Looks like you’re correct.

If I'm not mistaken that looks like the Crown Inn at Llanfihangel Glyn Myfyr @Six-cylinder? If it is I have drank in that pub a few times as I've got family who stay in the village. 

It absolutely is! It's the next village along the road from mine! I've played a gig in the crown recently!

I had quite a few 440's as company cars when they were new because I worked for a Volvo dealer. This one was a 440 GLi pre cat, quite basic with no power steering. The 1721cc injection pre cat went very well and this was no exception. As G159 TWL was last taxed in 2000 I guess it is long gone.

 

I love this shot! TWL is certainly in better nick than mine.

It was brand new when the photo was taken.

[Twin-Cam]

Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be coming.

I just think it would be a little unwise considering the current climate, so I'll be there in spirit.

Boris has just shut this down, so I guess we'll have to postpone.

Shame, but it was going to happen considering how people were acting during the weekend.

Oh well, another time perhaps.  I was seriously looking forward to going on a drive for a day, even to get out of the house other than work

I never invited that jumped-up failed journo.

[brownnova]

Yep... officially postponed then... Bugger.

Shall we aim for an autumn date instead?

How does the 11th October grab people?

Maybe, we could see when these restrictions are going to be relaxed?  Perhaps make a decision then,  I dunno if it's a bit gloomy but it all seems very far away now

[brownnova]

They’ll be relaxed by then. I’m thinking avoid the height of summer as it gets very busy, and September will have Chumley in it. So October seems good... 

[Flat4]

Sad times but I'm hoping to spend a month in Wales in September. I'm sure I can tag an extra week or 2 on the end

[eifion]

October sounds good to me and I should have the 2CV back by then.

[strangeangel]

I'm up for October as well, we might have a good turn out of A-series CItroens at this rate!

 

[brownnova]

There’s a decent chance that the Yugo might be road worthy by then... that’s the hope anyhow! 

[Sunny Jim]

It's good to have something to look forward to - see you in October.

[Cord Fourteener]

Let's hope that by October the lockdown has been relaxed a bit, and nearer the time we can pick a date.

If there is a relaxation over summer maybe some local shitters or those eager and willing could have a day out in the mean time?

But yes fingers crossed for Mis Hydref/Oktober

I knew that the (later) metro used the diesel engine from the AX but never and that the 218TD and 418TD was from PSA too, but did Austin sell Citroen A series engines from.a minor ? Or Were they gearbox in sump ones ? 

[mat_the_cat]

No, he means the AX...... ;-)

I'm guessing that ( And I say this in a good way ) he is on a spectrum?

I wouldn’t have thought so in fairness. Just that very few people I’ve met have such a high opinion of themselves. He is never wrong about anything.

[richardmorris]
