DoctorRetro Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Off on a collection mission tomorrow. Transport is this - could be a bad idea, but will take it in stages. It is going to end up somewhere where it will get fixed, so it's a positive move. Albeit not within my ownership, but that may change again by next year. I will get back to R8 ownership again, I'm sure. Feel free to start your guesses. First clue, I haven't owned one before. drewd, Jim Bell, The Moog and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorRetro Posted September 21, 2019 Author Share Posted September 21, 2019 Breakfast Yes that's a slice of my homemade cake. It was an experimental Victoria sponge with caramel flavour, that hasn't been well received, so I guess I'll end up eating most of it...

Aaaah thought it was literally the Soviet/Eastern European way of coffee... Dump a tea spoon of grounds in and just add hot water to the cup. Drink when the grounds settle down.

taxi paul Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Something Asian. You say reliable so it's got to be. Toyota, nissan ,kia, Hyundai, suzuki or maybe even honda.

Timewaster Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I'm sure it's tea leaves that are meant to predict stuff, but can anyone else see the grim reaper in the coffee foam? Joking BTW. Good luck sir. paulplom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skattrd Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Is the coolant cap slightly loose to stop it over pressurising and popping something? This advice was given to me by the esteemed Mr_Bickle of this Parish … I got home from the arse end of Belgium like this in the Mercedes we don't talk about.

DoctorRetro Posted September 21, 2019 Author Share Posted September 21, 2019 12 miles in. First issue. I'd put the header tank cap on with holes in it, and it has basically thrown almost all the water out of the top. Filled up 2 litres, just giving it a few mins to cool. I've put the unventilated cap back on and backed off the screw on a hose clip to give it somewhere to vent. Wish me luck.
