Haha, but I think you'll find you can buy a whole county over here for the cost of a two bedroom semi in your neck of the woods!

Thanks, Andy.
It felt like it's been a long time coming and it feels great to be a member of the club.
Mind you, I wouldn't be surprised if the HMRC adjust my tax code to compensate for it!

Sorry, I can't help it.
I'm just so excited about saving £345 a year!

My car has been tax exempt for 6 days now!
I haven't got around to registering it as a historic yet though.

Yes, this Binny McBinface seems like a suitable candidate. I reckon he'll reinstate the weekly refuse collections too!
Where can I vote?

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

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?

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,

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