Re: Squire's voitures
1000 miles regrease interval seems a bit much, can you fit a one shot type system with a pump in the cab like you would have fitted on older wagons etc, hoses run to each nipple and apply a dollop whenever the handle is squeezed? Some of them are 'supposed' to be done every 500... it's a dirty job ...

Re: Squire's voitures
This is what I will miss about the MO. IMG_5340.JPG The deep, full width parcel shelf, in addition to the glove box, is a boon I believe to be unparalleled in any other car. You can just pop into the shop and put all the stuff on the shelf, where it stays put - bottles of beer, a loaf of bread, tins...

Re: My slightly knackered old cars
You forgot to weld the diff M8!
Good work. That Chevette has a delightful air of gentle decay about it, and is a really well-proportioned design. Must be pretty economical too?

Re: Squire's voitures
Good points. I understand the desire for a Yank, and have a similar desire of my own. That is something that takes SPACE though, of course. EFA Yes, the earlier 50's cars were better made. To understand this, you must realise the car market after the post-war recovery was saturated. One of the ways...

Re: Squire's voitures
The MO is on eBay, since I adjusted the carb its now returning 30 m.p.g. - why do I always do these things right before I sell a car? I will use the Midget over this summer and probably punt it on. That will leave me with 3 cars which I can just about manage. The shite Minor is essentially sound but...

OK. I thought you saw him now and again through Renault business. I will keep my eyes peeled for him in the car park. *FUCK ME* :-o https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1958-Riley-Two-Point-Six/233195138328?_trkparms=aid%3D888007%26algo%3DDISC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140328180637%26meid%3D51f0a88974af432a83e8f...
