Lockdown Drive around Cardigan in a Citroen GSA

[@lesrogers7310]

I would suggest that the furthest parking spaces are actually favoured by those hoping not to get dented body panels.

[@Graham_Langley]

Exactly - I always park as far away from the store entrance as possible, which is usually where the staff park. No parking dings so far on a 13-year old car.

[@jeffhughes1318]

I've driven the Mrs nuts doing this for about 20 years.

[@Radfordperson]

I always park like this, the extra little bit of exercise can't be bad!

This is your job now, the lockup is your work storage. You are absolutely entitled to go and fetch tools or to work within the lockup, especially if you are filming!

[@HubNut]

Yes, I could claim that, but with no facilities at the other end and a 100-mile round trip, it's not really something I feel I can justify. If the unit was nearer, then no probs.

Citroen GS - a more complicated and (marginally) less rusty version of the Alfasud! :-)

[@Gundamzerowing1]

Actually the Alfasud is the faster, slightly more rusty version of the GS Alfasud being 1971 and GS having come out a year earlier. *swings semantical debate in the air*

Lovely. The skies are so clear everything looks beautiful without the chaos of normal life going on. Shades of New Zealand indeed.

[@mattw8332]

The GSA makes a lovely sound. Cardigan is a pretty town. Re: Aldi. Since my local one has restricted the number of people in their store, it's become a more pleasant place to shop.

[@dogwalker666]

Except you have to queue around th car park for 40 mins to get in.

Thanks for creating this - I know it's difficult with only past recordings of unique wiper action and stuff, but still it's good as a filler.

[@worldofrandometry6912]

I don't see the harm in giving the car a little longer run out while shopping as long as you don't interact with anyone else or be involved in an accident or breakdown.

[@luciensanchez6451]

Im enjoying buzzing around the village in my little citroen ax in the sunshine for daily essential shopping trips!

[@CaptHollister]

Following a knee injury that preceded the beginning of lockdown in my part of the world, I'm in my 8th week at home. I'm very fortunate because I work from home during the better part of the day and in the evening I get to spend quality time with YT. New Hubnut videos are always a treat. Keeps me from going stir crazy. Also fortunately, non-essential trips are not outright banned yet, so once every 2-3 weeks I take the cars out for a warmup and a spin just because it's probably not ideal to keep parked-up for long periods.

[@billybellend1155]

Every time I do a shopping run I always drive the long way round usually via the next nearest town. Strange times.

[@jamesrobinson9194]

Good stuff you won't be lumbered with repair bills and seized components once lockdown is over 😊

[@Andrew-tr5zg]

I went to the shops...via John o groat's!

[@welshman64]

Seymour Beaver why not you are only protecting the N H S . What have we been paying N I for .. get out, when the lock down is over more people with mental health problems., more obese people, lack of excersise. Where will they be going you guessed the Nhs.thats why lockdown will not work.

[@millomweb]

When we do a shopping run, we always drive the long way round - due to a lack of bridge across the estuary !

[@antonycharnock2993]

I've always done this before lockdown 10 mile roundtrip to Morrisons because the nearest one is too small and Asda is crap..

[@matthewgodwin3050]

Good for you Ian. It's about time more of us took a stand against this ridiculous house arrest. As long as we use common sense, keep to the social distancing rules of being 2 meters apart from others, and don't do anything stupid, there's absolutely no reason why we can't go out and enjoy the fresh air. Walking and driving about in the countryside isn't going to kill anyone. And not all of us think the situation is anywhere near as serious as officialdom would have us believe. My neighbour is a nurse, and she's been put on a two day week because there aren't enough patients and not enough work for her to do to justify keeping her on her normal full time shift patterns. Now, what does that tell you? Be safe everyone, but don't be too keen to completely give up your freedom. Just remember to use your common sense.

[@giddy2shoes183]

Thanks for that lovely tour of Cardigan. Spent many a happy family holiday in recent years, just up the road in Aberporth. It truly is a beautiful part of the country to visit and drive through and I look forward to heading back that way when all this madness is over! Thanks for all the content!

[@andrewmoorhouse687]

Forget to say Ian, great video. We stayed in Aberystwyth last year and came to your meet up, had the run on the Vale of Rheidol and Talyllyn Railways and came to the Museum of Fire and Power. We even managed to catch a musician, local to us, who was playing a gig there as part of the Steampunk weekend. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The drive over, round by Snowdon and Blaenau Ffestiniog, was just stunning. I’d forgotten just how lovely Wales is and how friendly the people are. Easy to see why you made it your home.

[@ThatLeeNoble]

I did a sneaky lock down drive this morning, went to the post office and took a de-tour home. Hehe.

