Re: Spotted today.

Drove my pick up in to the car park yesterday, and saw this lovely old split screen Traveller parked. (I was just looking for some new rope to tie down the tub cover. The marque company I first went to, said that they didn't have anything similar to what was already on mine, so I went to a chandler,...

Re: Spotted today.

Hello. I saw this yesterday in central London. It looked as tho it has been parked there for some time, judging by the bits of dirt underneath it. Surprised you can leave a car for some time in central London without it being nicked/council towaway. It was jammed full of stuff, maybe a street market...

Now to fix the horn, some days it works, other days it doesn't !

Last night driving home from work there was a bit of a pop 'n' bang noise and the car lost a bit of power. I got home okay and this morning I have had a look under the bonnet ...
