If like me you like to faff, fettle, potter or tinker; buy an older car that has been an elderly person’s pride and joy… it will function as a mode of transport, but there will always be some perceived minor job that you will want to do to improve things, that will turn out to add two more jobs to your never ending list 🤣🤦🏼‍♂️ #festivaloftheunexceptional #volvoc70 #fiatpandacross

My “vehicle stable” a 2007 Volvo C70 D5 and a 2009 Fiat Panda Cross. Work on the Volvo is coming on. So far I’ve had the aircon re-gassed, unblocked the roof drains, fitted new wipers, cleans/lubricated the door/roof seals and re-aligned the front bumper. Just waiting for a fuel flap actuator, remote fob case and a pair of load divider struts to turn up. We do love our oddball cars 🤣 #volvoc70 #fiatpandacross #festivaloftheunexceptional

Something a little different this weekend. Firstly it’s a sunny Bank Holiday 🤣 Secondly we picked up our new Camp-let Passion and are heading for a first shakedown 👍🏻 #camp-let #fiatpandacross

A little bit of energy yesterday meant that I decided to do some long overdue maintenance on our #PandaCross “Ninky”. I replaced a 14 year old auxiliary belt and it’s tensioner. And for good measure I hot stapled a crack in the bumper. I’m now having to rest again 😬😩 but it’s just about ready for its next MOT #FiatPandaCross #FiatPanda4x4

I like tinkering on old cars and bicycles so to start with here’s the family cars. These two serve the us well and will hopefully continue to do so. Across a whole lifecycle they are reasonably environmental too. The bike pictures will follow 🤦🏼‍♂️ #renaultcliocampus #fiatpandacross
