What's likely to go wrong with an older car?

Rich: Does no one ever you call you Ricky (bet you've not heard that before 
)
If you need any part time, cash in hand (don't tell the tax man), Java development done for your business - I'm your man! Sun Certified no less. I'm trying to run a Chimera, and just bought a house which is a renovation job. Need to find some cash!!!!

Good stuff rich – we do a little bit of the ol' web stuff too except we do magazines mainly. I'm often to be found at Hampton at Tescos filling the (massive) boot of the Chim with the wife's pickings.
Rob, yes it's the LivingHell! Tell me more about where you work – I work in Glinton, all of two mintes away – if at anytime you want to see the Chim up close and have a chat then let me know – email in profile – same goes for you rich.
Peterborough 3 – Basingstoke A lot more than 3
We're on the map!
I know Bretton well, as used to live in the north bit opposite Molins (as was)

Werrington....Peakirki...
Oh, it is isn't it.

(Glad to be in Surrey MikeyT)
Jeremy, it's actually Peakirk (I typed in the erroneous i because I was frothing at the mouth that there were Pistonheaders in Peterborough!)
Peakirk is quite genteel – you gotta go out further east – as Marshy says, there's dragons out there.
We can't compete with your Dorkings and Leatherheads I'm afraid but then again you're all Reginald Iolanthe Perrins the lot of ya
Eleven minutes late Mrs jeremyc – Cerbie puncture at East Horsley

Rich, Rob, Mike - I normally go back up to Deeping to visit family every month, so keep an eye out for a starmist blue Chimaera with N** TVR plates on it.
They must be v thin on the ground because I've yet to see one north of Huntingdon.
It really loves the 4 lane stretch of the A1(M) from Huntingdon to P'Boro if you know what I mean........

As Mike knows, I'm not a million miles away from Peterborough myself. Actually, at the moment that's a bit of a lie as I am in South America. But when I get home, late July, you're most welcome to drop by and have a look at a really old (and slightly rough) one. Mine is a K reg.
It's currently dead though. I have been away for five weeks and have two more to go. The wife was left with specific instructions to start it every weekend and run it for at least 25-30 miles (suitable routes were suggested). I HATE leaving any car unmoved for a long period of time.
Anyway, two weekends go by and she rings to say she tried to start it and it wouldn't work and then she started to cry. Sounds as if the battery is flat again, so she obviously failed to follow the 250 point checklist she was given and left the radio/courtesy light/lights/indicator/ etc. on before she got out of it.
Something to look forward to when I get home (removing the battery AGAIN - not beating the wife....)

James, are you up for coming to PH4 – early in September I think, let's give 'em a blast up to Clumber Park which is Nottingham way (ish).
