General Splutter comes out of Hibernation!

Glad to hear about Splutter's new ticket (y)

Don't know what'll be happening with our Panda yet, it's really Paula's car (except when it needs filling up with petrol or taxing or insuring or a new head gasket...) and she'll have to forfeit her licence for at least 12 months after what's happened.. :(

If we do decide to get rid of it, it'll be offered to you horrible lot first of course. But that's something to be decided later, once she's out of hospital..

Cheers,

Plug
 
BTW, I was working by delivering phones to the repair centre and not just taking a short cut for posh coffee, honest!

:yeahthat:
 
Splutter is looking a bit empty at the minute!

We're thinking of lightening the fly wheel. Any suggestions?

No, I think thats some sort of dealer plate thats ended up on my windscreen.... God Knows

Got to order the gasket for the manifold and the exhaust

Anybody got the part numbers?

Jim

We learned a lot from sylvia's install so we have a better under bonnet set up with the pump and regulator.

Weirdly we had to get sylvia all set up on a rolling road to make her go properly but Splutter is racing without any of that!

I'd bring him to the next meet but he's really a 'local' panda. Sylvia is the 'long distance' panda (with the 5 gears, loads of sound proofing and the 'expanding filler foam' LOL)

Just got him insured for another year at 137 quid which I thought was pretty impressive with A. My driving record and B. 1 years no claims bonus!

Admiral Multicar... We have 5 cars with them for £1100 pounds which ain't bad as the Barchetta is Group 16 and the Multipla/XM are both Group 12.

They do this weird thing were your no claims bonus is spread across all the cars not just the main one. Seems to make it a lot cheaper as I used to pay just over a grand to insure the Barchetta by it's self!

Jim
 
I did.... Normal garages where talking about a grand to fix it but I got some weird we man from way up the country to take it away on a low loader and cut the pipes and fit in little bits of spare pipe he had lying about in his midden of citroen parts that he'd collected over the years... Yeah, he's one of those people you want to be left in a room with too long or he'll start showing you his widgets!

Still cost 200 quid thou, but I really do like the old bus :eek:
