dr_broon Posted November 26, 2022 Author Share Posted November 26, 2022 Really small update today.. My minidisc headunit had stopped reading discs, so I replaced it today. With another one exactly the same And why is there so little space behind the radio Also, the gritter was out early in the week, so that's that for the winter.. Battery disconnected... Goodnight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just came too late and got trumped by mp3s. The headunit is about right for the age of the car... I had it in my eg way back when. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loving that rear underneath shot, looks superb under there! I really need to get DD's underside cleaned up and brought up to scratch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It felt great to be using the deck how it used to be - quickly chuck the camping gear in the boot on a Friday and have a weekend camping without military planning. Rarely get to see underneath, so thought I'd take a pic while there was a bit of bling on show 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 yeah, I've swapped Poppy and DD's places the past couple of weeks (so DD on driveway right outside the kitchen window) and the more I see her the more I see how nice she looks. That then makes me want her back on the road asap! Do miss driving her tbh, and we're also missing her for stuff we've seen and wanted to buy but no way of getting it here without DD. Poppy had to take shelter in the garage even though she's the daily at the moment as the really bad ice/frost means her doors freeze shut and cant even get in to start her up and defrost her!lol The joys of a car with frameless doors.....windows freeze stuck shut and can't get in without a lot of deicer and hassle! lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just went back in the house where it was warm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_broon Posted March 29, 2023 Author Share Posted March 29, 2023 MOT day today, flew through... Even no issues on emissions... Nice Not much else to report, gave it a clean at the weekend, and fitted some proper diameter hose for the screen wash so they work properly now. I did fit a room brace (b pillar floor brace) a few weeks back, and took it back off straight away.. The brackets were flexing when I moved the brace by hand.. Not worth the inconvenience of having it in the footwell at the back. Anyway, post wash pic... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
