@BahnstormerTom @petrolveins A slightly safer alternative is bung your fog lights on, they are 55w or LED equivalent so give out a decent light even if it has a red hue…

@tommyztone That’s a whole lot of wedge! Who buys these things and where do they go?? 🤷‍♂️

@BahnstormerTom Mileage is just short of 100k so it seemed a sensible time to do the job. He’s been stored with a solar trickle charger on for about a year inside and has stored incredibly well. Fired up the other day on the button after months of not being exercised. Hope all is well

@classiccarguru1 following your idea of ‘have a go yourself’ I’m pulling the engine out of my S6 V10 to do the timing chains…. What could possibly go wrong! @BahnstormerTom

South Cambs planning are now 19 weeks into their own 8 week process on my application and still making excuses as to why someone internally ‘tampered’ with the application to buy more time! I’ve actually paid for this level of service. 🫵. @ab4scambs @GCSP_Planning @SouthCambs

@CouncillorTumi I have, but still no reasonable answer why 17th May given verbal approval of our plans (after weeks of chasing an answer) to then be told the process is starting again 7 days later. FOI requests now going in. Rubbish.

@tommyztone @BrokenBennett Ah a wonder of the era of diesels that will happily run on heating oil at 70p/ltr…. not that I would of course, that would probably be illegal but should you wish to try it I’m sure it might work, possibly, I never have so wouldn’t know…..

@aohereng Pulling the V10 out of this in the spring for timing chains and other ‘whilst it’s out’ jobs. Absolutely petrified to be fair but he who dares and all that…😬

Got a project you are going to start, finish, progress or think about in 2023 ? Car, Bike, Lorry, Aeroplane, push-bike ? There can be more than 1, post your project pictures. I'll start with my 1958 #MGA roadster.

@defor_dog @BahnstormerTom Great to see one out in the wild. Mine’s tucked up for winter now having a few bits sorted before upsetting ‘stop oil’ protestors in the spring. I think the cost of repairing them means sadly it won’t be long before they all vanish! 🥲

Spotted this in the wild today just outside our village @PaulWoodford84 Probably the first one I’ve really seen in the flesh!

@tommyztone Oh goodness. Fond memories. In the list of ‘cars I made a grand on’ it’s probably the one I most kick myself for not keeping for just a little longer.

Apologies for the angle, pic was taken from a scaffold lift but this old racer lives next door to my customer. Local reg number too so I suspect it’s been owned by the old chap for a fair stretch. If I see him I’ll ask! ⁦⁦@ChodSpot

@Cx25J @SparkyHolloway @Russelljwallis @carandclassic No word of a lie, I was at my local builder’s merchants recently and a chap casually pulled up in a 1987 CX 25 GTi Turbo 2 and lobbed in the timber he required. Just his daily apparently! Was a treat to see out in the wild..

From the bold to the beautiful, sticking with @carandclassic, how does this Citroen XM get you? This was Citroen at its finest! Of course, like any 90s French fancy, it's got some niggles that need sorting out. Even so, what a fantastic machine! #1000CR carandclassic.com/car/C1403740#&…

@EvriParcels Pretty new website, same old dog poo service. 2 days in a row ‘we’ve rescheduled your delivery as you weren’t in’! However, there has been someone here on both occasions, you just haven’t tried to deliver you morons! @Trustpilot

Spotted wafting along on this sunny day. 2.8 Ghia too. Looked like a decently well used example. Not sure why it was on trade plates? @ChodSpot @CrapCCollective
