Computers are wonderful when they work.... Damage as looked with with a lead light this morning is more than bashed wing. Evidently the impact on the wheel and thus onto front axle was fairly serious, one leaf on the front spring is broken. Our specialist insurers are wonderful and more or less understand what we are talking about. Insurers for corporate leased cars, however are a different matter.

At least you got the treat of seeing a proper car or two in company with their H-van grandparent!

Duncan, 2CVs all over the place, but in the workshop a 2 cyl LNA. That’s an obscure car.

Don't know that one... this pics on Google look very 1970s styling.

It's basically a Peugeot 104 with a 2CV engine and a Citroen badge. Quite rare these days. The 2CVs in the pic are both early ones and very collectable, particularly the van, but not much cop for daily use because they've both got the fairly gutless 425cc engine. The later 602 cars are much better (relatively). My upgrade from an Acadiane to a C15 was a revelation. I didn't realise how rubbish it was until I moved on. The only good things on the Acadiane were the brakes and the wind up windows (the only 2CV derivative to have the wind ups)

Finishing putting the engine back in the Ulster after an end of season partial strip down and re-fresh. Annoying slight oil leak from the rear of the crankcase/block joint cured and a few new bits and pieces fitted. Set the ignition timing this afternoon and all I need now is to give it a test down the road. Regretfully, that might be months away as North Yorkshire Council seem to want to salt the road through our village twice daily, every day
 Their web site gritting schedule says they don't but my eyes tell me different.Nearly ready for 2024 - can't wait! Steve

Blimey Steve
You must have one hell of an engine to be running an H6 carb Charles 
So I wasn't the only person thinking that...
