 Re: What did you do with your A Series today? Jonathan wrote: Was looking to use it for the 57mile/2 ferries drive to Lerwick today but the weather was bloody awful first thing this morning so used the C4. This afternoon the weather is superb for open-top motoring in a tin can, but it's 57miles and 2 ferries away. Bum!  I'm booked on the 1805 and 1855 ferries back home so hopefully get it out for an hour this evening.  Think you mossed your ferry by a few years

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? Filmed a little 2 minute video of a drive on Unst today and used the video to experiment uploading something to YouTube which I've never done before. So check it out by putting in 2cv driving on Unst, Shetland. I'm already thinking of ways to improve future films(like keeping the hood closed to improve sound quality. lol).

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? Went to the garage where the ami was dropped of by the ANWB, talked about the problem, adjusted the cluch cable a bit, started it, drove it without problems.. seems a small problem  collecting the car next week, going to take the engine and box out.. original engine will be refurbished and put back in the car with the gearbox and new clutch, pressure plate and bearing...

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? Going to use the Shed later today to get my band gear down to the Swan in Stone for a gig tonight - if anyone is local tonight, why not pop along for some great real ales and hopefully enjoy some good music too!
