40 something. Probably some men, cars, trains, definitely cats & random rants… 🌈👬 Mainly on 🦋 now

@eBay_UK please sort this out. Can’t post item as wont let me buy the postage through the page you insist we buy through… been trying all day now 😡

[Si @si1881]

@RoyalMail could you advise where this package is please VF806120269GB ?Sender despatched on 2nd March but no update since for 48hr service?

[Si @si1881]

Why so difficult to insure a 'classic'?! 2 won't quote, 1 is £178 but has rung me at least 10 times in two days, one is £545, the last £279 which still seems high for 1500 miles a year. Only change from standard is optional dealer spoiler & side skirts... #classiccarinsurance

@AmazonUK what has happened here please? Next day delivery by 1pm chosen, showed as dispatched, gets to 1pm and now it states this? Is it out for delivery or lost or what? Your online chat just goes in circles... Tracking ID: UK3204436848. #amazonuk #amazon

Question for #WeirdCarTwitter does anyone know if Fiat Multpla rear subframe bushes are the same fit for a Tipo? Seems a shared part on Marea/Bravo/145/155 etc but only parts for both seem to be listed for Multipla… or only available in Italy? #sedicivavole

[Si @si1881]

Really @BarnsleyCouncil after weeks of not collecting them you now stick these on about four I can see on our road along with ours and don’t empty it? It’s been like it ages and has been replaced once as your machines keep breaking them #barnsleycouncil

[Si @si1881]

Another request for #WeirdCarTwitter
anyone think this can be cleaned to be used again? New ones seem unavailable or £450+ Fiat part 7772114 and seems unique to Tipo 2.0 16v and Coupe due to couple of extra sensors 😕Have found a few that fit but missing some holes or more hoses

[Si @si1881]

Don’t suppose anyone on #WeirdCarTwitter has one of these lying around? Fiat part number: 7647361

Any online seem have more ribs for the larger belts 😕 #FiatTipo #Tipo #Sedicivalvole #Lampredi #LamprediTwinCam

Today is Remembrance Sunday. It is a time to think about those who often had no choice but to perform heroic acts on our behalf. I’m thinking of my hero, Simon

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

One last go at this before trying Facebook &/or scrapyard. Anyone interested? Ideal first car and will be quite sad to see her go tbh

Would anyone be interested in a slightly tired/battered but oh so reliable K12 Micra Auto?
Time for an update for daily driver but would rather it go to a proper home rather than scrap/part-ex. Lots of little jobs done over the years we’ve had it. #micrak12 #weirdcartwitter

[Si @si1881]

@Alfa33veloce That’s actually the guy I got the car off a number of years ago. Will give him a try if then one lead I have doesn’t work out.

[Si @si1881]

Don’t suppose anyone on #CarTwitter has one of these lying about? Bottom pulley for a ‘93 Tipo 2.0 16V? Fiat part number 7647361 (4 rib belt rather than 5) as don’t really fancy putting this back on 😞#Sedicivalvole #Lampredi #Tipo #WeirdCarTwitter

[Si @si1881]

@IndecisiveAuto Found the same with some shock top mounts for the Puma. Wondered why things were still bumping & knocking, got a genuine Ford one and it’s nearly a third bigger/thicker. Supposedly the aftermarket one is OE spec & quality…

[Si @si1881]

@LidlGB & @Pod_Point can someone please fix the charger (Joan-Gabe) at your Wombwell store where store says the issue is #PodPoint and they say it’s #Lidl. Charger not showing on either app but seems to be able to be working. Like it for 10+ days now. #EVissues #EVChargeFault

[Si @si1881]

FFS why is car insurance renewal time always so stupidly stressful. Newer safer car(s) yet apparently ‘more desirable’ so more to insure but older one still gone up too?! #cartwitter #InsuranceRipOff

[Si @si1881]

Appears they are correct if put on with more force than initially I wanted to try! Car now moveable again but not under own power 😔 Bit of a much needed garage sort out too…

[Si @si1881]

Can #weirdcartwitter help with a driveshaft nut problem?! Finally nearly got the #Tipo back on the ground after 4(?) years but both Genuine and Aftermarket hub nuts don’t fit and feel like going to strip the thread. Could it be a different pitch? #Sedicivalvole #LamprediTwinCam

[Si @si1881]

Mavis has been replaced so really needs to go to a new home now 😞 Ideal first car and has done us brilliantly for 6 years. #CarForSale #WeirdCarTwitter #Micra #MicraK12
