THIS WEEK IN OUR FLEET…
DAVID SIMISTER EDITOR
] 1990 MAZDA Eunos Roadster Looking a bit sorry for itself because it hasn’t been on any adventures lately. A free weekend and the promise of warm weather should sort that!
JAMES SADLIER MANAGING EDITOR
] 2003 PEUGEOT 406 Coupé The front end’s looking a little less healthy after a pigeon decided to fly into it on a recent outing. The car fared less well than the bird did…
MIKE LE CAPLAIN PRODUCTION EDITOR
] 2001 MGF 1.8i
Hoping that this unseasonably warm autumn weather’s going to last long enough for me to get a few top-down drives in before winter arrives.
JON BURGESS NEWS EDITOR
] 1993 PEUGEOT 605 SRDT
Got the 605 out of retirement during a recent unit clear up. It’s fine – albeit dusty – and all of the parts that I collected during lockdown are now stowed safely in the cavernous boot.

] 2000 PEUGEOT 306 1.8 16v Initial reports are that my exhaust leak was just a dodgy clamp – in hindsight that would explain the banging noise from under the car.
CHRIS HOPE FEATURES EDITOR
] 1980 TRIUMPH TR7 FHC Chuffed to report that the new alternator seems to have done the trick. Easy starting on a morning and a healthy reading on the voltmeter.
I’d call that a result!
RICHARD GUNN SENIOR CONTRIBUTOR
] 1995 VOLVO 960 3.0 estate Big six-pot Volvo has been MoT’d, so in its final days with me. Its scary petrol consumption could kick the fuel shortage crisis off again.
