  1. Any better in Welsh ? No, thought not. Not sure if a graphic designer got paid oodles of monies for this or if it was the result of an age 4 to 6 schoolkids competition.
  2. Bins? Euwww - there's posh - we get this four 'thing' collection this week:
  3. +1 Herald too https://www.jamespaddock.co.uk/heater-valve-delaney-galley560612 ??? We had two things you could pull out of the dash on my Dad's - the heater control and the choke. One worked, the other didn't.
  4. It's been dropped £200 - another 11.5 weeks it'll be free
  5. I think it'll go at that price - if it wasn't a saloon I'd be tempted myself but (1) we need four seats and room for various dogs (2) SWMBO is frowning over my shoulder
  6. This was on Anglia Car Auctions site with a BIN of £2,500 before they punted it through the sale last night. Bidding started at £1500 and stalled at £1800 - they've still not lowered the BIN https://angliacarauctions.co.uk/modern-auctions/2639-17-Apr-2024/5753~1-2010-jaguar-xf-s-luxury-v6-auto 2010 JAGUAR XF S LUXURY V6 AUTO, 98K miles, "Coolant low light on" Motorway Muncher or Hanger Queen?
  7. Totnes though - you have to wear Jesus sandals and hippy clothes 🏳️‍🌈 The £60 a month tax is a bit of a crippler but the price tag - tempting Just whacked it through an insurance comparison - higher than an SLK for me? Weird
  8. Ahhh - yes, you have me there. 15 love - I'm pleading age and early morning squinting
  9. Got a job there once as an extra - not on a Bond Movie though
  10. No idea [edit] Spy Who Loved Me - best bit in that was the 2CV cutainraiser chase and Sheena Easton in the credits. Have the driver Woolarding
  11. Rover 25, low mileage but no MOT (last one suggests maybe a little frilly underneath) Swansea £300
  12. Any supermarket car park (other than Lidl) seems rather full of the German stuff these days - lucky my wife has a Bini. Oh, hang on.....
  13. That light covers a multitude of sins - Sprog now drives hers armed with an ELM327 and an iPhone app (MAF glitch) - saves her visiting the old people every other day
  14. "90% complete MX5" not too far away, I wonder what's missing? £500 Hmmm, maybe not
  15. That rang a bell in the old grey cells - haven't seen one of those in years - had a look at HowManyLeft - maybe that's why - 49,000 back in 1994, 104 today
  16. Define 'old' young person ? Physical age or state of mind I'm 61 - I was in Glasgow at the weekend for a wedding and felt rejuvenated after seeing masses of (much younger) people barely able to walk around their own circumference without getting out of breath. And, as for boogie stamina? Meh. The grump: went to the venue in a pre-booked cab (rather nice Skoda thing). The guy goes all around the houses to get from West to East end of town. Eventually, I realise that he's getting directed by a satnav talking to him in his earbud thingy and he's no real idea of where he is at. He then clinches the deal by turning to me and asking "It's Glasgow Green, isn't it? Whereabouts?" "How the fuck should I know? Last time I was on Glasgow Green was 1986 and you were a glint in your father's eye" I bit that back (my child bride dislikes public swearing) just bared my gritted teeth and pointed at the bridal car - "that way". We walked back to the hotel......
  17. I liked this one quietly photo-bombing the Land Cruiser
  18. There's a second example being repurposed bottom right of the picture? (Can I quietly say that I actually like the look of that Corsa?)
  19. My wallet smiled changed from around a 30 mpg Montego estate to a 50 mpg BX - 150 miles a day, five days a week. Even at 1995 prices I was happy. (But yeah - unrefined diesel by today's standards. Changed jobs and swapped it for a V8 Range Rover. Which leads us to the next fact opinion: Land Rover: The Best 4x4 By Far (best said in a plummy accent for full effect)
  20. My dad's first car (down near Stranraer) dissolved in about two years (I think) grit and the sea air got to everything. They grit here a lot and it's plain when you a get a 'city' owned car and compare the subframes/disc brake shields. 75 has replaced the Ovlov 940 and I'm liking the upgrade - more comfy - I do miss the badermatic but the Keeper of The Purse Strings is happy as it's way, way more economical - almost into Bini country which means I'm excused pouring the two of us and all the holiday clobber into a wee car
  21. Aye - you'd lose that on the bump in the middle of our single track council road here (Bini scrapes the air dam going downhill on it). For a LHD is is selling well UK Spec one - eBay ends today too, BIN £10,500 and if I were Topol - 2007 model, currently £8K
