Re: Davie's french attraction.
If that hasnt sorted it I guess the next culprit wil be the electronic ignition module. Just going away to do some miles in it just for fun!

Re: Davie's french attraction.
A nice clean lilpug at the beach. Running a lot better but still a very occasional misfire. Hope it doesn't get dirty before Buckie classic car show on Sunday.

Re: Davie's french attraction.
I think the misfire is force of habit!
Once Lilpug gets used to clean fuel the tickle in her throat will probably clear up.

Re: Davie's french attraction.
Lilpug is looking good 
Is that viaduct in use Davie and if so, what line is it on?
If disused, what line was it on?
Sorry, one of my other passions...

Re: Davie's french attraction.
That viaduct is at Cullen. It is and has been disused for years now, possibly 40 years! It was part of a railway line from Banff to Elgin. There are 3 parts to it and is a lovely old bridge. Im so lucky having so many lovely bits to provide backdrops to photos of cars in this area.

Re: Davie's french attraction.
Lil pug is working nicely now, she has stopped sulking from having a dirty filter. She is sleeping just now in readiness for attending a classic car show tomorrow.
I have had a bad day. Went to work with beryl the blingo at 4.30pm. Beryl is going great for a 148000 mile 1.9non turbo. Very unlikely to get caught speeding in her out of town. An indicated 70 is all she will do! She clonks a bit from front drivers side, suspected drop link. Brakes fine apart from handbrake needing adjusted. Funny feeling she's going to be looking for a rear axle for a next mot. I'm not doing it. She will get sold as spares/repairs so save me doing it. So to the bad bit of the evening. I managed to lose 20 quid at work, don't know how. I had about 10 quid tips so that lessened the blow, but not by much really as if we are short of money we have to cover it. I also managed to lose my phone. That means lost all my contacts, phone numbers etc. It also means I have been demented changing all my passwords as EE will only block the sim card, not the phone itself so it can still log into everything I had on it. The only thing I did not have on auto connect so is safe is my bank details.I have changed the log in details for it though. Then just as I thought it couldn't get worse I reversed beryl I to a steel post and broke a back light. It has been a bad week really. I'm almost afraid to take lilpug to the show tomorrow, that's buggered a wheel and tyre on bigpug, broke a light unit on beryl and lost the phone and 20 quid. Think I need to stay in bed for a week until it's time to go to Fort William next Sunday. Bad things come in threes. I've damaged two vehicles, and lost two items. Does that mean I've to damage a third vehicle and lose a third item? Better take the 107 out a run in the morning and do something to it. Sacrifice it to save lilpug lol

Re: Davie's french attraction.
Good news on Lil'Pug Davie but very sorry to hear about the phone loss...
If you have a PIN code or other protection on it then it should be safe from prying eyes I'd have thought...
I have a PIN on mine as it contains just too much valuable information...

Re: Davie's french attraction.
Heres all the French cars I can see here at this show. The 309gti lives less than 1/2 a mile from me and I have never seen it! I have just turned down an offer of £2200 for lilpug. It was tempting as it owes me less than 1000 as it stands, but Im not in it for the money! Next year it may fetch 3 grand lol

Not to mention exception adhesion from the tyres, brakes, and footwear!

Re: Davie's french attraction.
Heres some yellows for Jim. The Avenger is a ltd edition Avenger sunflower, not quite yellow. It has only done a genuine documented 3000 miles from new! The mk1 escort is a total restoration, many thousands spent on it.

Re: Davie's french attraction.
Nice looking 21 turbo Davie. Drove one years ago and was very impressed with it.
