Posts: 263 Thanks: 13 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: The Teuchter Car Oops it's been a while again. Turns out I'm really, really crap at painting. I knew I wasn't brilliant but this is bad. And to quote the garage - "you're never getting anywhere near anything of mine with a paintbrush" :lol: :lol: Anyway, picture time. They're ok as long as you don't get too close ![]() Oh and I should have painted the bolts. I might still do this at some point.... Nah! I've learned my lesson

Posts: 263 Thanks: 13 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: The Teuchter Car And once again it's been a while, although this is probably my worst absence ever - sorry for that The catalyst for engaging with the forum again is that I passed a milestone with the Grande yesterday [image:1w33hj7f]174[/image:1w33hj7f] It took a bit longer than expected as my work/life balance is seriously out of kilter at the moment and I've not had any time for decent road trips recently so much so that I don't think the poor car has been south of Aberdeen in over a year. I must change that next year! Anyway, the car is doing ok which means a huge bill is probably imminent. However at 100k the engine is only just run ![]() In summary, the Teuchter Car is still alive (as am I) and intending to stay that way for a while yet

Posts: 263 Thanks: 13 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: The Teuchter Car Well that's interesting, I can no longer edit my posts which means I can't fix the photo links that broke in the migration over here. Just in case anyone is actually reading, the picture for post 53 should be this ![]() and the image for post 65 should be this ![]() And in other news, as predicted there has been a huge bill now as the rear brakes needed replacing, I broke yet another coil spring and a wheel bearing went ![]() I really need to stop driving it like a rally car ![]()

![]() | Re: The Teuchter Car The springs on these, much like on certain VX's, are clearly absolute chocolate. Every single GP, Corsa, Bravo or Astra you look at the MOT record of has multiple fails on broken coil springs. Good to see it's still going ![]()

Posts: 263 Thanks: 13 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: The Teuchter Car It was the 10th anniversary of my ownership of the Teuchter Car yesterday so to celebrate I persuaded @M21MFS that a road trip was required. This was very hastily decided on Friday evening so not much time to publicise it however 4 of us (plus one small child) congregated in Dundee and took the cars for a run out to Coupar Angus, down to Perth and then back up to Dundee. Nice roads for a decent run and the 100HP that joined us did very well in keeping up with the Abarths. Thanks to @simon_16vpunto fo suggesting the run All in the Teuchter Car covered 240 miles yesterday and never missed a beat. Obligatory picture of fiats in a supermarket car park ![]()
