Re: Wobland Spottage

Lovely Granada but look at the bloody size of that Polo next to it. I can remember when they were small economy cars.

Re: Found pics

There have been one or two 2 door PA conversions, must be a bugger of a job. Maybe best to buy a '58 Belair or Studebaker Champion in the first place?! That Wolfie'd Jag reminds me of one that was in Custard Cart or similar back in the Seventies. Flared out like that one, I have an idea it was call...

Re: Crash! Bang! Wallop! - Eddie Honda Shirking His Duties Edition

Lane hoggers are fucking idiots as are tailgaters. I've lost count of how many times you encounter the hoggers as they trundle along quite often with their noses seemingly pressed against the windscreen looking terrified.

Re: EBay Finds

Buick looks nice and straight, however an eight litre motor? Hmmm, unless it's been fitted with a 455ci/7.5L motor that's been played with I would doubt that it's eight litres. Such a engine would also require some upgrading of the brakes. I like that it sounds nice and turns heads, that's probably...

Re: Found pics

The estates are so rare aren't they? I can't remember the last time I saw one especially a Gazelle. Regarding the Snipe being on the telly I wonder if it was supplied by the Rootes publicity department, they were pretty good at product placement for films and TV back then.

Re: EBay Finds

That's an ideal car for The Festival of the Unexceptional. It looks pretty clean too. Aren't they a kind of Astra/Cavalier in drag?

Re: United States of GRIZZ - Just how random do you want it?

Very entertaining, I am now reminded that I have some old licence plates etc that need to be put up in my garage before my Impala comes home, not that I know when that will be. I shall have to summon my odd job man forthwith. Actually just remembered he's coming here on Monday to put up two LED ligh...
