I had a look through the history which came with the Peugeot last night. The book is stamped up to 1998 by the dealer which sold the car, which was Bridge Motors (Bocking) near Braintree. I looked them up but they dissolved the business in 2018, I'd have loved to have contacted them letting them kno...

Spent the last couple of hours fannying around with the Saab exhaust. The centre pipe was rotted through where it joined the old, also rotten, back box. The chin stroking and head scratching was in order to find the best way of doing things. As the centre pipe came from Neo Bros as two halves with a...

My missus had a 1989 GR as a company car and in a lot of ways it was better than my Mk2 Golf GTi. She's not a car person but still says that she misses it at times. I've suggested buying one but she reckons that we have enough cars and is happy with her Citigo. Oh they are cracking little cars to d...

In other fleet news the Kia provides good daily transport for the stepdaughter, it’s looking a little tatty though and I am on the lookout for a new driver’s side front wing and a pair of rear doors in flat black. The C2 has started to pick up a few electrical niggles, by saying a lamp has failed on...

Those of you who read the beige will more than likely be aware I bought this last week. IMG_4637.jpeg IMG_4638.jpeg IMG_4640.jpeg It’s a 1360cc suitcase powered one, barrels along very nicely at motorway speeds and aside from a grumbly wheel bearing drives very well. It’s by no means mint but the mi...

Trying to find the source of water ingress on stepdaughter’s boyfriend’s 9-3 has been puzzling us. The boot interior is absolutely soaked, not helped by the recent shitty weather. Think it’s been the wettest winter since time immemorial. The radio aerial was bust and not fully retracting. Yesterday ...

If they were in good shape before you started to mash them up, you weren't doing it with one of these

Mangled before I got my mitts on them.

I’ve also sealed* the Kia’s windows up with some black silicone. Wind noise greatly reduced although there may still be a tiny water ingress in there somewhere. Job for anothe day, I may just get a new pair of rear doors with decent seals, or see what universal seal would suffice. Need to get some g...
