Re: What did you do today?

Fault finding on the Porsche today.
Just had it running with leads direct to the starter, that's a fucking relief.
Now to find out what the problem is, stopping it start from the key.

Re: What did you do today?

Yeah, he loved it, when it worked.
Next week is fix or fuck off week for it.
Hopefully fix. Worst case, sell to Panhard for £2k and spend a bit on the Octavia VRS and a bit on the 205.

Re: What did you do today?

I bought another 205 STDT. This one has more metal where my other one doesn't. Reasoning being, between the two of them, I may be able have a useable vehicle. My son is really interested in cars now, to the point, anything without a turbo is not worth looking at. Good lad. I have a xantia with a kno...

Re: Two wheels good.

They were £40 a game when I played them.
That was 1996 though, £70 doesn't sound too unreasonable to me.
Expensive? Yes.
So was £50 in 1996.

Re: Two wheels good.

My Cagiva SuperCity was bought for £1700. It'll whip the arse off an RD125 but it's worth nothing compared to one of them. It's faster than my old Mito and my current one, it has a 34mm carb, my Mitos both had 28mm carbs. Has a reduced squish band for more compression and a massive air box. I had 95...

Re: Pug 107 minus mx5 plus Audi A8

I work local enough that I can be back within 15 minutes. It's no problem if I leave for an hour to sort it out.

Obviously, move over to PM for the finer details.

Re: Pug 107 minus mx5 plus Audi A8

That'd buy it as it sits. I'm sick of the sight of it.
As is my Mrs, who was right all along.

If I can't get it going by next weekend, arrange transport and it's yours. Again.

Edit.
Fuck it, arrange transport for after the weekend, it's yours.

Re: Pug 107 minus mx5 plus Audi A8

If it goes off a bump, I'll replace the ignition switch. If it doesn't, it's going on eBay as spares repairs. Worth a bit i...
