Re: Squire's voitures
All my cars have only ever been more reliable with regular use, even the ones which deteriorated during my ownership... Which is all of them. I stand by the concept that if one has the money to run a modern car on finance they have the money to run a pair of old (pre-1990) cars as daily runners and ...

Re: Rusty Triumphs in Scotland
Good to see you here Cap. Some top class choddage you do. I'm surprised you don't use the A74 more often - a lovely often deserted road. If I'm leaving Glasgow I'm usually trying to arrive at the destination as quickly as possible due to tight scheduling so most of my miles is motorway work. A sham...

Re: Rusty Triumphs in Scotland
Fleet update as 11/04/19: Dolomite 1300 - Sitting outside my flat looking sorry for itself. Still don't have an engine to put in it, without an engine I can't move it anywhere to do the welding work. Thus the project is in limbo. Seems to have spring a random leak while sitting, which is nice... Dol...

Re: Rusty Triumphs in Scotland
picking up where I left off. Moved to Glasgow, brought the Doloshite down south as well, left the 1850 up north. At this point (late 2017) the Civic was starting to have issues, the PAS was getting touchy, all the tyres were running out of life, there was a fair amount of rust on the underside and m...

Re: Rusty Triumphs in Scotland
car No.2 Purchased exactly one year after the purchase of the Dolly 1300. A '76 1850HL I spotted on Gumtree, a mile away from my place of work, MOT'd, £850. Bloke was selling as he'd just bought a Rover P6 3500. https://i.imgur.com/YrwGtl7.jpg Car was viewed and seemed decent enough, most importantl...

Rusty Triumphs in Scotland
Many years ago I bought a 1977 Triumph Dolomite 1300 as my second car, and it was shite. https://i.imgur.com/OqCZStY.jpg To say it broke down frequently would be unfair, it rarely started in the first place and spent much of it's early time in my ownership stuck in my parent's garage. The engine kno...
