Only on his pitch though. Think the mileage would put people off unless it's cheap

Re: V50 Shenanigans

I would just get it gone. Losing a few hundred quid is nothing like the anguish you will feel trying to trace all the faults then dealing with twats when you try to sell it.

Re: Rusty Triumphs in Scotland

Honda Japan won't have jack. The concept of car preservation doesn't really exist on a big scale in Japan, NOS parts are hen's teeth, they import their bits back from the USA and Aus! Not sure if the bushes are identical to the Mk2 Civic hatch or if the saloon has different suspension... I had the ...

Re: Rusty Triumphs in Scotland

My Acclaim failed it's test on rot on the rear inner sill last year. Only had a week to get it ready for the BL show at Gaydon, left it late as usual. Anyway, to do a proper job I had to take the suspension arm off. It gave quite a fight, the captive nut came loose and I had to destroy the bush to g...

Re: What did you do today?

Washed the car. It's needed doing for a while but, I had a serious case of the 'couldn't be arseds' due to the weather and then its disasterous visit to the garage on Monday. It was not only dirty but covered in little rusty specs all over the bonnet and front bumper/grill. So somebody has been gri...
