Did Mr Pickles get the 900 the way he wanted? Is he still driving the 9-5? Are those my feet? Tell him to come back to us!

Few bits to do to it, I'll be doing some detailing work on it soon, he's sorted a full time job now so will get lots of attention!

I met the owner of the Skyline just as I took this, hes an older gent to put it diplomatically. But what a sound guy! He was most than happy to talk about the car for ages. Would be great to get Chris's Chaser next to this I think, as he is in the locale too

I have parked across from it once or twice.

Skylines are such a awesome car to be fair, Not many 4 door 34's around either compared to 33's and 32's!

The Puglet has had a few ups and downs over the past few weeks but she's back running a dream once again. As with running any older car, constant fiddling and sorting niggles is a way of life. In the past month, I've replaced seat rails, rewired the starter after it chose to dismount itself and then another day the new short shifter went pop on the South Link so the welder came out to sort it. The next bundle of joy was a lumpy idle and poor running at low revs, but once a missing vacuum pipe and ill fitting throttle body housing were sorted the little war horse is back up and running as sweet as can be. She got treated to a 2 hour backroad blast in the rain on Sunday as a treat.





Also, I finally got round to sorting out the final remains of the original blue interior. One of the very first things I did with the car was to swap in a GTi interior and now its a nicer matching space.







Also, a few goodies arrived this morning for the new rally season. Its all about those period correct details for me hahaha

I see the ad is gone from donedeal, guess you had a change of heart?

The Tipo is a bit of a tight fit in the shed.

Love it! Such a car, bags of character.

The two tone paint looks fab, tell me this though. Do you ever get the wrong attention from the fuzz with the plates?

Not yet anyhow, have them a year now! A particularly anal traffic cop stopped me (only time I have ever been stopped in any car), and complained about the exhaust, which is very quiet and nct db legal as I tried to explain to him. Didn't like my very very slightly stretched tyres. Didn't like my 'modded' suspension, i.e coilovers, but never mentioned the plates! Told me he would take the car off me and get it crushed if he seen me again, nice guy

Damaged while parked, again. Twice in 6 months. Delicate subject but it really does make me question whether I would stop and leave my details if I bumped someone elses paeked car because clearly nobody ****ing else does.

^^^^ Very annoying.
I had similar damage repaired on my wife's car last week, €200. Good as new.

With the wet evening yesterday, and finishing work early, I deceided to redecorate the stable to keep the 60-odd horses happy. You dont get the simplicity of 3 bolts and a screwdriver to remove the rocker cover on a modern car!!!
