I have purchase publicity brochures and all sorts of things for her and will be cherished

Do I read correctly that YOU will be cherished? Mind your English, dear!
We’ll talk about it tomorrow when I’ll be the one driving her to you.

It was late, I was tired, what can I say

What time was the Don planning on being at yours?

He didnt say, I didnt have the ‘balls’ to ask such a question of the respected DON

Oh. I think it’s going to be around 1300 hours o’clock, as our former bankmanager used to say.

Colette arrived today, Good afternoon spent with ” The Don and his Moll”

Already gone onto CX Basis and spent 300€ Oops!!

Anyone know the official colour of my wheels and trims Thank you 1981 Reflex

A quick lesson by the Don.

‘Look, that’s sort of the engine’.

After a few teething problems Colette is up and running again
Cracked hydraulic hoses lead to a leak and old cracked fuel lines needing replacing
The DON and his MOLL came today and put her right for me.
Also swapped those ‘horrid’ (in my opinion)plastic wheel trims for proper CX Stainless items
and lovely she looks too
I also added polished C post trim and have just won a set of SS door handles for 20€


A big thanks to Garagestmarien

What’s this then?

caption contest!!!!

She is a beauty and named Colette by Wendela

Congrats, she’s gorgeous. Funny though, my 2400 GTI from 1980 is called Collette..

Well, enjoy her, and keep us informed about the adventures you’ll have with her

Thank you yes I am just getting used to her ways
had a few teething problems like rubber hoses deteriorating etc as she was in a garage for 14 years but she is getting there now
I fitted new indicators and fuel pump this weekend as well as sort out another LHM leak in one of the returns rubber hoses
The 2Ltr engine seems to be very good though, I also gave it a good engine clean

What a beautifull car!

Great car, very nice colour. Thanks for the photos!
