Good afternoon all.

Post by Supercover »

As requested, I am making my post to prove I am not a bot, or something like that.
I have an interest in old British stuff, especially Jaguars and Land Rovers, and anything BL- MGR.
My garage contains a very multicoloured DS420 that made it to Le Mans and back this year, entirely under its own steam. Much to the amazement of all.

I scored very low on the autie test. I’m cheerful, happy, confident, like meeting new people, chatty and largely sociable. What the fuck am I doing on this forum?

A before, during and after set from the trip.

16mpg, just over a thousand miles, and the only issues were two of the at least 30 year old tyres deformed on the way. I should have changed them before, but time and money just ran out. A nice tyre man fitted a set of commercial 215 70 15s and all was well. Not bad to say I had the front subframe on the floor two days before departure after 18 months of solid work welding and rebuilding.
