Angrydicky Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Just setting off on a nice long journey, via slow public transport from the sticks! The vehicle in question is old, British and shonky as hell. Very excited! Stinkwheel, Craig the Princess, wuvvum and 24 others 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angrydicky Posted December 21, 2019 Author Share Posted December 21, 2019 I think this driver is lost! He keeps stopping at junctions and checking a map or his phone or something. We’ve also just done a three point turn in a farm entrance! paulplom, Yoss, fairkens and 13 others 4 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve also just done a three point turn in a farm entrance! We had one of those on my local route recently, luckily there were a couple of passengers onboard who would helpfully yell which way to turn when he came to a junction. Good luck Mr_Dicky looking forward to some ancient slow collecting Angrydicky and The Moog 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angrydicky Posted December 21, 2019 Author Share Posted December 21, 2019 It’s a right laugh to drive! Very loud, the interior is very shonky, some of the lights work when they feel like it. Heater is missing, though as Vek said it doesn’t really seem to get that cold as you get quite a lot of warmth from the engine. Talking of the engine, it’s lovely and sweet with great compression. I got back about an hour ago, no problems at all! Recommended seller A+++ Btw, does anyone have a driver’s seat?

Angrydicky Posted December 21, 2019 Author Share Posted December 21, 2019 The interior is monumentally crap. Still, 130k in a Reliant Robin is very impressive. RoadworkUK, Uncle Jimmy, timolloyd and 13 others 14 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasticvandan Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Nerd alert,the passenger seat is original,which suggests drivers seat has been changed once already!

The drivers seat is quite loose and I suspect one of the springs has broken. Going to pull it out tomorrow and attempt to repair it, but I’d like to find a grey replacement. The original passenger seat and back seats are in perfect condition and surprisingly comfortable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
