Re: Alcohol in fuel

The 3 main parties are a shower of :turd: so expect nothing different unless Reform or similar gets voted, and even then I wouldn't hold my breath as they all seem to change their story once they get in :roll: I would never be surprised to see the tax and MOT exempt scheme scrapped (even if they lea...

Re: Waterless Wash & Wax Products

I was using a sticker gum remover the other day, a quite aggressive solvent, and it started taking off the matt paint that was on there since before I bought the car. So I kept rubbing and underneath was this lovely deep lustrous original rosso red. So well preserved you wouldn't believe. I'll take...

Re: I'm in Wales..

Nice find MT :cool:

My dad bought a Mk3 Sceptre (Hunter shape) in 1974 and kept it 6 years, that was the longest he had ever owned a car. Nice cars and I imagine the earlier Humbers were good too, nice bit of luxury and reasonable prices now if you can find a decent one.

Re: 1986 Laser on ebay

It looks like a nice car, although I'm surprised that the previous owners have kept the original invoice, but not all of the paperwork that would support the claims of a reasonably low mileage. Andrew. :agree: Andrew. A service book and receipts etc don't take up alot of room, but amazes me how man...

Re: Gas Monkey

I started watching this a few years ago but I soon went off it. Don't watch many American shows at all. I've watched most American and UK car programmes and they pretty much all follow the same format, sensible mechanics/fabricators and the dicks that think they are funny. So I watch odds and ends ...

Funnily enough a mate with a lovely Fiesta Supersport won the award last year but dropped out of the show the day before, so I said if I win i'll look after it for him until next time :lol:

Re: 1985 Capri 2.8i Special

When my car spends more time in the garage than out, I've certainly thought 'what's the point' on more than one occasion, but when I drive it on a nice dry day that's why it stays with me :) I admire anyone that uses their classic on a daily/weekly basis in all weather and I know opinions differ, bu...

KGF = Strong money, but as always it will sell and set the bench mark for all future sale prices!

Sadly poor cars get overpriced too as the owner/seller thinks that they're something they're not :roll:

Re: My old car

High prices ruin everything right down to spare parts, and although it would be nice I would never take for granted the value would increase on the car I own, and those owners that do well go...
