Well spotted, it is baggy point Thumbs Up

The picture was taken just past the shepards hut on Marine Drive. We get great sunsets at home but occasionally it's nice to drive down to the village to get a nice panorama if it's a particularly good one - usually you can predict when a sunset is going to be corker and get into the village in time.

I just happened to be out on my normal test drive route so pulled in to watch Thumbs Up 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

It's about time I started a thread on the old girl.

It's my parents old 1994 110 CSW that was our family vehicle until about 2000. Since then it's been used on our site and for shooting.

In 2018 it was put onto a galv chassis, mechanically it's great but the bodywork is letting it down so that's next on the list!

It's just clicked over 100k miles so is far from worn out!

L90DNY needed some horn infill panels for his 90 project. A quick test fit on the 110 before I post them out.

Perhaps the 110 needs a retro front end Whistle

Nice! I'm thinking of going the same way with mine - although it is very 'of the moment' it does look good!

Also reverting to orange indicators all round. 2005 Td5 | 90 Station Wagon | Tonga Green

That's a neat solution to the problem of those wretched holes. They seriously complicate any kind of retro front on a TD5 or Puma!

Thanks blackwolf Thumbs Up

Unfortunately the 110 only has 1 Td5 wing, so if I did retro style the front end then I'd have to cut the passenger side wing Laughing

I am probably going to put orange on the back but will keep clear on the front as I think it looks smart Thumbs Up 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

The 110 was used for towing duties today as the 90 doesn't currently have a tow pack and I'm not the owner of BP so didn't take the RRC.

My mate bought a MGF to play around with and I was enlisted to help him bring it home.

Over the 165 mile trip at a steady 60 on the M5 and A361 (and with a rather strong head wind on the way home) the 110 averaged 23mpg. Not bad I didn't think (especially considering how hilly the last 50 miles home is)

Stopped at Taunton Dean services to let the dog out for stretch and snapped a quick picture Thumbs Up

Long overdue update on the 110. Its out of MOT and needs a service but I got fed up of tripping over the soft A bar and steering guard I had spare so, naturally, I fitted them to the 110 to solve the problem Laughing
