Junkman Posted July 24, 2017 Author Share Posted July 24, 2017 A glorious barouche like this requires a wardrobe of scratchy synthetic fibre clothing in a variety of dull earth tones and a soundtrack rich with wa-wa pedal. The temporary guardian of this tremendous locomotive deserves an award of some kind, the Order of Distinguished Shite Ownership; it will look like a Feu Orange air freshener to the uninitiated but will be made of swarovski crystal and faux carbon fibre. Are you suggesting I can't wear yellow trousers and listen to the Blues in it? Ghosty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somewhatfoolish Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Chicago blues can haz wa-wa, Memphis not so much because acoustic. These guys are winning in yellow(ish). flat4alfa, Sudsprint and Junkman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sloth in a bowl Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Are you suggesting I can't wear yellow trousers and listen to the Blues in it? Yellow trousers are definitely in, I think the tunes could be a bit more funk than blues though. ...unless you have a New Orleans number plate Junkman and eddyramrod 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flat4alfa Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Where can we create the biggest chaos? Chasing about Trigger's workplace would be a start. It will be just like a film, what with the squealing tyres circling the shipping containers. Gunshot sound effects optional.Not only that, Trigger himself could* assist with any overhead camera work. Felixtowe might be put on the Hollywood map. I am looking forward to this. danthecapriman, eddyramrod, Junkman and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like advertising 'front wipers'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 Brake servos, or front disc brakes, were extra cost options.So were electric wipers until ca. 1965.Radial tyres were an extra cost option up to about 1980. So, now you can start slagging off the yanks to your heart's content. But bear in mind, if you would live 400 miles away from the nearest twisting mountain road, what would you rather shell out your dosh on?A handling package, or straight line ooompf? Do you need electric wipers in Nevada? Or would you rather go for aircon and a heavy duty radiator? What do you need power assisted brakes for in Illinois? You need crossplies there, to get you over the ruts in the roads without spilling your drink. The nice thing was, you had the choice.You could spec your LTD from Dogdish, Montana, Baptist Church goer, to Louisiana Bayou moonshine runner, and every imaginable flavour in between. I guess mine is the former. I once had a '76 Olds Ninety Eight, bought in Spotweld, South Carolina, or some other godforsaken shithole there I can't remember.It had a Rocket 455 with dual exhausts, cop spec Hydramatic, export grade springs, rear anti sway bar, power disc brakes, 3 row radiatorand 235/75 radials. South Carolina is famous for two things - good White Lightning and fast cars... Ghosty, eddyramrod, Cavcraft and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
