The Dark Wob

I thought there was some rule about having government approved fixings for number plates in France? I only mention it because I am jealous of that Buick obvs

There is. Plates must be riveted on.

Not a lot of news with the Buick. It's been doing what a car should do, no tails of doom or trips on recovery trucks.
Aside from weekend jollies and pub transport duties, I put it to work today collecting fire wood.
Again, no problems, in fact I'll be using it for all trailer duties from now on, it's so much easier reversing a trailer in a saloon car when you can actually see the trailer.

I rather like it. I mean it's naff but in a cool way !

That roof is mental, I'm assuming it's not a convertible even though it really looks like one?!

A winning combination. And nice dog.

The roof is indeed a fake. As are the wire wheels, leather and wood

My Buick's still working.
I'm less surprised by this fact as time goes on.
A few minor events have happened.
I've fixed* the power windows so they go up and down quicker. One day I'll re gas the aircon... Last week my gate post decided to move and got in the way of the bumper. I'm getting this straightened out, at the same time the boot lid and a few other minor blemishes are getting new paint.

I picked the buick up from repairs today.
The bumpers not as straight as it could be but it looks loads better. Fresh paint on boot lid too.
I Need to clean off some excess polish and that bumper sticker. That'll wait until tomorrow, today I've been cruising about on essential* errons. Also bought a C6 today.
The citroen not the corvette.

My Buick is being very boring and continuing to be reliable.
A mini road trip today up to a beach race. I must fix the fuel gauge ,50 euros should not fill the tank. Usual busy Sunday traffic. Todays event

Excellent, thanks for posting these, that looked like a bloody good day out. Berliet is awesome with that fantastic steering column, as are those tail fins. Cadillac may have won the height/length race in 1959 but that '60 Fury tops it for sheer pointy pointlessness. They were completely axed for the '61 cars after this peak.

I miss the ambience of a late 70s Yank interior, too....
