Jim Bell Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Some lovely views there man. Looks like a lovely run out. Spikey looks like he enjoyed it too. In as much as an inanimate novelty companion can look content and pleased, he does. Yes, Im assuming Spikey's gender. Sue me.

oldcars Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Spikey and I went on a road trip. We passed by an old garage. OMG, we have arrived already! There were bunnies. When they saw Spikey, they ran away. Our roomshite in our hotelshite. The roomshite has double standard. Not that anyone cares but i have that radio alarm clock too.

SiC Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Why are you guys always in such a hurry?I shouldn't need to answer this Mr Junkman, such a question should have an obvious answer to a good man such as yourself! However I will answer this for you in the form of a rhetorical question. Why would I want to spend any longer than is necessary in my modern plastic kraut, devil fueled, post-1986, 4 cylinder biscuit tin?

Junkman Posted July 9, 2018 Author Share Posted July 9, 2018 That's why one has a pre 1986 non kraut properly motorised conveyance, no? SiC, eddyramrod, They_all_do_that_sir and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiC Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 This is true. Your thoughts on driving on non-motorways has made me think about shedding the MatchBox TT and using the MGB as a daily for a bit. Just lacking the required number of cylinders. However the correct number of cylinder version is a bit out of my pauper paygrade.

Junkman Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 Same hotel, different alarm clock. Spikey wanted to go home. A ford was mercedesed. Water what you make beer out of. A fairly uncongested road lies ahead. Someone put something there. It's not that crowded out here. privatewire, Vantman, Sir Snipes and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conrad D. Conelrad Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Meridian was when ITV started to get shit. No, it gave us the fourth Ford to share a name with an ITV region, the Fiesta Meridian.

richardmorris Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Mr 6cyl was bold enough to ask me to cut short my holiday sur le continont just to photograph a page from a thirty year old Haynes manual. Well I ( almost ) did and drove him to drink too. Anyway, I can’t find his thread and I’ve copied all the wiring diagrams and thought they can go here as a resource. mercedade, Junkman and Mrs6C 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
