Re: Found pics

Strangely, I've never liked flared arches on MK2's or Wolfrace wheels for that matter. Coombes arches and wider spoked wheels, yes indeed!

Re: Stupid questions about motorised conveyances

A question for the more able-minded... at the service the garage reckoned that the brake fluid is '-1%. What does that mean? Fucked? If so I am a tiny bit more pissed off as it had a brake fluid change at the last service done by Central Garage, so just on a year ago.

Re: 1951 Pontiac Chieftain

with the price of fuel in the USA being so much less than we have to suffer, is that the best you can do, under a quarter full. I despair, you must look after MY car better!

Re: What did you do today?

Swapped cars, I like driving the Merc, it is still a pleasant place to be... and the sun was out so, roof off naturally. A lady I know (vaguely) was taking the mickey out of the car and how were two big(ish) dogs going to fit in the tiny little thing?

Re: What did you do today?

I had several 116's. a 280, 35-, 450 and 450 6.9! I loved them until I changed my allegiance to 126's which are a better car. My 280 was lovely the others, all seemed to like a touch of rust here and there (everywhere) and one of the 450s was a complete nightmare of rust under the factory-fitted bit...

Re: Building the Leg End. The Old Jag thread.

All the car dealers I knew (back when God was a lad) never used to lock their cars, they all reckoned that if the cunts wanted it, they'd have it away and broken glass was a pain in the arse to deal with. I of course always go against the grain and lock everything. Didn't work when the scrotes wante...

Re: Found pics

Everyone had a Parka back in the day. The sooner you got rid of the fucking thing, the cooler you were!

Crombie's for the win!
