What happened to ToMM?!

I do rather like Bristols, as it happens. As for the car company, it;'s a real shame that it's finally going. They were pretty fugly things but I would have one if I had the money.

Drive away for £200, the cheapest of cheap shite thread

That looks strangely appealing in all white. -
How is having an obnoxiously loud exhaust morally any better?

Annoyed at myself for sitting on my arse today and yesterday when I have a list of things to do!

Cor, now you're talking. CLASS. I found my 45 to be better built inside than my 75. -
Oh dear God, please, do we need a mention of these in every single thread?

Maybe he needs the money for literacy lessons. -
I always thought the front indicators looked awkward on the mk1 45, but assumed it was done because it meant the metalwork didn't need changing to accommodate the facelift from the 400. Apparently though the wings do differ between the 400 and 45, so they paid money for it to look like a cheap and hasty facelift. BMW did the same thing with the 3 series of the era too for some reason.

I thought the E10 thing had happened a few years back TBH, I remember reading about it when I had my first Panda and that was... 2010?

Love a 75, Wedgwood is one of the best colours along with black IMO. I wanted a 75 from when they were launched as an 11 year old and got one when I was 21, a 2.0 v6. Was a case of not meeting your heroes for me, I was a bit underwhelmed with it. Traded in an early 45 for it which I did about 20 or 30k in. Had the 75 a year and did about 5k in it before trading it in for a Fiat Panda. I deffo got more fun out of the 45 and Panda than the 75. They're supposed to have legendary handling but I found it big and boatlike, having said that I mustn't really like driving big cars. The Getrag box didn't like being hurried or it would baulk and the 2 litre isn't that quick anyway. I used to get 25 MPG driving like a saint or 20 hooning it/around town. Sounded glorious though and looked great, it was really a car I was proud of owning. Was a good car though, the only thing that went wrong was bits of trim falling off (driver's door handle surround and kick plates all round). The build quality of the 45 was actually better.

Has the national speed limit been reduced to 40 MPH and I've missed the news? Always stuck behind some bloody massive SUV doing 40 and randomly slowing down to 30 odd for absolutely no reason, clear road, conditions ok, etc. Overtake and 50 yards down the road you're in the same boat. I know it's a limit not a target but if someone driving a Honda Jazz, a car with absolutely no power or torque at all, thinks you're going slow, you're just being an arsehole. Also said SUVs with those bluey- white headlights on unlit country roads. How the fuck are they legal? They might be ok on the autobahn but on twisty, hilly roads the person coming the other way might as well just close their eyes. If there's an Evoque, etc coming round a left hand bend or uphill towards you it's like having a soldering iron shoved in your eyes.

EuroCarParts - It's a Discount Jim but not necessarily as we know it.

My local factors are shite, never have anything you want in stock and it's a 3+ day wait or they just say no. The parts are ECP own brand level dung at top whack prices too. I've never had wrong parts from ECP either. -
Christmas music in the shops. Fuck off man. I feel for anyone who has to listen to that BS for another 6 weeks, I'd be bringing a massive hammer to work and smashing the audio system.
