Re: ?

Chuffing great 1990s motorhome mirrors instead of rear-view cams, a 1980s Space Invader for a front end, roof periscopes from Uncle Don's Humber Sceptre-Sprite Alpine combination and a windscreen flatter than that of a Renault 4 with which it appears to share roll angles too.

Re: You park like a cunt!

It is like that every weekend evening outside all the shitty foreign takeaways in town, they line the street leading to the dual-carriageway, double parked, up on the pavement and hurling car doors open without looking. I would tell the Old Bill about it but it is the same route the Traffic Police t...

Re: Stupid questions about motorised conveyances

I'd stick £20/25 in it and give it a go.....Maybe get some input from any of the Jag forums though as I am only speaking from personal experience. Like I say, the Chrysler LHS is a 1990s EFI-fuelled V6 of broadly similar layout and it didn't cause any running issues.
