You gotta love The Pinto...
So watching an episode last night ( 3am!) of Wheeler Dealers Dream Cars and low and behold halfway thru this popped up as one of Mike's trade up deals !!!!! The reaction of Mike and 'Elvis' at the end had me jumping off the sofa and punching the air too.

Did he really say he paid £1500 and wants to double his money? I'd better clean off the spare engine, even without the carbs its worth more than I realisedFordoholic Nick wrote: ↑Fri Nov 27, 2020 9:31 pm So watching an episode last night ( 3am!) of Wheeler Dealers Dream Cars and low and behold halfway thru this popped up as one of Mike's trade up deals !!!!!

Re: You gotta love The Pinto...
So, Mike buys an engine of unknown pedigree for £1500, gets somebody to slap a bit of paint on and wants to double his money on resale. That really is wheeling and dealing !
Or just TV make-believe. An indication of how WD has lost it's way and isn't in the same league as Bangers and Cash.

Re: You gotta love The Pinto...
Yep ,I know someone who stripped a bunch of 1100 and1300 x flows and kept the waterpumps and threw all the heads in the offal pit.......till he found out the formula ford boys were swapping their kids for un butchered ones....worst job ever getting them back

Trust me it's better left in the field
If an honest man is wrong and after demonstrating that he is wrong he either stops being wrong or stops being honest

Re: You gotta love The Pinto...
Hey Hamish. Great photo fella. Love it
Isn't The Pinto horse just the most beautiful and stunning looking horse. Wow what an amazing creature. Even better than The Mustang in my view
Just simply a spectacular horse and very unique in its coluring with its white patches ......amazing...
Ps. Tom, go rescue that Pinto mate. Don't forget the carrots

Re: You gotta love The Pinto...
Just the 1st pic I found looking for "pinto".
I fecking hate horses ,kickin ,bitin, buckin things , nearly put my head up a horses arse once ,comming round a tight leftie on my Ducati, all leaned over ( like Rossi) knee on the white line and here's this fuckin donkey ( it was a hoss ) arse on, 1/2 way round the corner, most rapid change of direction I ever done .
