Heh!

Glad you like him, guys!!


I'm still not sure, myself - will attach the over-riders without the corner bars for a bit and see what I think. If I don't think I like them, I'll take them off!! (And put them on Frankie! )


I've just got my tax disc for Reggie for another 12 months! It runs out next halloween!! I thought it was quite a nice date, so I did it for a year, to keep it! Hehe!

Ooh! I did! I went over specially to take a look! Lovely ickle estate!

[miniman92]

Thanks, (I posted on my brothers account just lol.) I hope you dont mind but i think a set of black arches is on the cards, black and champagne just go so well!

[Bean]

I might have to start copyright-ing the colour combination soon, lol

Nah - Course! I think it looks great, too - but obviously I'm biased, lol

[miniman92]

Do you have any pictures of yours from malvern, i mite try and dig one out of mine.

[Bean]

No - I... er.... left my camera at home!

That's what happens when I get up early, lol

The only one I got was this one, on my phone:




I took it at the end of the day when most people had gone!




Reggie's not looking his best now, I'm afraid - The dreaded rust is starting to set. I'm going to underseal him and try and protect him as much from the winter weather as possible. Once everything's settled with other things going on in my life at the moment, I think we might take him off the road again and really get to work on his bodywork - Try and sort out the front end! (That's the only bit that has any rust on it, lol).

Would be cool to get the estate and Reggie together!! Beige rules!

[miniman92]

Yeah beige is certainly becoming an increasingly favourable colour, its wierd how it looks almost grey in the shade and really creamy in the sun.....



cant find my cable to upload my pics from malvern

Absolutely Stunning...

It's an odd colour to try and photograph right. Sometimes it almost looks white and others, it'll look really yellow!




Reggie might be going on a rolling road in the next couple of weeks - Would be interesting to see what he's producing now that he's got a new heart!

Need to sort a water leak and an exhaust leak first though!

[mini93]

an exhaust leak first though!

you knwo as well as me thats never going to be fixed if its reggie

i do have to say im not a fan of over riders though

[Bean]

It's sorted, actually!

K spend ages reshaping the centre section end (where it meets the y piece) - He heated the metal and whacked it back in to shape! It now fits much better! The result is that I'm not petrified that it's going to fall off whenever I take him out for a drive!

I took him to the pub on Sunday and to work yesterday! And he's fan-fapping-tastic!


He's running a little high on tick-over though, not sure why... and he's popping a little bit when he goes back through the revs when you stop accelerating. Other than that, he's running like an absolute dream! It's been really cold recently, but Reggie's started every time. You can immediately drive him away and he's so smooth!


I know an MPi wouldn't be to everyone's taste, but I couldn't want anything more from my Reggie! He's got some power and he starts first time, every time!



Bloomin' 'eck - It's a miracle!

[shedonwheels]

Whoop! go reggie! carb carb carb blah blah blah, don't let the carb mafia break you
Where were you at rolling road day miss?! Vinnie went on and survived(!) but then broke down and ate a wheel bearing (and drive shaft and two front tyres and brake pads but thats another story) on my way home.

overriders

[Bean]

Sorry, Amy! I left my phone in the car that night and didn't actually get the text until midday! Glad it went OK though!

I read about Matt's getting 155bhp?


Reggie's doing superbly at the momeny! I'm taking him to work every day this week (Kris has the Golf and is away all week!) - So far so good for Reggie though! It's been raining, windy and very very dark & cold - And he's not skipped a beat!

Even his intermittent wipers are a complete god-send!

[Bean]

Well, I thought it was so cold last night...


...and so did Reggie!

So much so that his passenger side headlight has cracked and split in two!!


Photos later!!!

[Bean]

... and now my driver's side one has split!!
