yes oui si Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 One thing I loved about my Metro was the ability to be able to touch any of the windows, or even to reach into the boot if needed from the driver's seat. You don't sit in cars like that, you wear them. Jim Bell, HillmanImp, RobT and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bell Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 Hey I've got gallopros on my transporter, they're not bad at all!I was really impressed with how the Mini gripped on "Mohawk"s.

Shirley Knott Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 This is all very exciting but I must admit it's getting difficult to keep up with, it's like some kind of white knuckle chod-centric rollercoaster ride.

You're still quite new man. We had about 2 straight years of this kind of pinball idiocy, but then I went bankrupt and had to go in a special home.

Timewaster Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 And check this out. Never seen a oil level check gauge in real life before. https://youtu.be/fs3IITa045UYou need more French! Best one was when my old boss had a new CX.He picked it up, turned on the ignition, saw the oil level gauge, thought it was good.... Got a mile down the road, saw the level gauge reading very low. Thought this was very bad. No mobile or anything (1990) so stopped the car and walked back to the dealer to complain and insist they recover it.... Felt very sheepish when the salesman explained how the gauge works. At least they gave him a lift back to his car. That wasn't the last time that CX gave him a long walk! w00dy, Jim Bell and dome 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bell Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 The SLK? No, that's not for sale at the moment. It's too cool to let go of. It might end up being the longest serving fleet member if it carries on being absolutely no bother.

I'd driven a little way in my then newly-purchased Espace Quadra when I realised there was an un-labeled gauge reading zero. Spent the rest of the trip with the missus deciding what the gauge ought to be for: minutes until next failure, street-cred, kill count (the Shipman-meter), % of air not CO. Hours* of fun. meshking, Jim Bell, aldo135 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
