AVAS collection thread - Cavalier MOT fail

[Agila]

If this is Falkirk, it isn't the car I'm thinking of, I'm going to end up looking a proper sausage with my shite cryptic clues.

[gm]

Falkirk is where LP lives so he could be heading anywhere  

[Lacquer Peel]

[Cavcraft]

Hmm, red herring as didn't you say petrol engined?

 

Next guess is a Mk1 Zafira with the X16XE engine.

[scorchio69]

I am a Falkirk man but been living in aberdoom for the last twelve years so thought I recognised the station ............... that makes me sound like a real saddo

Meat products - ethnic meat products - have been delivered!

Oh, so it's THAT Vauxhall.

 

Well bought, Len.

[Supernaut]

I guess he liked driving Jim Bell's Cavalier so much he wanted one of his own.

Mk3 Astra?  They're definitely in the not-shit Vauxhall category.

Pfft.

I'm not really sure i like your cavalier attitude to breakfast, you've really scrimped on the cheese and I can't find strong enough words for the pickle distribution. 😉

Good luck with the collection though. Chod speed.

The lack of updates and clues are making this dog look sad.

Look at it, look how sad it looks.

Could be Larger 5 or 4 door, hopefully not a 7 seater.  Possibly got a Juicy Big Motor?

Always a good collection whether by car or train. 

Hope it goes well.

 

 

At least I'm not going crazy just yet.

Cryptic/shite clues.

1. Used the word cavalier.

2. Picture of King Charles cavalier dog.

3. Spelled the reg out L547JBM and location of wetherby.

As Sir David Frost would’ve said "the clues were there"

[Jim Bell]

@Lacquer Peel is still traveling but I'm just home. I gave LP a lift from Newcastle down to @M'coli to pic up the Pez cav. 

 

On the rode. 

 

 

Stopped to TOILET and to punch the headlight to get it back on again on my Cav. 

 

 

[Jim Bell]

What's better than a MK3 cav?

A: a pair of MK3 Cavs. 

Bag of meat delivery^

If you got their little doodahs to touch we might have been gifted with a litter of tiny cavaliers in a few months. 

Btw, that is the correct colour. NICE.

[Jim Bell]

 

 

 

 

 

Pez shot. Only spilled a small amount upon the ground.  

 

 

A pair in the wild. 

 

Lovely. 

 

The the RoffleCav is CHOCK FULL of spares, and extra wheels, but I  welcomed @Lacquer Peel to the Cavalier gang by awarding him some extra traditional scottish entertainment for the ride home. 

 

 

And a colour coded pin for adjusting the screen washer jets (no car should be without one. I always stick one in the sun visor for the next owner on my cars)

 

 

 

 

Cheers to @Lacquer Peel for an opportunity to get out the house and up the road for a drive, and @M'coli for the bants. 

Roffles make the world go round and lead to nice days out with nice people.  

 

/THREAD JACK ENDS. 

 

[M'coli]

It was a pleasure to meet both yourself, @Jim Bell, and @Lacquer Peel.

[Agila]

Great thread.

Lovely things these. Safe journey home.

Thanks for the entertainment.

[320touring]

Great:) glad the care package made it to @M'coli

@Lacquer Peelsafe travels!

[Jim Bell]

One last pic.

 

Fantastic arse end.

I’ve spent the last 2 years wondering what the pin was stuck in my sun visor, and now I know. Plus it would have saved the routine scrabbling round about once a month to find something to sort the drivers side jet if I’d realised sooner. 

Thanks, I genuinely feel like a little tiny piece of the great puzzle of life has slotted into place!! 

[M'coli]

Finally, wur Tea. The dishwasher isn't full so we're onto the charity shop/camping crockery.

For a vegan, @Lacquer Peel has chosen a superb butcher to buy my stuff from, it's all superb and not too fat-laden. Thank you!

[Lacquer Peel]

Cavs, a great bunch of lads. It was great to meet @M'coli and thanks for the help today @Jim Bell

The Cavalier drives well, it's a bit flustered and hesitant at low speeds - dunno much about petrols and less about SPI setups (only that they're mildly cursed), but it sits at an indicated 90 on the test track happily.

The Cav feels much younger than a 27 year old car with 206k on the clock should, handles and rides decently and coped admirably with horrendous weather on the way back. It feels really well sorted and I hope it passes the MOT booked for next week at central Scotland shiter favourite Wardpark MOT centre.

There's some good folk somewhere in Pistonheads, you just have to dig through a fucking mountain of complete wallopers to find them. Welcome along to this place, mostly walloper free!

[stuboy]

love cavaliers...
