Also have this one if anyone wants it, with its focus on speed it is ACTUALLY about the worst cars ever sold:
 

Hammer a larger wheel / council / electric vehicle / combi boiler / Vauxhall Corsa / Brexit thread over it.

Fitting an engine and then finding it's still fucked

Who in his right mind would expect a hippopotamus to corner like a squirrel?
If cornering fast is what makes you happy, do not buy a cement mixer.

That and even if I wanted something to corner flat, a Range Rover would possibly not be among my primary choices.
It'd be a bit like bringing a St. Bernard to a dog race.

Warwick Wright in London sold RHD A body Plymouth Barracudas direct from the factory. 

GOM thread? 

Schadenfreude mode. 

The cab driver who scraped my car last year and called me every name under the sun when confronted is sat behind the wheel of his TX in tears because it won't start. 
This is for every time you've woken me up revving the nuts off the thing 'because it needs to warm up'. No, moron, that's what glow plugs are for. 

Karma's a bitch, mate - isn't it? Had you had the decency to admit what you'd done at the time and stumped up some cash to pay for the repairs, I'd be out there with a boost pack giving you a hand. 
 
Awfully cold at the moment, so I won't be bothering, sorry. Sort yourself out. 

BUSES

Sick of the chuggers in town.
 
I should be able to walk to the bloody bank (300 yards) without having to face down a gauntlet of mither. Do I look as if I'm interested?
People shouldn't have to work jobs like that - it's a horrible way to make a living.

I'm late for work, spent an hour in the shower, now playing qotsa songs and need to buy some stuff on the way in, it'll be 10 by the time I get there, got loads to do and supposed to finish at 4 to go to physio
 
Today is going to be an arse

My take on this thread:
 
Junkman wanted a good low-mileage 4.6 engine and box for his P6 flotilla.
 
That he gets to use a P38 until the MoT runs out is a bonus.
 
I was really confused when I saw the start of the thread until I realised his game plan. I'd just have the pug parked nearby if I had a long trip planned.
 
The trip to the winter Buxton toy fair'll be fun.

Nah, what you want is one of those self-immolating Renault Trafic turbo ambulances, the perfect thing for finishing off burns victims in an emergency.
I'd have a lot of fun with a Sherpa V8 illness bus; I'd give it an hour before I turned it over.

WHAT?! I didn't know Quicks supplied Australian Fords!
 
If we're on about Yank stuff in Manchester we must discuss Bauer Millett. Saw my first Allante on Deansgate in the late 'Eighties as a little lad; it must have come from there.
 

There's one that appeared up at the Northern Bygones Rally a little while ago. I thought it was South African but the owner put me right. 
WW 'Cudas all seem to be of a similar spec / colour as well.
 

 

 
I also want to take issue with the tedious fanbois who claim RHD factory built cars like that WW Barracuda 'aren't proper Yanks.' Yeah, having a more usable American car with a steering wheel on the right side of the road for the country you live in is a right pain in the arse, isn't it? Delightful people like that would put me off joining any Colonial car club right off the bat. Vehicles like that WW Barrcuda were designed and engineered by the people who built the LHD home market cars - they're hardly butchering them with Sturmey Archer cast-offs in a shed.
 
Go back to your line dancing class in Burnley and speaking in a faux-down home accent. Nothing inauthentic about that at all.
