[Malc1]

What are you going to do when she goes out for a run and returns with underside grubbiness ? 

Malc 

[Bob King]

Like other cars I’ve done this too…the underseal can be topped up yearly.

   It’s not going to see salt from the roads , I’ve got RAV4 in the  household to do winter work 👍🏻

[Chris Skelton]

Anyone else needs a RAV4 ,just get in touch!

 

 

 

 

Apologies for mis-using your string! Couldn’t resist!

[Bob King]

The usual.....front and rear bumpers. Dreaming of retirement as I don't have any time to play in the garage or drive for pleasure lately. 

[Bob King]

Went to a car show in Kent today …great day out with a good mix of vehicles .

 

 

[Bob King]

[Malc1]

Malc 

[Bob King]

Detling, Kent county show ground.

[Malc1]

I drove past there Friday too …… didn’t notice any signage ….. am I totally unobservant 🥵

the A249 has been impassable mostly for over a month or so ! 
I’m on Sheppey and despaired of the roads around here 😰

Getting towards the end of the jobs list on the car now ,replaced the plugs today (DENSO) and carried out an oil and filter change (Valvoline).

    Noticed the top breather pipe outer cover has been nibbled !…although not recently, ordered a new pipe from Amayama.

Gave the sump pan a fresh coat of black gloss 👍🏻

I love the Mk1 Cortina, shame it isn't a two door. I wish I had known about the show as I live fairly close.

I agree, the roadworks on the A249 and the A2 have made life almost unbearable for drivers in this area for months now.

I had a 1500 GT 2 door. If it was still on the road it would be worth a fortune now. HGC 169C I loved that car.

I had one as well for 3 years and loved it as well. Sold it in 1974 to put the money towards getting married and buying a house. Down graded to a Singer Chamois I paid £30 for.
