Right the Ligier has sold. My nine month flirtation with microcars is over for now at least, althoug I still fabcy another one to convert to electric power. I made a small but reasonable profit on the sale of Kermit, and this has gone towards clearing some credit card debt.
I have now acquired hsi replacement ......a 42000 milr from new 1995 Citroen AX diesel for the princely sum of £125. Now the AX needed an OT whic it gained easily enough needing just a CV boot and a headlamp adjuster to pass........well theroetcially that's all it needed. in realtity it also needed a core plug replacing as the MOT testerrefused to carry on the test with a hot shower going on in the background.
So a bil of £200 quid secured the repair and a new MOT, £115 satsified the taxman to alow me to drive on the road and at a sum total of £440 I amon the road in my new daily commuter.
except of course that it has just cost me another £30 to fill the tamk (it had about 8 litres in already) I have the VOW2 uniton order to convert it ready for Veg Oil next week. That should reduce my daily motoring costs again.
Sadly I lost almost 35 litres of fuel when my settling tank burst last week. I now have a very well oiled garage floor, as wel a lots of highly combustable newspaper.
Anyhow, changing gear slightly, to a new topic, I have decied to enter a Banger Rally in 2008. It's something I have had in mind for quite a while. but never got round to. Hopefully ihave my friends Mark and Graeme onboard as team members, and we jut have to choose the event to follow, or make up our own. More tol follow on the banger rally soon.
