Old cars, good soundtrack, no bollocks being spouted and not a beard being stroked anywhere in sight.

Nope nothing like Hubnut...

'like'
I prefer to be behind the camera, I'm sure nobody wants to hear me spraff shit about old cars (if they could actually understand my accent) so I like to just make videos with music in them either recorded by myself or using copyright material from other bands etc

The 305 started dying when I was out in it last week, initially I thought it was running out of fuel but when I filled it up it still wouldn't idle unless the choke was engaged.
I whipped the carb off to find the base gasket was soaked so ordered a new one and fitted it over the weekend.
Thankfully it was a simple fix. Image

I won a Yaris on the Beige for £20 then swapped it for 900 on the way home.

It's a 2.0 na auto on around 77k miles, mot ran out a couple of days ago but it drives absolutely fine so can't see it needing much if anything for a test. I really do like it so have no immediate plans to sell it.

I saw a 2-door Saab of this generation on the motorway recently. A unique design. This is a real nice looking car.

Gotta love that bonnet action, too....I was a forecourt monkey after I left school and the only oil check I liked to perform better than a Saab was a coach-built Silver Cloud that used to come in.
