Rob's Ur Quattro

[RobClubley]

Out in the wild!
After 100km or so of general driving the fuel gauge seems to have settled to a consistent reading, about 10l less than the actual amount but as long as it stays consistent that's fine by me.

Out in the rain getting dirty
And getting groceries

Roofline looks like GT40 or Lambo compared to neighbours in shot outside Lluma.

Wadestown - I've driven past a few times and thought it'd be an interesting backdrop.

The ceramic coating was so worth it! Almost 5 years and still doing the business.

Well I never! - I lived in Grant Road to age 10, trekked all around the Town belt above and never realised it was there.

It's always fun taking pictures next to modern small cars.

The more I look at that photo ^^^^ the more startled I am by it.

I don't take pictures but often look at my mk1 mx5 parked next to modern stuff and think it looks small ...   Even the swift looks big next to it.

Modern cars are huge, and the UK parking spaces were starting to look small in the 90's. 

Now however the cars are way too big and the spaces a reasonable bit too small.

 

Glad the fuel readings seem to behaving, although with lead times on everything I'd be getting a spare for the shelf.

I assume there isn't some crud in the tank or that any of the welding/filter removal hasn't allowed another chamber to become open?

I would get a spare if they were available. At some point I'll pull it back out and refurbish it.

Ahh it’s one of those parts. Still at least it’s something you can refurb 👍

[RobClubley]

When you take the long way home from the local shop.

 

 

[kentphil1]

Oh yeah, that's the sound we wanted.......😈 👍

[RobClubley]

I thought that fan sounded a bit loud!

There's a Quattro going under the hammer at Silverstone tomorrow (Sat 27th):

I've just watched that. There were one or two very tempting cars there (if I had any money left that is ) loved the yellow Ferrari 208. Who wouldn't like a 2.0 V8  The modded V12 E type looked great value too

I'd prefer a 246 Spyder. Possibly in metallic lavender.

[Lady Elanore]

Dino 246 GTS my favourite all-time car, but at least I could pretend I might one day be able to afford the 208 (not the Peugeot version )
