2 and a 1/2 parking spaces, must be keen to look after it.

Makes it's easier for the skip lorry to pick it up

Simon

just my usual parking

i'm not going to say a word

let me get this straight, that is actually your car and that is you standing next to it whilst someone took a picture?

and you then thought it a good idea to post it on this website?

what sort of feedback are you expecting?

I think it makes a lot more sense than wings on the back of front wheel drives where all the forces generated tend to unload the front wheels.

Please tell me that isn't a 1600

I'm almost ashamed to say I've had a couple of Bluebirds.... I inherited a 1600 with very low miles when I was at university and I have to say it realy wasn't that bad if a bit underpowered. Someone then virtualy gave me a ZX Turbo which was most entertaining in a 'I'm going to kill you' kind of way

Hi Barry

Them stripes must be worth 5 bhp at least

Never heard the term Barry Boy before just boy racer. Nope not a 1600 though the other one is, just a 1800 auto. Not a fast car in the slightest though very quite (about 30kg's of soundproofing added) and extremely comfy on long journey’s which it was meant for. I just love stripes on a car and had about 5 cars with them.

People take cars to seriously, they should be fun...

best thing for it is use the adjustable trailing arms at the rear for a locost. The good bit is you need to destroy two bluebirds to get enough of them

I do like the suspension at the back, very light.

no no no no no !!! thats scary, and a bluebird of all?!

that car missed its date with the crusher many years ago


only joking im not that harsh, its your car, your decision lol


Matt

So,.........

There he is, I was searching for the last Bluebird on earth......

Finally i can find me sleep now....

BTW: i drove a Toyota camry custom wagon for four years. You'll get over it.

Now i'm driving a Audi A4, let's wait and see if the german car is better......

How on earth do you get it over speed bumps?

Your rear track control arms make great adjustable rear arms for your locost

I thought your were joking about the track rods! Nice one they are well made.

There are at least 6 bluey's on the go in Aberdeen, use to be a fleet of taxi's only 3 years ago. I think that one is in the best condition of the ones I've seen. I'm not a fanatic fan or anything, just enjoy the car.

Yip some speed bumps are impossible to get over but I know where they are and just avoid them. Had thought of using a pneumatic piston powered by the engines vacuum to raise and lower it.

I took the car to a show last year with a friend, certainly got a lot of attention and even had a photographer take pictures though I don't know what for.
