So... the CRV has bared its teeth again. I can just about hear a very slight exhaust blow somewhere near the front of the system. As it keeps raining, I'm not getting much opportunity to find it. I've had the worlds worst cold for the last couple of weeks. Couldn't taste or smell anything but was ge...

I've got about 70% of its history. Still piecing the rest of it together.DodgeRover wrote: ↑Thu Jan 23, 2020 8:38 pm That is lovely, do you know any of its history?
I like Marinas - like so many everyday cars they were everywhere then just faded away.

Re: Greetings

This example was bought new by a retired fellow who had always bought Morris products. Was driven about 5,000 miles a year until his dea...

Re: Best ever real world car?
Hopefully Greta Thunberg & Co aren't reading this.... Toyota Hilux Surf SSRX 3.0TD auto (Jap import with no Cat convertor). Bloody lovely. Cavernous interior. Made my twice-yearly jaunt down through France and Andorra into Spain and via Barcelona and Madrid to the Costa del Curry'n'Chips an abso...

Re: Wobland Spottage
Nice! I live not too far from you but with the exception of the Mini I've never seen any of those before. I think the Mini comes from your side of town. The Triumph is a Bromsgrove (ish) car. The Oxford and Singer both belong to the same chap, nearer Kidderminster town centre. The Singer is the new...
