What are your plans for whipping yours out...

[its_welshy]

... The garage?

When are we all getting back on the road this year? Any prep you'll be doing?

[Sud 145]

It's out any sign of good weather. Mot start of April.

[PETROLHEAD]

my list of works is far too enormous for this thread! lol!

[Spacenut]

Ditto for me, although the plan is this year (same plan as last year if truth be told, but this time nearer to reality)

New AVO coil-overs on order, that's the last major mechanical obstacle to getting an MoT...

Lauren

[PETROLHEAD]

Best of luck lauren, it'll be nice to have you out there fighting the corner again!

[Sud 145]

Go Lauren we know it's going to be a Supernova.....

[its_welshy]

Will we one day be drinking Champagne in the Supernova?

Tony, we know you drive yours all year round!

[Alfasixnut]

The 6C has MoT, coolant in the system, fuel in the tank, DoT 4 in the reservoirs, Insurance still current......Just needs tax, battery charge......
....... and it is ready to go......

[dave.armstrong]

I use mine all year but I have just had 4 new tyres fitted.

Halfords have some great prices at the moment!

See what you did there Justin even if no one else did.

Same here Dave, as soon as the sun comes out I find an excuse for a road trip!

[dralf1965]

I have a different gearbox to be fitted, and an electronic ignition to go with the 1.7 Engine. Should be good to go to Spring Alfa day.

I spotted it too!

But now I can't think of an Oasis-themed riposte

[Fiatchris]

Might take mine out today... to go to work in .........like every other day!! .... sometimes , it even gets me back home!!

Chris

[dave.armstrong]

Been for its new tyres today.

Cannot believe the improvement in grip with the new Goodyear Efficient Grip compared to the Pirelli P6000.

Sud performed faultlessly in the snow and made me giggle all day.

Done exactly 20000 miles in it today since I got it!

[KevJTD]

20k!! that's some miles to be doing in it dave, never mind braving the snow and salty roads

top marks mate

[dave.armstrong]

Haha

It only took 9 years

[Kegsti66]

Nice one Dave, but give her a good clean.
I take my hat off to you , I hate getting mine wet.

You're a brave man!

I'm getting mine ready and hopefully will have a first drive over easter.

Still have to get the fuel pump fixed, and sort out the exhaust which Powerflow massively messed up.

[PETROLHEAD]

Powerflow?

Tut tut justin!




What have they messed up?

[Fiatchris]

Not getting them wet? The journey I have just had proves you can actually ford (yes, the verb not the noun!) a Sud!!!

[Sud 145]

Powerflow?

Tut tut justin!




What have they messed up?

He should have enquired about a Shrewbeedoo one 1st.

[PETROLHEAD]

Quite right Tony,

thank you!

[its_welshy]

Powerflow?

Tut tut justin!




What have they messed up?

The missed the hanger off the bend at the back completely so it constantly drops down, all the other hanger look like tin foil and constant come off as the weight bends them.. poo job..

I should have guessed when they wanted to cut a whole in the bumper!

[PETROLHEAD]

The trouble with Powerflow, is that they operate as a franchise i believe, so in one city you could get a decent job, but in another you get a right monkey doing it,

sadly it sounds like you got the monkey!



You should have come up north for a proper job mate, and give them the bill for fixing it

[KevJTD]

you're right about the powerflow franchise thing mate, place in town does them. to be fair they don't do too bad a job so maybe one of the better ones but as you say, being a franchise situation it's all down to the individual garage as to how well they are made. not like they place an order and fit a part, being made on site puts the whole onus on the guy building it to do a good job.

me, i'd just as sooner let shrewbedoo make me another one.....done a few now and all been decent, I just need to not sell the car after having them done!

[PETROLHEAD]

Thanks mate, and yes, the next one you must enjoy it yourself for at least a little while!

[KevJTD]

that'll be the 'grale


and yes, I MUST keep it!
