  2. The £5k Ford you always promised yourself? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/252434130787192
  3. Is that perhaps because in Germany they are purchased privately, but in UK they are almost all "company cars" and this is reflected in the care they receive from their first owners?
  4. That Talbot is ace! It must have been stored in perfect conditions to look that rot-free. Is that an XUD engine?
  5. “ Ramrod was the designation for any British light-bomber raid on a specific target in occupied Europe”

  7. Changed the van’s heater resistor pack after unpleasant grey smoke poured out of the Connect’s dash. I was expecting the worst but guessed heater fan and turned it off and the smoke faded. I don’t know what made it fail but it melted a hole in itself and in the duct it is fitted into. Amazon delivered a replacement in less than 24 hours and the job is done. What should have been a half hour job turned into a ten minute job because everything that can be removed from the passenger side of the dash was already gone because I have been chasing a water leak. The hole melted in the duct can stay. Odd to have this fail, last repair I did was to Mrs Asimo’s Vitara heater control, just days before it was sold. That one failed because the heater motor seized - quick unsieze and lube required. The van’s heater motor was fine, but I lubed it anyway.
  8. 1989 Rover “mini 30” brochure 1975 Australian market brochure http://www.minipassionmini.50megs.com/pdf/Mini S 1975 AUS.pdf
  9. Not wrong at all: Escorts should be base or be fast. “Escort” and “Ghia” together makes no sense.
  10. Pretty sure that they are both! In the ‘80s there was a shite-condition blue one kept on the side of a road near Symonds Yat which gave me both the obscure + the aircool-rules wants every time I saw it.
  11. I used to look after vans full of satcom kit. Not this one though. Another fun technology slipping into the past. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/624096516275987
  12. I think that is a really good idea.
  13. Fascinating to see the mythical Monica pop up again. Well remember reading and re-reading the Motor Sport article on the Monica project. Deserves a Jay Leno budget to return it to the road.
  14. ‘Shiter’s motto!

  16. Truly modern steam? Nuclear kettle, steam turbine, electric transmission.
