Re: Weston super Mare Pageant of Transport, March 30/31st 2024

I've been watching some of the Little Britain repeats, that certainly wouldn't get on T/V now :lol: Surprised the repeats are on :? They were out of favour for a while. From Google: "In June 2020, the show was removed from various UK streaming services due to its use of blackface. In March 202...

I have a, ahem, GCSE English <sips from glass of bubbly and titters in drawing room> Whats "Bubbly and titters" ? This reminds me... A panda walks into a café. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air. "Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the...

Re: Where is everyone from?

I've been chatting to you this guy a little via PM and I'm waiting to see the GT4 once he's ready to show it - I know they're pretty basic Capris but I love GT4 decals, think they're some of the best they came with. My decals came the other day actually. There was one in the Classic Ford magazine i...

Re: Where is everyone from?

200bhp is plenty in a Capri! I had a turbo technics once and that was 220...more than enough. People go for power and its undrivable! Mine is great and a joy to drive. The weight issue isn't a problem, most American stuff is Alloy, just my block is cast iron. It's lighter than an Essex v6. Parts ar...

Whenever I see Weston Super Mare written down, I always get Rik Mayall's voice from Bottom in my head saying it in whichever episode it was... "...Weston Syooper Mare! :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOajo9qYoM8 Did you know that guitarist Ritchie Blackmore was born in WSM? :lol: :lol: :lol...

Re: Weston super Mare Pageant of Transport, April 30/31st 2024

Pardon me, but how does the location being "used recently" relate to the 30 and 31st of next month? Some vehicles went there last week and got bogged down and had to be recovered due to rain.... and that magically means the same location will be damaged 60 odd days later so it's cancelled...

This is down t...

I think you'll find that should read: "a couple of other things you need to get hold of are: full stops and commas."
