Shitting in the shallow end. *A2 fixes*

[Kiltox]

Yeah, I'd never seem one in real life so thought it was worth mentioning. A useless french feature that never caught on.

It did catch on - most of the vehicles I own have an oil level indicator, it’s just a digital gauge now.

 

Good luck with the collection!!!

[Jim Bell]

Sun's out, buns out.

 

Pooooower up!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thaaaaaats the stuff.

 

[Jim Bell]

Probably best familiarise myself with the train safety signage.

 

 

Ok.

 

 

Got it.

[Jim Bell]

Looks like most of the storm is past us now and it's looking like it might be a bright day.

Your on train entertainment today is provided by Electric Wizard.

 

We understand you have a choice when nominating your Sludge/Doom/Stoner metal band to drown out the noise in the quiet carriage and we thank you for cranking up the filth.

I find the 'escape through windows' sign disproportionately funny...

[aldo135]

How fucking creepy is the "safe space" sign?!!! Just say no Jim!

 

Good luck with the collection

Bit backwards round here like.

[Ohdearme]

All the switch gear engages with a satisfactory clonk. It's all big sturdy stuff.

Odd that they included a button for ‘halp, im in rowing boat and about to crash into a buoy’.

 

Wonder what it does?

Pubeluck transport is up and chugging so let us begin.

I think the seats are the clear highlight of this automobile. Please brighten our days with a picture of them.

Winning!

 

I'll have 59 randoms whenever you want to sell.

[paulscavalier]

That’s a nice example

Actually it's ginger beer because wine gives me a softener.

During this collection trip the poo count was very much like the gear changes on the way home. 1st to 4th happened a bit fast and hectic, but once I got to forth I felt comfortable and settled down. I did try and find reverse at one point as there was no toilet paper on the Cross Country train. Not easy to do in a panic.

 

 

[purplebargeken]

How nice. I once had a blue one of those you know.

[Jim Bell]

So it's a less than one litre Citroen AX originally from late last century, but more recently it was from eBay.

 

Seller mentioned new oil,oil filter, fuel filter,air filter,spark plugs,HT leads,ignition coil,windscreen wiper and replaced the Cam belt, the rear brakes.

 

From what I could see, that all seemed probable. No receipts or history though.

 

Oil looks brand new to me.

 

 

 

 

Had a chat to the seller. A nice lad who's had 15 AX'S and he showed me round the car ,(I also pointed him toward Autoshite and asked him if he thought that Cavcraft should step down. He said no.)

 

 

He's welded behind the headlights (TARTS).

And fitted VAUXHALL ASTRA sound deadening to add a bit of quiet.

4 speeds in 1995, miserable!

Your driving position looks quite cosy.

[Jim Bell]

There doesn't seem to be any other rust, but I may be looking in incorrect places.

 

It's got a few dents, a few scratches but seems pretty straight.
