...what does everyone do with there “toy” cars over the winter??

Look forwards to spring...

had The morning off work today, sun is shinning, so washed the 5, spent ages drying it, before putting it back in the carcoon (still the best car related investment)..

So I used the car Sunday, took it to work Monday... covered 50 miles, still have done less than 800miles under my ownership...

Have rekindled some love for the 5 this weekend

Just read your thread and I'm very jealous. This car is amazing. Lucky chap
If it was me, I wouldn't change anything. Please don't refurb the wheels or replace any stickers. Keep it with that patina, it's irreplaceable and tells a story. Otherwise it'll just look like a very well restored car if it was too mint. Just my thought's though.
Thanks for sharing the pictures and story.

That's probably the best find ever. Congrats. Keep,the decals I like the history of it

Bringing it to Blyton again this year?

Unsure atm, technically I am meant to be on holiday in Devon with the family, am deciding whether or not to bring the 5 up Friday, come home Sunday and go to Devin in the Astra, or to go Blyton in the Astra and straight to Devon on Sunday...or take the 5 to Blyton and Devon...

5 Up and down , and astra across .

Job jobbed.

The 5 got some un wanted attention last night, sadly the security light in the garden didn’t go off... would have got some better quality pics of these twats.

Thankfully nothing of mine wasn’t taken, these guys were after tools and bikes, there was a car driving about and they were dumping bits in the car and the car would come back 10 mins later... so they are based within 5 mins of my house.

I have been planning of turning my carport into a garage, this has now increased the time frame for a garage... as well as some better lighting around the driveway and garden.

I hope they were just looking and being nosey to see if there was anything to nick rather than actually considering taking it

Pretty much that mate, they only took bikes and tools, I am sure they was wondering what’s inside, but couldn’t work out how to open it...

Chris let's get this sorted, I'm more than happy to lend my time to make this secure for you

Can you get some Ricardo advanced wood smuggling onto that toot sweet.. something akin to Indiana Jones should suffice

Great car, great back story and sounds like it's made its way to another great owner.

 

[DaveL485]

Scumbags, need shooting the lot of em. I left my entry gate open a few months ago overnight - one time - and there were scum suckers down my back yard snooping, they stole my wheelbarrow!



Then they used it to carry something they took from the neighbours, think it was crates of beer left outside or something. This is the shithead passing the front of my house with it.

Email from Renault reminding me to book in for an MOT, and renewal from Footman James for my insurance....

Had the 5 nearly a year, covered 850 glorious miles in it without having to top oil/water etc...

Have everything in place for a decent service now, new tyres to be ordered...

May mot it and store away for 2019... thinking of keeping in the 25k Miles rather than go into the 26k bracket.
