yes oui si Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 And my best mate and I were kicked out of a Lostprophets gig at Trillians in Newcastle for being underage. I count that one as a bullet dodged. Tickman, Rave, Stanky and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulplom Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 If you do take the plunge I used these guys for a custom remap and rolling road session on my van. https://cartorquenortheast.co.uk/ Based in Forrest Hall. A very helpful group. It was only £225 iirc and they did it on a Saturday morning. They give you a before and after printout as well.

Fabergé Greggs Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Orange doblo looking mighty fine. I once saw what was under those covers about 15 years ago and they were well tasty, but I can’t remember what they are now. It was a little 60’s Alfa or 60’s lotus elite or something but I haven’t seen them moved since. Anyway, clearly a winner.

Jim Bell Posted January 15, 2020 Author Share Posted January 15, 2020 Well. Car continues to car. It's been treated to kindness by way of a fluids and filters service, a spare key, and premium brand wiper blades. Boring. Though I do take rather too great a pleasure in seeing the wipers sweep clearly and silently across the screen after the juddery smeary old ones were removed and replaced. Cheap thrills. Parked it next to this other one which was sad because it's sat still as an advertisement hoarding. Filled it up for the second time, the 1st tank calculations were lost when the battery was disconnected to do the egr. It's averaging 55 ish mpg local toddling. Be interesting what's possible mpg wise on the run to Scotoshite. Doing my man maths, I now have invested into the car (including purchase) in excess of its market value. So I'd best keep it. It does car very well but is indescribably non-remarkable. They're good cars and up there with Yaris's for OMGBORINGCAR. bangernomics, dome, Barry Cade and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broadsword Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Good to see the Panda going strong. It seems completely* sorted and no obvious reason for it to give trouble for a while, quite a good result I’d say and worth the investment. You’ll surely reap the savings in running costs pretty rapidly anyways. Jim Bell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bell Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 One neg is a bit of front bumper paint loss caused by the old £5 00 jet wash and wipe, which is a shame because paint wise the car was pretty great. Not worth attempting to improve or repair as it looks like more will fall off at next clean so I'll just stare at it and lament the days gone when the paint was UNPECKABLE.
