Sheffield achieved.

 

Poo count rises to three.

Under way again on rival train.

 

[tooSavvy]

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

.... better etched to glass, mebbies :/

[Jim Bell]

 

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?

[Uncle Jimmy]

Pubeluck transport is up and chugging so let us begin.

[paulscavalier]

[loserone]

Should have been there an hour or so

[Jim Bell]

Just at ferrybridge on the way home.

It's definitely a Citroen AX!

 

Will update when I get home.

No wine no winning

Luckily it's a beautiful burgundy colour

[Schaefft]

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

Glad to hear it.

East Mids Air Ambulance were already reading up on "Narrowboat Incidents"

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.

It's not that bad really. The ratios AND the driving position.

They look like they've come off a 1980s public service bus.

[SRi05]

How I imagine the drive home

[rantingYoof]

Surely the gear ratios allow for 40mph in 1st and 41-68mph in 2nd-4th?

[Jim Bell]

Did that many miles on that many pez. Not bad really.

 

 

 

From the off, and on test drive it drove ok.

 

I paid, put some air in the tyres ,(they were all on 23psi) put some pez in the tank and set off up the road.

 

 

 

 

In the first 50 ish miles of cruising at 60 ish mph the car was misfiring every so often. I dropped a cog (there's not many to choose) and ragged it a bit. Actually at length. This seemed to help and the misfire fucked off and seemed to liberate a bit of horse power. Cruised the rest of the way home at a comfortable 70. The wind buffeted around a bit but it never felt scary or unsafe.

[Fabergé Greggs]

It’s... its... beautiful. TOP BOMBING!

[loserone]

Top work Jim!

 

How are the buckets on the seats? And has the pedal offset got any better since the last one?
