    Lothian Sports Cars always worth a look too. Remember seeing a couple of 501 Elites there.

    BavarianRetro got a reaction from Angrydicky in The Mighty Sherpa (LDV etc)   
    I did some work at the LDV factory in about 2002/3. The death throes were in full spate. Employee dissatisfaction and theft was such that everybody's car was being searched on the way out, except if the employee you were visiting had prevously bunged the gatekeeper.
     
    British industry in a microcosm - people with nothing to hide were spending ages waiting to get searched and the car with the boot full of laptops and servers goes straight through!
     
    Directors ran XK and XJ8s with private "LDV 1" style plates, but there was no money to fix the heating in the IT offices.
     
    They were building Pilots and Convoys, I think. They went mental if you referred to them as, "Sherpas".

    Get a life, there's reasons why you finding a vehicle for £100 is/are difficult and if you can't work them out for yourself them that is your problem. Try spending less time posting and dreaming online and more doing a day's work on a building site and get another £80 cash then try again, obviously the additional costs of insurance, collection, tax will stuff your £100 budget laaaaaaa laaaaaaaaa etc etc.............................Would some Mod shift this thread to it rightful palce?

    In amongst all the vile name-calling and the cesspit of abuse that is the Dark Wob, a classic car was described as a car that the neighbours were envious of. Shite was described as a car that the neighbours despise and a modern was a car that the neighbours didn't notice.
     
    I may be paraphrasing slightly, but I thought it was a decent definition.

    I was one of the critics of moderating the open forum. I'm prepared to give it a go. Hopefully most of the other dark wobbers will be content with a foot in both camps too. A split diminishes both.

    Can't we have a separate Invacar section?
     
    Obviously, you'd need to ask to be allowed in there too.
