Cheggers

A quick Google reveals Minis have rear belt mounting points from 1981 on, with them becoming standard fit in 1986 to comply with the new* law.

Fair play to them, they're certainly grippy [emoji6]

Very true, but like with so many things the intervening years have been kind and now it looks spot on for the era.

Suzuki GSX250

That is a bit of a honey, takes me right back to my yoof.

"Burglarizing" [emoji37] The whole thing is horribly written.

I recognise the cop car; owned by @TheCarGuru on Twitter. Edit: Just noticed the white Saab too, definitely him!

It's been a while but had to get a pic of this old soldier.

TALOTA?

Driven one but somehow avoided ownership [emoji6] My nautical experience certainly helped.

I had to click the link to see what it is. Never seen one before.

The Scrappage Scheme has a lot to answer for...

MX-5 seats used to be a popular upgrade for Scimitar owners (maybe just the SE5?) as very few other modern seats are narrow enough.

Mr Bollox had a 132

I live in Port Solent and noticed the Beetle while.walking the dogs earlier - I used to have a '67 1200 back in the day. The car meet is going from strength to strength, usually with a good selection of "our type" of cars [emoji3]

One of our neighbours has FLOG ME (F10 GME?) on his Overfinch RR, FLOG MY on his McLaren, FLOG UU on his Fiat 500 and used to have FLOG OF on something else. The McLaren has "Life is measured in achievement not in years alone - Bruce McLaren" written on the plate. It's true, money can't buy class.

I had lunch there almost exactly a year ago...small world!

One-make banger racing?

Who the feck buys an 18-year-old Rover 45 on finance? [emoji2955] The sort of person that can't keep up the payments on an 18-year-old Rover 45, apparently. I'm amazed you can secure a loan on one at all.

It looks like he started at the back and got bored by lunchtime

Stay on top of this and heed any diet/ lifestyle advice. Kidney problems are horrible (says the stage 3 kidney disease guy...).

You can usually "cash in" a pension from 55yo. Ignoring physical wear & tear, almost everyone has some work or money related stress. It seems to be the less stressful jobs command lower salaries so you worry about money, while the higher paid ones take away the financial stress but are more pressured.

Early Carlton?

TVR Tamora. Probably made up of whatever they had laying around the floor of the trim shop at the time.

This time next week I'll be married and enjoying the wedding reception [emoji3060]
