Re: EBay Finds

Perfect for a trans sahara adventure. Having just read the book Trek (as recommended on here) rather you than me though.

Re: Found pics

It just looks too small for Jag / Daimler and too tall to be a Jensen 541

Re: Sics Consolidated Faded Moderns Thread - 2003 E320 & 2006 Golf Mk5 GTI

What is it with ball joint splitters. 40 odd years I have been in this game and never used one and certainly would never use one of those forks. There is just no need.

Sorry given the choice the plastic pig wins everytime against a Golf. It is far more interesting to drive than a boring modern even if it is a bit shit.

Re: What did you do today?

Bought this last night. Not a bad old thing 1.4 petrol on a '57 plate. It belonged to a friends late father and hasn't been used for a while so needs a few jobs doing. They reported the clutch slipping on the mot but I am told it isn't (I think I will believe the mot tester on that one. Not sure if ...

Re: What do you keep in your car "just in case "?

Bloody hell you lot carry some crap about. I think the only thing that sits in my cars permanatly is an ice scrapper. Every winter I struggle to find one so just leave one in each car. Hopefully there will be a jack in the car if I need one, otherwise it is mobile phone to ring the breakdown mob and...

That is a lovely old thing, it's a shame the tinwork doesnt have the original paint as it has a lovely used look about it.

Re: What Classic ?

Kicking myself for missing out on the Practical Classics 3500 Auto auctioned at the NEC today. I'm not sure you missed much if that lot have been messing with it, though..... Yeap cars that have been through their hands are rarely any good and it certainly isn't a selling point for me. The Renault ...