[@superbracey]

I can't remember which parcel company it was, but about 12 months ago I was waiting in for a parcel. I saw the van pull up so I immediately went to open the door, just as the van drove off, to find a "Sorry we missed you" note had been posted.

[@frothe42]

I was born in that hospital. I went to that school. Nice place to come from and it's lovely to come back from time-to-time to visit family but I'm much more suited to London!

[@keithwelton]

Here in Welshpool Aldi is the easiest to shop in, no queues to get in. Although where I live is a tourist area I am not allowed to go camping 40 miles away on the coast nor drive to the beach yet there is no way of transmitting the virus by being in a tin box.

[@HubNut]

It's more what happens at the other end. Some will socially distance, others are idiots. It's not fun, but I see why travel is not encouraged.

[@keithwelton]

HubNut just like the flu you are going to get the virus regardless of social distancing eventually unless you are proposing a never ending ban on all foreign travel, all flights, all holidays of every kind. Many jobs it is impossible to have social distancing and just like flu this virus is going nowhere.

[@HubNut]

True, but the rules are all about slowing the spread, to prevent hospitals being swamped.

[@keithwelton]

HubNut The hospitals have not been swamped and media reports non Coronavirus treatments have been abandoned by patients leaving many hospitals underworked. From your videos it appears you have a live in partner, many do not and after over four weeks home imprisonment alone many are finding life very difficult. Nobody has yet come up with a method of sex whilst obeying social distancing. If you do please let us all know.

[@HubNut]

Do you actually know anyone who has been in hospital or works in one? I do.

[@ThermoNuclearLlama]

The missus and I stayed in Aberporth for our 4th anniversary and on our way there we stopped at this Tesco to get supplies. The weather was exactly like it is now, warm and sunny until the day we left. 10/10 would come again.

[@stevenjones19-m8i]

Hi Ian, great video,that was a brilliant drive round Cardigan,there is some nice buildings and seems a nice place to live,with the lockdown still looks busy on the roads.

[@percyprod6574]

I was born in Cardigan, left when I was 26 in 1975. Still got a lot of family there. Certainly changed a lot!

[@nakoma5]

It's funny because you would think that after months travelling New Zealand and Australia you would have had your fill of adventure and outings for a while. If you ever get the chance after all this clears up, a tour of Wales would be nice.

[@antonycharnock2993]

A North to South on the A470 in the Citroen GSA. Probably take as long as the NewZealand/Australia tour...

[@MrJay500]

you brought the sunshine back with you ian thank you

[@660einzylinder]

My poor old Ford Popular hasn't been anywhere because of the lockdown situation. I'm still working, on my own, in the middle of nowhere, so not getting cabin fever yet. That GSA seems quite nippy, and I do like the sound of that boxer engine. Keep up the good work sir, it keeps many people entertained in these strange times.

[@peterlawrence3152]

Every time I go shopping I go for a wee run in L200 to get the engine up to temperature then give her a little Italian tune up. It's essential. A few runs on the motorcycle on one off roading trip 3 police vans arrived but by then I was rapidly going into the opposite direction with a massive smile behind black visor. What could be more self isolating than driving on your own.

[@philmarriner5300]

My folks had a chalet at Cenarth so very familiar with Cardigan. Nice to see some of it again.

[@robingray1302]

Thanks again for another entertaining vid, nice roller at the end (small R....), apropos of nothing I was waiting in the queue at my local Sainsburys t'other day when I spotted a Peugeot. Not that unusual except it was a 403, not only that but a Familiale !!!

I have similar problems with DHL. Several times i've ordered something, usually car parts, stood and waited at the window, seen the DHL van pull up then drive off again without the driver even getting out the van. Contacted their main office who say they spoke to the driver and the usual excuse is "he said your house has a security door and he couldn't get in". Which always results in a fun chat with their customer services when i explain i watched him not even get out the van.....

[@donnageorge-henderson5419]

I think we all take a scenic tour on our rare occasions to the shops. I pull in for Pokestops if I can and rotate the cars so each car gets a spin. Roll on release day and we can all go cruising without fear 😎 Cardigan looks a nice town. We go shopping an hour before closing as no queues. We are lucky to have a huge garden with lots of jobs needing done and growing veg with gusto 😍 cars have definitely been our freedom and we used them for everything before lockdown 😎 stay safe dude

[@safetyfirst5917]

[@StevesMachines]

Whilst I'm frustrated with the trappings of lockdown like the ability to just drive to a specialist and nose through parts, I am enjoying the simplicity of things at the moment.

