Crazy idea a car show, what will they think up next.

An do we have to name every car in the photo or just the main one ?

Are the last two NSU prinz and Saab 95.

They must have balanced and measured every part so very, very carefully to get those pistons to work at such high rpm.

Quite a success just to get it to run. Would also have been interesting to run a single cylinder one as a proper motorbike.

Found an enormous pile on my car last week and the only thing about that is big enough to poo that much is a Buzzard,

or possibly a Swan, though much rarer to see go over.

It looked more like pigs could fly by the amount of mess, on a perfect hit bombing run.

Sadly not, though i feel certain I chose the best of two for my car.

I might have. Will check before lunch, so if no answer by then, I haven't.

Met a chap who is struggling to finish a Sud, seen him a few times, helped him a few times and he is a genuine guy not a con man. He needs a pair of front calipers as his are rusted solid. He has welded most of the bodywork, but now running out of funds. So if anyone is prepared to let go a pair at ...

OOh, most annoying. Good luck with the repair.

An there was another one at Shelsy, which went very well. Sorry about the cycle picture too hot and hit the wrong button.

Also recently did a trip out with the Worcester car club which included a run up Shelsy, great fun.

Would that be at Tanc Barratts place? Yes, though I tend to view it as Eric Weavers new neighbour. :lol: He does get an interesting mix in aside from endless Intergrales. Eric and I were most amused when I took the Sud to Eric's for a check on a tyre and the whole of Tanc's workforce came in to che...

I am sure listening to that kind of music is not helping.......Or did it used to up the work pace.

Like driving to Meatloaf. Never a wise thing too do.

Of course. Far too easy for you.

The owner drives it most days and cherishes it. I was surprised at how nice the cabin was and again the chap working on it said the owner found it very comfortable.

Trying to find seals for an old Bradbury trolley jack and while getting no where bumped into this. But what is it ?

WHAT! You haven't stripped , fabricated, welded and painted yet !

I thought he was a pal, your loosing yer touch Kev.

I would look very closely at the fitting of the rubber box around the fuel filler cap as I suspect its fitted wrong or split and allowing fumes out. Good luck.

Ticket booked

Event is open to non AROC members - you just need to turn up in an Alfa on the day

Good to know, thanks, will have to see what can be done.

You would think that as engine bays get more compact and cramped it would be better to use a remote location for the filter so that servicing would not require the need to remove stuff. Then again we are all silly old sods who think practically :lol: :lol: Yep, how stupid is that ! You will be want...

That oil filter is madness, why would you tuck it so far away? Decision made by a committee would be my guess or one bloke just had his ego threatened and so would not compromise and agree to something sensible. Had not realised they had plastic springs either, could that be better or worse for the ...

This thing is in time warp condition though https://www.mathewsons.co.uk/product/1985-alfa-romeo-giulietta-rs-current-v5-present-paperwork-includes-tax-disks-mot-certificates-and-a-promotional-copy-we-highly-recommend-that-you-view-in-person-any-potential-purchase-an/ [/quote] Yep , someone has real...

Blimey, bet your glad you spotted that before something broke at speed.

This has been a hot topic on the forum many times before that Fitting poly bushes to a sud is generally considered a Bad move. The std spec of the suds suspension is what give the car it’s sublime road holding and handling. When you start to mess with the bushes you lose some of the compliance and ...

Does the inner pull out ? It sounds like its snapped, or not locating at one end or the other.

I have just done the rear end of the car with new powerflex bushes and what a joy, dead simple job, thank you Alfa romeo and decent product, thank you Powerflex. Improved the car much more than I expected as the bushes did not seem too bad. Which along with cash flow problems is why they did not get...

I think we will find that manufacturers will decide to make their electric cars more interesting as they are already concerned that people find them boring. I have no idea what they will do, but someone has to cater for the Luddites among us. Perhaps that is the business one needs to get into ....en...

De Tomasso Mangusta have rusty roof's and I know I could not do that welding.

And another interesting one ! Particularly like the folding bicycle hanging off the front.

That's the Covid experience for you, I had three tasks to do monday as i got out and made a mistake on each one.

Just not in the right frame of mind at the moment.

That looks smashing. Well done on all your tasks and thanks for posting as missing my normal Italian car experience.
