Run out model - lift out roof panel.

Yaaaay! I have binned the horrid and shiny radio and replaced it with a posh looking Blaupunkt.

[Yertis]

I thought you were flogging it?

[anonymous-user]

I will keep this one unless someone makes me a silly offer for it.

[anonymous-user]

Which cars are you keeping BV? I've lost track of what's gone or going.

Good luck with the sale.

[anonymous-user]

I am selling all of my cars and bikes, because (good) reasons.

[gforceg]

Good to hear. Hopefully you wan't be leaving this (PH) parish.

Cycle clips for your birthday?

Another person who rarely posts but greatly enjoys your contribution. For those of us who have to justify our obsession (often to ourselves) it is refreshing to hear about your automotive escapades and the lengths that you are willing to go to drive around daily in vehicles most of us relegate to the garage and tinker with.
I for one hope we havent heard the last of your adventures and look forward to the next instalment.

Regards

I may keep the Lotus although that would require storing it somewhere.

This weekend I drove it 500 miles without a blip.

Sent you a suggestion, so affordable it encourages collecting!

Arrrrgh - the driver's door feels like it is falling off. It was fine until yesterday, but today something had popped out. The door sags, and is out at the front edge. Visually the nuts and hinges etc look the same as on the passenger side, which isn't broken, so I can't see the bit that has gone wrong. Anyone ever fixed such a thing?

By the way, look what else happened today -

[Astacus]

You managed to get both headlights up at once?

and then they both went down too!

[Fastpedeller]

They didn't let you through the security gate?

Other than a shiny new sign, it hasn’t changed since I left in October 1995....
