THIS WEEK IN OUR FLEET...

DAVID SIMISTER EDITOR ❚ 1977 RELIANT Scimitar GTE

Enjoyed lots of attention during its second show outing – Fun On The Field in Cowbit. Journey back was rather more successful than the last one.

JAMES SADLIER MANAGING EDITOR ❚ 2000 FORD Puma 1.4

Looking into getting the rear wheel arches rust-free at last. If it could cost less than the value of the actual car, that would be great…

MIKE LE CAPLAIN PRODUCTION EDITOR ❚ 2001 MGF 1.8i

Enjoyed a late-night hood-down blast home from the pub after meeting up with a friend and his 5.0-litre Mustang. I’ve really missed driving this car.

JON BURGESS NEWS EDITOR ❚ 1994 JEEP Cherokee Limited

Driveline judder is getting worse (along with the rust on the roof gutter) and the front brakes are squealing like pigs. Time for a stint in the service bay, methinks.

CHARLIE CALDERWOOD STAFF WRITER ❚ 1999 BMW 318Ti

Bid to find my other half a car this week has backfired – she wants something ‘modern’, not the Peugeot 306 I picked. Where’s the fun in that?

CHRIS HOPE FEATURES EDITOR ❚ 1980 TRIUMPH TR7 FHC

Nottingham isn’t quite the same as Bo’ness and its annual revival event, but the TR7 was treated to a run-out nonetheless.

RICHARD GUNN SENIOR CONTRIBUTOR ❚ 1993 FIAT Panda 1.1 Selecta

Recently polished the exterior to within an inch of its life for recent shows, so I should probably bring the interior up to a similar standard.

NICK LARKIN EDITOR-AT-LARGE ❚ 1953 MORRIS Oxford MO

Still not managed to get hold of a fuel tank for this rather stalled project. Time for a new home, maybe?
