Another story for Will about this car. I was working at Volvo and my manager let me fix up the car in the body shop. I had done all the welding and started getting ready for a respray. We were allowed one paint job a year FOC. That evening I was called away on a fire,. We were out all night and I came back into work in the morning and my mates in the paint shop had resprayed the car. Happy days. I loved the 80's.Life was simple back then.
See the comparison in bodyshape between the 145 and the 850R for example.

145 or an 850R. Hmm? Don't know anything about either just going on looks .

Quick sidenote finally got the Go-Kart up and running today. You could tell it was running rich fuel cough cough blimey

You were obviously caught by one of those con websites that offer Visas and stuff at a cost that should be free. I nearly made that mistake when applying for a US visa a few years ago.....

Belated appy New Year to all, and appy non-birthday to Max. It's 32 degrees today in Brizzy and son's pool is 31 degrees. We're off up the coast in a hippy mini-camper on Saturday for 10 days - luckily the bushfires up here in Queensland are relatively minor, having had a fair bit of rain recently.
Oh well, time for a swim and a beer....

Well , got a text this morning saying my passport runs out in 6 months .
But it is from HMG , & advising it is easier to renew online . So probably not a scam , but surprising that HMG is actually getting that efficient with the new ,

Back then you could just park anywhere Mike
I briefly had a gold MK2 2L S around 1990 . . .a very cheap car at the time . . . . had this in 98 same colour I guess Cliff? until I upgraded to a 1600E in late '99 . . . Twas a 1600 GT XLR no less, more than enough power for the handling!

Now I've seen the video from your Cortina suspension its easier to understand why you prefer it to a Capri. Specially when it comes to bump steer.

Or go straight to a post office wher you can get it renewed same day. Look up what POs offer the service, there's bound to be one local to you.

Not so simple living in Aus and on a British passport. Used to be able to go to the British Consul in Melbourne with form and fee and it would come by courier from Canberra in a few days.

Went to renew mine last year about a month before I travelled to discover now passports are now all done in the UK (online is ok with digital photo) but it now takes a minimum 6 weeks. Rang the UK passport office to see if I could get a rapid job done for a fee, but told no.... and to go to the British Consul in Melbourne for an Emergency Travel Document (ETD). Had to do a video interview via iPad with the UK consul in Singapore showing other ID, Drivers license etc which was no problem and got my ETD after lunch same day. They sent me a text saying when ready. Only problem is that it is for one trip only and all flights must be pre-booked with no change of itinerary allowed.

The ETD looks like a normal passport but is yellow with the no change restrictions listed. A yellow British passport confused Spanish immigration no end and a bit of a delay ensued till they let me through. Returning to Aus was ok as I linked the new ETD to my Resident Return Visa online before leaving.

Have now applied for a 10 year one but still in the application process waiting for it to arrive.

Get well soon! Coincidentally I spent the same time visiting my wife in hospital also with pneumonia (her not me).

All the best for your recovery & the New Year!

I would like to add my belated best wishes to the list as yet another casualty of the dreaded hospitals wards; I was admitted on the 22nd, released today and am now considered a "virtual inpatient" which means that tests and scans are prioritised as if I was still bed blocking.

Unfortunately, although the medics know what the symptoms are and how they manifest themselves, they have yet to determine the cause/s; thankfully, the Big C has been pretty well ruled out - for now at least.

Still, onwards and upwards.
