THIS WEEK IN OUR FLEET...

DAVID SIMISTER EDITOR ❚ 1990 MAZDA Eunos Roadster

Debating whether to take it with me to the Wirral to Llandudno Mini Run, even though it’s not a Mini!

JAMES SADLIER MANAGING EDITOR ❚ 2003 PEUGEOT 406 Coupé

Discovered that one of its recently replaced tyres has a nail in it. Not a great start to the New Year…

MIKE LE CAPLAIN PRODUCTION EDITOR ❚ 1977 MG Midget 1500

Idle is a wee bit low, so it’s out with the Haynes Manual and a quick game of ‘hunt the idle screw’.

JON BURGESS NEWS EDITOR ❚ 1993 PEUGEOT 605 SRDT

Stuck in the office car park until I can persuade it to start; battery currently flatter than a Dutch pool table.

CHRIS HOPE FEATURES EDITOR ❚ 1980 TRIUMPH TR7 FHC

New Year run wasn’t possible this year, so I’m planning a drive to Yorkshire this weekend to make up for it.

CHARLIE CALDERWOOD STAFF WRITER ❚ LOOKING TO BUY

I’d snap up plenty of the cars I saw for sale earlier this year right now, but pickings are slim at the moment.

NICK LARKIN EDITOR-AT-LARGE ❚ 1960 AUSTIN Cambridge

Christmas outing visiting places near Peterborough. Have promised it regular exercise this year!

RICHARD GUNN SENIOR CONTRIBUTOR ❚ 1989 SAAB 900 Turbo T16

It’s the Saab’s 30th birthday this year, so it needs to return to the road, having been out of action for over a year.
