Well, after the Volvo fiasco where the seller said come and see then didn't bother to tell me he flogged it (wasted 30 mile round trip) and the A6 which was a bag of spanners, I might have found an addition to double the fleet to two 😂😂. Off to have a shuftie today so cross your fingers for me!

Finally back in Newcastle and what an amazing weekend! #Rustival was amazing, great to drive down, convoy over and spend time with such lovely people. Quick check on Frank then to Whitby. This morning back up to Newcastle. 600 miles and he STILL has fuel left. Impressive Frank!

Note to self. When going to car meets, Make sure you catch up with everyone and not get aide tracked! Oh, and take more pictures as I always forget then have to rely on my crew to pick up the slack!! You know who you all are. As you were. I'm out for a walk in Whitby. Breakfast time

Frank made it to Whitby. Didn't miss a beat. What a wonderful day. Big shout out to all the top guys, Chris, Rory, Simon, Bob, Jim, Ian, Matt, David....and caught up with Donal as well as new Nordic friends including Sam.

oldbritclassics.bsky.social @oldbritclassics.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Well, he made it and didn't miss a beat. Traffic was horrible, but we eventually got to Marston farm Hotel. No free parking either...£5.40 for the privilege of 10 hrs. Still, it's warm, cosy and look out for me and Frank at the services tomorrow. If you see us, come and say hello. Be nice to see you

oldbritclassics.bsky.social @oldbritclassics.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Long drive after work today from the north east to Warwickshire...#Rustival tomorrow then long drive back to the north east again. Keep your fingers crossed for Frank!!!

With #Rustival on Saturday, can we try the roll call again, along with the cars being brought, mainly so I know who to look out for lol. I know people on here but often miss em at events. I know Rory and his mint 306, so who else? I'll be there with Frank . Car and drivers please! #weirdcarbs

I may have just bought another car. I have to see it first in person but the pics look ace and the background checks and other important stuff looks all as they should do. All for £450...what could it be?

1. I wouldn't normally drift into political chat as plenty of others do that elsewhere. I look around and see different stories,some true, some false, all pointing towards ignorance of lessons we should have learned from 87 years ago. Wherever you look there's intolerance,bigotry, gaslighting...

oldbritclassics.bsky.social @oldbritclassics.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Took Frank to Whitby today. 170 miles round trip from mine. I put £30 of fuel in for half a tank, checked oil and water, down and back. Didn't miss a beat and on just over a quarter of a tank too. Love him.

I have to say a big thank you to my FOTU friends yesterday. As I was enjoying the day so much I completely forgot to take any pics of my own car! Luckily, the community saw to it I had some anyway. Thanks guys. You're the best! #fotu #weirdcarbs

1/2 #FOTU #weirdcarbs Great to meet all the cool kids at FOTU. Ended up inadvertently in one of Jon Couplands videos, met @norwichgiant.bsky.social and some guys from Ireland (Alistair & Donal). Thoroughly nice people met Frank and Frank is now home and putting his tyres up for the night.

Well, that's the Peugeot gone now. Goodbye old friend. You've been...in equal measures, a great car but also pain in the arse.

oldbritclassics.bsky.social @oldbritclassics.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

Roll call time ! #weirdcarbs who is going to FOTU next Saturday? I'll start us off... I'm going and god willing, you'll get to meet Frank.

oldbritclassics.bsky.social @oldbritclassics.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

Replaced wipers with all new Bosch. Replaced expansion tank cap. Snipped and re-jubilee clipped expansion hoses. Fixed rear wash wipe water pipe. DAB Bluetooth head unit fitted. New car mats fitted. Interior cleaned. Just need to sort a bit of cosmetics now. Labour of love is Frank. Love him!

oldbritclassics.bsky.social @oldbritclassics.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Jobs to do before FOTU. 1. Change expansion tank and pipes 2. Oil and air filter change 3. Dab Bluetooth radio install (done) 4. Remove a small dent. 5. Present Frank to the good people of FOTU. 6. Reflect on an epic battle to get here, finally, with a modern classic. 7. See some Blue sky chums!

oldbritclassics.bsky.social @oldbritclassics.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

Update on Frank. Sat with the engine running after covering a fair few miles these last few days. On today or all days, my birthday, it decides to overheat. Luckily the temp gauge was normal, and on inspection, seems like a new pressure cap required for the expansion tank. No head gasket smells 🤞

The more I drive Frank, the better he gets. Just had breakfast with my old mate and he was quite taken with Frank. Sure he's not perfect, bit of lacquer peel here and there..but a solid honest car which has very little to go wrong but all the stuff you need. Aircon, elec windows, twin airbags.👍

Standard Ford CD6000 head unit not working. Trapped my Jamiroquai CD! Luckily I was able to dismantle the unit and rescue. Added bonus..I had the old CD6000 unit from Genevieve kicking around. Uninstall and reinstall, code added and boom..off we go!

oldbritclassics.bsky.social @oldbritclassics.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

Well....I've been looking for a replacement for Genevieve. After spending alot of time carefully choosing a new steed, I've bought this today. Step forward a very clean, solid MK1 Ford Focus 1.6 LX. Absolutely love it. Forgot how well they drive. And you'll meet Frank at FOTU.
