Re: What did you do today?

As the MOT is due shortly on the Jag (it's booked on for Tuesday, nearly a month early as I don't like leaving stuff to the last minute, it hurts my brain... ) I moved the cars around after taking the mutts to their favourite spot firstly in the Merc, roof down naturally as it was fookin' lovely out...

Re: What Classic ?

Has anyone suggested the Triumph Vitesse yet? I think (though I have never driven one) they are the canine's conkers, they sound fantastic and with a separate chassis relatively long-lived. I do know that you can fit the crank from a 2.5 to get a BIG engine. I'd love one to be honest but I never see...

Re: What did you do today?

Nearly took the front off a Merc convertible this afternoon that the elderly driver, with the top down and wind in his long hair propped out from the side street so he could see what was approaching. Didn't notice any dogs in it, or were they hiding @xtriple !!!!! If the Mercedes was popping out fr...

Re: What Classic ?

We had a P6 V8 (ex Madame Tousard no less, complete with correspondence) and it was a fantastic car. My wife (the petite blonde) loved driving it even though she had a brand spanking new Matiz that was an okay drive and easy to park etc. I swapped it for a sodding BMW 2800CS which was a pile of (ver...

Re: What did you do today?

You should be down here enjoying the (near) constant rain and winds. You'd have no chance of hearing a noisy exhaust over the din of a flying dustbin barely missing the front of the Note!

I have barely even stuck my nose out of the door today, pissed right off with being fucking wet through.

Re: The Triumph Mayflower.

I'll echo what was said earlier, I've never liked them, but, I do like yours! It just looks like a 'proper' car that has been cared for and has survived the decades well.
