AnnoyingPentium Posted October 11, 2025 Posted October 11, 2025 <Troy McClure> Hi there, my name is @AnnoyingPentium and you might remember me from such collection threads such as 'Adventures in Repmobile', and 'That'll Be The Daewoo' </Troy McClure> As is probably known, I like a bargain, and this one was cheaper than the mobile phone I'm writing this on, BY QUITE SOME MARGIN. Therefore, an early start it is. (Also thanks to @reb for the thread title) Breakfast is one of Aldi's finest* porridge pots that in no way resembles the ingredients advertised on the tub. Dog isn't awake yet, so he's not coming with me. He's MotherPentium's problem today. Trains are booked since my chosen lift's vehicle of choice decided to have HGF for the third time. If I play my cards right I can wangle a sale of this motor before I'm home with it. If not, then the mate I've went halfers with on it, is keen to buy me out once he's back from America, eventually. ^ breakfast. PC? One.

grogee Posted October 11, 2025 Posted October 11, 2025 10/10 for CTI (Collection Thread Intro). And safe travels. So it's a Daewoo then? Bloody love an old, defunct and disgraced brand. May your poppet valves retain compression, and your parking space remain unsullied. AnnoyingPentium 1

I remember blocking up the Austin 1300 rad with some foil covered cardboard back in the day I'm not sure if it's just a placebo, but I think it's warming up quicker. In the winter it makes a wee bit of a difference, if only because the heater is piss poor 90% of the time so the quicker I can have the asthmatic blower firing out sort of warm air the better to defrost the ice inside the windscreen. privatewire and UltraWomble 2
