  1. Is he not galvenised, or is he too old for that? Car bodies don't tend to rot these days.

    I guess not... 2002, maybe too old? There's rust bubbles on both front wings by the wheels, and both sides at the bottom of the C pillars. The notes / advisories on the service sheet in November said rust underneath the floor and sills. Hopefully just surface, but I'm going through the usual pre-MOT panic phase. I should stick him on axle stands and get underneath with the wire brush and underseal, but its cold and wet!

  3. Too cold! Would your VW fellow weld him up if necessary?

    I'll probably ask, once I know the outcome. There's also Bob the Welder who took care of Henry after he failed his MOT last year (3 small areas on the chassis). I have options, I just need to know the extent and the vague cost.
    There is also a Y Reg one for sale up in Peterborough that looks lovely, but it's higher tax, petrol, and miles away. And expensive! You'd appreciate it though.... it's gold!

    Good luck!

    I was looking for some pictures of mine I put up on here when I bought it but couldn’t find them :(

  7. My van failed its MoT (or the Swiss equivalent) last year because the underside was 'too dirty'. Looked all right to me, but a can of spray on degreaser and a kitchen washing up brush later, he passed.

  9. Sounds very Swiss!
     
  10. There's no real reason for anyone to go to Peterborough, unless it's to visit their sister-wife.

    Possibly the oldest railway station in the country (certainly the oldest remaining), Wingfield Station.

    From the outside, it looked very well restored.

    Yes. They are good. Saw them in the late ‘80’s.

    My first time was early 90's at Derby Rockhouse.

    Met Simon last year, he's a top bloke, we met Chadders a few times over the past years too.

    He cracked open a disused council garage this morning, and found this in it. Hasn’t moved since 1973. Nice find!

    One of my first proper gigs was the Levellers at Brixham Academy in 92

    Brixham at that time was quite a eye opener for a country bumpkin

    Seen them several times over the years and was always a good night but I think they are struggling a little bit now and have to sit down but don’t we all

    IIRC. They were here at The Memorial Theatre in the ‘90’s?

    I wondered about that one. Are they doing smaller venues but doing two nights on this tour? I might see if there’s still tickets.

  20. Had to look that one up. Thought it was a Ford Pop or Prefect (which it is, sort of).
