Closer still then. I'm in Temecula.

Well you had better live in one of the sprawling new subdivisions and not some fucking tasty bit of vineyard heaven or I am gonna have to hunt you down.  I was out there about a month ago cos work was pissing me off and I couldn't think of anything better than to go and drink champagne (sorry, sparkling California wine) instead of working for the day.

How about the best free car you were offered but didn't/couldn't take?

I was offered a Jensen Interceptor for $1,000 and a free XJ40 as a package.  But the woman that lives in my house and tells people she's married to me said "no."  Some hitherto unknown rule about the amount of cars a man can own at any one time was cited as the reason.

The owner then sold it to some fucker that parted it out. 

My feeble protestations that I could sell the bumpers for more than the purchase price fell on deaf ears - she claimed I was lying and would never sell it... which is a fair comment I suppose as I was lying.  But fuck me - a Jensen for that money, and a free shitty Jag - WTF?  Just coz you've got one doesn't mean you have to behave like a cunt does it?

I also gave my mate a 2200TC P6 before I left the shores of that green and pleasant land.  Last I heard he scrapped it - ungrateful bastard.

This was my first car in the US (not this actual one, but one like it)

'78 Chrysler LeBaron Town and Country - and yes, I bought it on purpose.  I made a declaration in the pub before I left that I would seek out and buy a station wagon with fake wood panelling - and everyone knows you have to abide by drunken proclamations.

Here's the Rover in it's current state of repair/disrepair.

At the current rate of progress it should be on the road about a day after I die.

Close - I am down in the OC but Long Beach is just around the corner, so to speak.

 

Show us your shite 

Ooo eer, well I hardly know you... but how can I refuse when you put it like that?  Oh yeah, and ta for telling me how to post pictures - it's so much easier than having to figure it for myself.

1980 Vesper P200E, fully restored and now being used to balance things on in the garage - probably not the best use of it, but, hey ho.

1970 P6 - the Merican version.  Ignore the burnt bits, I am sure they'll polish out...

  The missuses VW

  My first new car - not looking so new these days, but still running strong.

Some random cunt parked in a disabled bay - well actually more like he abandoned it in the middle of the car park.

My daily driver - CNG Crown Vic

  The missuses other VW - sadly she never drives it though.  That's the last time I buy myself a car under the pretense it's for her - that'll learn her.

  Not a car, and not mine, but why not?

Can't remember how I found this forum, but I noted liberal use of the words shite, pikey and other naughty words - I think I'll like it here.

There's probably an easy way to post a picture of my motah, but I am too dimwitted at present to figure it out... I hope I don't need to open a photo sharing account coz that's just too hard......

Pleeze can I look at the pictures I am not allowed to look at now?
