Inspector Morose Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Izusu (naturally). Yeah, the site isn’t the best but I think it’s one of those long term projects for the chap that he started when websites were simpler things and he’s concentrated on the content, not fancy bells and whistles (or even making it a bit more straightforward to navigate) Hats off to the fellow. It’s an absolute gold mine of info. Lacquer Peel, Nicola H, The Reverend Bluejeans and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierraman Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Unlike AR Online that’s an endless comment on Brexit, road tests of new Astras or the salesman guy going on about winding customers up.

The Reverend Bluejeans Posted November 14, 2018 Author Share Posted November 14, 2018 The HB Viva development story is epic. British stylist shows Bill Mitchell the HA replacement. Mitchell says 'this is shite', takes British stylist to lunch, and gives a young Aussie stylist three hours to come up with something. When they came back from lunch, Aussie stylist has come up with this, the best looking two door saloon made in the sixties. The HB Viva really is a pretty thang. bangernomics and Christine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Reverend Bluejeans Posted November 14, 2018 Author Share Posted November 14, 2018 To think, the Great* British Public really preferred the Austin A60 and Mark II Cortina to this. Bizarre.

NorfolkNWeigh Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Maybe I'm missing something , but does anyone know if there's a Ford equivalent to Vauxpedia and AR Online ?There's even a Rootes/Chrysler site, but I've never found anything similar for Ford, lots of individual model club sites( mostly shit) and Turbosport for the old Skool racist/ Superlites type stuff.

The Reverend Bluejeans Posted November 14, 2018 Author Share Posted November 14, 2018 Turbosport for the old Skool racist/ Superlites type stuff. They're " fine with 'gays', as long as they "don't shove it in your face". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierraman Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 The Ford one would be full of bullshitters going on about how their uncle has a Mondeo Cosworth in his garage and all that bollocks. Any site dedicated to post 1980 Fords will have some right helmets on it. I’d join a lot of the Mondeo ones but having looked on them they attract a lot of the type you wouldn’t want to find in your garden at night. bangernomics, Rusty_Rocket, The Reverend Bluejeans and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, look at the modern Vauxhall crew now, the VXR headbangers. The guys into early Rallye Sport Ford stuff are a better breed than the semi literate Fast Ford reader.

artdjones Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 The HB Viva is a nicer car to drive and more refined than a MK1 Escort 1.1 or 1.3,unless the Escort was a Sport or GT.It would be nice to try out a Viva with the Brabham conversion.

quicksilver Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I've known about that site for a while and already spent far too much time on it. The look and feel isn't the best but it makes up for that with loads of truly fascinating and well-researched content, the opposite of so many glossy modern sites that are all style and very little substance. My three favourite things so far are the FWD V8 Cresta (utter madness), the FD Victor coupe (should have built that with a V8) and the Opel Commodore cabrio.

Bradders59 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Thats my evening sorted then. My first car was a Viva HB (not much choice s Dad was paying, and it was a Vauxhall or nothing), Just over a year later I had a Chevette HS. Later had a Viceroy, two 24v Senators, and ten (I think) Omegas.My current Omega will probably be my last Vauxhall though, unless I get rich enough to buy another Chevette HS or a Lotus Carlton.It was bad enough that their recent cars are utter shite, but now the brand is owned by the French, for fucks sake.

Bren Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 The Pc Cresta and FD victor should have had a V8 like the opel diplomat. The vauxhall everybody should aspire to is a Royale saloon.
