I count one in that photo. How many do you guys see?

Andrew.

Have you seen the Good Beer Guide 2024? Bruce Dickinson wrote the foreword and it's in Maiden font 8-) I like his brother David's work better.... :lol: Bruce's cousin Rob (ex lead singer of 90s shoegazers Catherine Wheel) founded the company Singer Vehicle Design that sells re-imagined Porsche 911s...

This is getting spooky!

Andrew.

This has not sold in about 5 years now.. maybe more. Weird how some cars just do not sell. Tbh, I'd be put off by the seller's attitude. I think it comes across as extreme arrogance to list in the advert reasons why they won't respond to certain messages. Gives totally the wrong impression from the...

I wonder if the 666 plate could put some potential buyers off?

Andrew

Do you think those cushions tilit upwards to allow people to actually get in? Imagine trying to get an elderly relative in the back seat!

The best way to protect occupants is well known...



Andrew.

Interesting safety developments there, and it's incredible that the car survives to this day. You'd think development/testing mules like this would be destroyed once they have served their purpose.

Andrew.

All the visual detterents like disklok, wheel clamp etc will do is slow down anyone that wants the car, sadly if desperate enough they will have it :( That is also how I see it. However, I do believe that we should add as much security as possible to protect our cars. Hopefully that will be enough ...

Great find!
Nice looking example, the colour scheme looks good. I do like the Mark 2 Granada.

Andrew.

According to Motormobil, the engine code for the 2 litre V4 is EV20. Sadly, I think you might have difficulty determining the source of a spare engine. With the Pinto, for example, there are multiple codes depending on displacement, the production year and compression ratio. This appears not to be t...

A warm-up for other events later in the year!
I take it that's at the Re:Fuel cars and coffee meet in Cullompton?

Andrew.

Nice little gathering, and it's good to be able to get out and about so early in the year.
Your XR looks fantastic!

I think we shouldn't try to run before we can walk. Let's get the technology on self-service checkouts to work properly without manual intervention before working on AI that can give a summary of product reviews....

Andrew,

That's as indecipherable as the lyrics to "Louie Louie" !

You'd think that anyone interested in a product's rating would actually want to read the reviews, not just a generic summary.

I saw the heading and thought, finally!!! Bright orange respray & Black vinyl roof.........




John...

First post in two months and it's a corker!
Hope you're keeping well, John.

Ten times the price of a garage sofa!

Andrew.

Edit: speak of the devil, he's uploaded a new video and the very first vehicle is.... being dragged out with it's rear wheels locked up! Nice MGB V8 about half way through the vid. :D It's funny to see the MGB wading through the flood, then the next car is a Mercedes G class SUV that does a u-turn ...

Seems reasonably priced to me.....

I know, there was one fitted to a Chevette I had in the early 90s. The sunroof must have been the deluxe model as it came with an integrated shower that I could take advantage of every single time it rained!
