The Doctor's travels through time - The End - of chapter 1

[DoctorRetro]

No, bigger tank in this. 34 quid to fill it the other day, from just above the red. 

Oh, and I've done nearly 100 miles since full. 

[HH-R]

Did you get sorted with a CD player player player player player?

[ETCHY]

Lovely little car.

I was in Malta recently & saw quite a few of these, they really are a cool shape.

The pic of it near that modern Maserati barge is very telling, shows how ridiculously bloated a lot of modern cars are.

Not yet, apparently one is on its way...

I bet there isn't that much more room in the Maserati either.

Let me know if not, i have the JVC one out of my old car going spare. Or if anyone else wants it for postage drop me a PM.

It would look nice with 13 inch steelies with chrome hubcaps, picture of my Cuore with Golf mk1 alloys,165/65 13inch., 

Kelisa is the same car, but with different front end,rear suspension is not the same.

[DoctorRetro]

Well that's the dodgy tyre situation sorted. 

 

 

 

 

Looks a bit over-wheeled, can you believe they are only 14s? ? 

As a plus point, the speedo is now more accurate! 

[320touring]

Making tremendous progress with this, it's come on a fair bit since you got it:)

[DoctorRetro]

Outside the Launderette ?

[Bwrlwm]

It,s natural habitat

[DoctorRetro]

Ironic as it looks like someone has shrunk a K11 Micra... 

[SRi05]

Coming along nicely this wee thing, I'd actually like a shot to see how ridiculous I'd look in it

That's pretty much how I look driving it..

Jean's, Eastwood Road. 

[Bwrlwm]

Support the Launderettes ,we are getting rarer by the day.

[mitsisigma01]

I use my own mobile laundrette 

[paulplom]

Those wheels suit it. Do they rub at all?

[DoctorRetro]

On full lock, frontt tyre just catches the inner arch. 

Rears did slightly touch the bumper - for a couple of miles ?

Has to have spacers on the rears to clear the rear suspension arms. 

Would have been fine with smaller tyres. 

[DoctorRetro]

Washing machine ordered. 

Why is this relevant you ask? 

Because I'm collecting it in the Kelisa. Pictures to follow this afternoon! 

 

[Ben_O]

So what are the wheels off of or did I miss that?

[mitsisigma01]

If it was scraping when empty, it will probably be worse with a chunk of AWM in the back...

Haven't a clue. Were lying around someone's yard so I was given them for free. 2 tyres are enduros and 2 are Landsails. 

185/65/14s

Quite small offset so modern and FWD, maybe Primera?

Oddly enough, due to the bumper shape, it will probably scrape less. 

[mitsisigma01]

Leave it in there permanently, a bag or two of cement in the boot of a Capri used to help with cornering but a washing machine in a Perodua.... ?

[DoctorRetro]

Nothing to report, quite uneventful really, apart from the look on the Curry's staff's faces when they saw the vehicle they were going to be loading into

 

 

[Fumbler]

My parents' Micra was once used to move one of those massive Bisley filing cabinets. I think it garnered the same reaction from passers-by!

Rubbing

Not rubbing

[paulplom]

Dremmel required. My V70 had bits of carpet glued to the inner wings (factory fit) as they were expected to rub. The turning circle was still total dog shit.
