Yes, it's another random 'Day out' photos thread

Well, with my car going up for sale I needed some suitable stock, to suitably pimp my auction, so I trolled around till I found somewhere nice to park up and take some photos.

Oh, they're all un-edited too!

The car was going on the auction site we all know and love, and I decided that I'd had enough of poor auctions with lame descriptions and dodgy photos, so wasn't having any of that.

Armed with my dad's new Nikon-whatsit-some-5mp-jobbie-fancy-digital-trickery camera, these were the results

Highly random I know, but it's late, and I'm bored!

Ta..........yea, in some respects. Would love to keep her, very very hard to find a car like this but I don't have the option. Onwards to different things!

T reg makes it a 78.

It's a Triumph Dolomite 1850HL Auto (breathes). Not a fast car, but a nice tourer. 91 brake, 0-60 in 12 seconds, 30-40mpg, a 1.85 slant four driving the rear wheels. Nice little motor really.

New car has the engine from the 'fast' Dolomite fitted - the Sprint. 127bhp (standard) 16 valve 2 litre, it's a great little lump. Tuneable to 280bhp too

Before your time? I'm twenty and on my third/fourth one :eek:

Yea - no plastic spacer that I came across, simply unthreaded the central nut, used my puller to get it off, slammed the new one on and tightened it up

Phantom, that's brilliant

Took me a minute to realise!
