of time is awaited but should be all over by midday.

a shiney reliable la francais vehicle

I'm quite envious of a passenger ride in a well piloted Bailey. Good car.

 

That spoon will cool your tea too quickly though, unless you're in a rush.

[Rocket88]

Posh bowl an' all

[pshome]

it wouldn't happen to be an Austin Maxi diesel?

1st car: french. 2nd car: french. 3rd car: french. 4th car: would I really do myself that dirty? It's definitely not shiny and reliability remains to be seen!

I somehow still burnt my tongue, guess i'm just really enthusiastic about tea!

Need to find a good pilot!

[Kringle]

Long spoons are looooonnnnggg.

[Lacquer Peel]

Does it have to be reliable when it's so green inside?

[loserone]

Is the green moss?

[stereotype]

Is the green moss?

Let you know when I've see it in person!

Bailey, being poorly piloted but expertly co-driver, not yesterday:

 

[loserone]

And another, probably more boring

 

[stereotype]

We have arrived. Stupid sights on the journey included a stupid metal bird statue and a jaguar driver who needs to try day one of driving lessons again

Well reminded...

[Tickman]

Massive thanks to Lacquer Peel for being no only available but getting it nearer to us.

[UltraWomble]

Its a sinker!

[mk2_craig]

Well bought!! Haven't seen one with badgeless grille for years now.

[Tickman]

A very brief look over the car and the priority of jobs are:

Handbrake. This I think should be number one on the list.

Drivers door handle. If this worked it would make a massive difference.

The handle has been replaced because the old one had a piece broken which held the rod. The rod is in place on the new one but it doesn't open the door.

There are two more rods loose in the car that we need to identify, one I'm sure is for the lock button but the other I don't know.

 

The rod for the key lock wasn't attached. I put this back on and that works.

I can't find a picture of what it should look like so far so if anyone has one please post it up. I know there are a few serial Citroen lickers that may point us in the right direction.

[320touring]

Holy fuck!

 

I saw that it had been sold, but was unaware it was going to a cool owner!

 

We can have a Citroen Olympics with the GSA:)

 

Enjoy!

[Jim Bell]

Nice.

 

That is all.

[Lacquer Peel]

 

 

Let's off road!

 

It was no bother dropping it off in Perth, plus I got to drive it a bit more.

My niece and nephew are happy with the sweeties.

 

I think it could do with a set of new spheres and the the height correctors lubricated. The HP Citroen ride isn't fully there and it's sitting high as your dad noticed.
