I gave my car a good beating today...

[lozz]

Not many clean cars about now, due to all the kids handle bar dings and tree branch scratches.
just got rid of my 407 for that reason,

ive not seen a car forsale yet with a straight pannel

[Doggy]

ilove the colour, one of the Best of the blues ithink

With you on that one, not many of them about though. Doggy's looks great - when he cleans it!

I did it last week! (not that you'd think so to look at it now)

Can't say I approve of all this dashing about, unseemly conduct for a respectable gentleman's carriage, in my opinion.

It's fact that moonstone 406's are superior in every single possible way!

[rwb]

There's a moonstone 406 at work (I think it's 53-plate) and it makes my Samarkand look very dull and drab. There's also a china blue one with Nimrod alloys, they're definitely my favourite alloys.

I went to Derby on Friday so I stuck in another bottle of Wynn's injector cleaner. The A34 was busy, so I had to wait till the M40 to start the Italian tune-up and then I thrashed it up the A43 leaving some really big sooty clouds accelerating off the roundabouts (that road needs grade separating).

I calmed down a bit on the M1 and had a play with the clutch and the strange accelerating when light pressure is applied is definitely still happening.

Hard to colour match mine, every time I got a tin of KWMC Monaco/Paina Blue it was a different shade.

The passengers side had started to rust and bubble badly.

What's happened to the door? and the shut-line with the front wing looks a bit tight?

Not picking, I know you said it has a few battle scars here and there.

I used to mercilessly thrash mine sometimes and found it a bit quieter after

door.Looks like its been caught by the wind at one time, dosent look to bad,


Bailes get some proper pics up,

[Bailes1992]

My door is totally out of alignment. I think it's been off in the past for a respray.

I'l give it a good clean and get some pictures including all the battle scars. It's a shed, but the interior is mint and it drives perfect

Same here mate,

one ican remeber was a Bright green Hilman avenger estate,

Imust of been skint, to drive the thing

[sirwiggum]

I'd a Ford Orion, the rear arches were made of newspaper and filler.

[flatlander]

well I only recently picked mine up (2.2 HDI) and had loads of warning lights so being mechanically challenged I opted for charge the battery change the air and cabin filter stick a bottle of redex in and thrape it down to London and back After that I had loads less warning lights and the limp feeling had gone.

Now I do get black smoke on acceleration if I keep dpoing it but can't tell if its getting less or not LOL makes sure no one gets too close behinfd though so it is on my list for things to sort if after this tankful and more redex it sytill does it

[sirwiggum]

I've noticed newish VWs and BMWs put out a hell of a reek if they put the boot down