[@Zeem4]

I did a similar thing today in my Peugeot Expert. The black clouds behind it seemed to show it needed a good run - I've only been moving it on and off the driveway to give me room to work on the Grand Scenic. The last major job to do on the Renault is to replace the rear discs and pads and reassemble the electric handbrake, but I've been waiting for the parts since the 6th of April.

[@LeeTanczos]

Good to see you. Thanks for the quick tour - interesting.

[@fhwolthuis]

I don't understand that you driving to your shed and fetching some tools would pose a threat to anyone. As long as you keep your distance to any persons there is no problem

I can’t drive my ridiculous modern diesel cause I can’t run it long enough to keep the damn dpf from choking up, so its in a barn on a battery saver (ridiculous a car that’s only good if u can regularly drive miles at speed) my daughters little newish c1 however has proved charming comfortable but a little slow kinda made me think about the GS and how useful it is having a runabout - anywho I think were all going slightly insane at the mo, even my wife has run out of crap jobs for me to do so what better than a dose of hubnut.

Rob C I used to have diesels years ago, before DPFs were fitted. I dont do many miles now, so no use getting a diesel ever again. I saw too many DPF problems when I worked in a service dept for a main dealer. My next choice of car will be a long term purchase, so as long as the car is exactly what I want, the MPG figures are unimportant. Life too short.

Its not only diesel cars. I never saw so much carbatterychargers on driveways in my life. I also had to charge my battery in the shed.

KZbin shoved your review of the Austin Allegro 1100 deluxe up on my screen ( just watching it now) and I heard you say that you had a 1500 Vanden Plas some time ago. We had one given to us by an uncle. Ours was the dark bronze colour with the auto box, black vinyl roof and velour seats. It wasn't a fast car but was comfy. All was fine until the engine started to give troubles and the last straw came when it stopped completely. Discovered that the bottom end of the distributor shaft had fallen off into the sump. End of the road for that little motor!

You can get tesco slots by logging in on at say 11:40pm to avoid the login queue's then at a few minutes past midnight click on book a slot then click on home delivery to see the new dates appear on the far right of the dates,its the very last date shown that your after. Sometimes the new dates don't appear straight away and then you have to click on book a slot then click on home delivery truck picture again to reveal the new dates. Whatever you do don't click refresh as you will end up in a queue and you won't get a slot by the time your logged in again. The delivery slots are for in 3 weeks time though as all the previous dates have been taken. Asda i recently logged in about 5:40am in the morning to get a slot and half of them were gone so i suspect a login time to see the new dates after 5am-5:30am. But still deliveries are for a few weeks time from now if you get one. Morrisons the same log in before 6am to get a slot for 3 weeks time. Sometimes you can get one much earlier with morrisons as someone can cancel a delivery and it shows up straight away in the delivery slots,so keep checking throughout the day. With tesco the cancelled order don't show up straight away. Iceland is good for getting one in the daytime and just a few days ahead too just keep checking throughout the daytime. Free delivery from iceland with orders over £35 too. Hope this helps for everyone.

I have never been to Cardigan, I must say it does look a nice clean town.

Gotta love the sound of an air cooled flat 4 boxer :-) I've only just sold on my 79 GS Pallas :-)

Stayed in a cottage just down the lane from the Internal Fire Museum a few times and visited, love that area, so quiet on the roads .

TESCO-Supermarkets are also in Czech Republic. A fine range of goods and acceptable prices.

Smashing little shopping trip video, I've never been so eager to go for the weekly shop, I might become a secret eater so we can go more often.🤫 The GSA sounds a real fun little car and can't wait to see more of it. Stay safe Mr Seabrook.

Looking forward to your chat with Robert from Aging Wheels. I hope that you are able to do some kind of collaborative video with him at some point in the future. HubNut Does America? :)

Hi Hubnut. On charging matters, I have known the charge light on the dash to light up while the battery stays charged, and it could be that one diode in the alternator has died. This sort of thing can also zap the voltage regulator, which can lead to overcharging and cooking the battery. I have a piece of kit which I recommend to multiple car owners for monitoring their charging systems. It's a digital voltmeter which plugs into the cigarette lighter socket. I just checked eBay and thesedays they are still available and dirt cheap, and now all seem to come with USB charging points as well. Re charging voltage, in the old days, 13.8V - 14V was ideal. Thesedays, the non-topuppable batteries prefer a higher voltage, no less than 14V and usually around 14.5V. Cheers.

Thanks. I do have a voltmeter, but sadly, like everything else, it's at the unit. The 12v power outlet in the car doesn't work at the moment. Another thing I'd like to use the voltmeter to explore!
