  1. Looks great, have never been there could probably do this one and the Cotswolds (Burton on the Water) one on the same day.
  2. I have had a few cars like that, they only caught me out once
  3. Presumably second name will not be Interceptor, although Healey would work.
  4. But it already has a water-cooled engine
  5. I'd check up on that one. The private sewer transfer regulations from 2011 mean that once a drain leaves your property it becomes treated as a lateral drain and is maintainable b the sewerage authority. If more than one property is connected it is treated as a transferred sewer, again maintainable by the sewerage authority.
  6. Please go to the tip towing that trailer behind your Bentley
  7. The two that spring to mind, that I will never have the chance of again Firstly a Bristol 405 that I could have had as a straight swap for my (not very old) Triumph Spitfire. My father talked me out of it telling me it was an old man's car (I was 19) A Swallow Doretti, I thought I had agreed a deal and to collect at weekend, the seller took a higher offer in the week. The list of things I should have run away from is much longer.
  8. I remember my father changing our coal/wood fired Rayburn to oil in the 1970s, when oil was "cheap". My mother was happy as it was less work. Oil got more expensive and when my sister inherited the house she never had the central heating burner on. Just the one for cooking and hot water, it still drank oil. About 15 years ago she had a new firebird condensing boiler put in, it was a revelation using a fraction of the oil. She moved a few years ago and the new bungalow is still oil (no gas in the area), but it is still well insulated that it doesn't need much heating and has electric solar panels that offset her consumption in summer.
  9. I remember a dealer (possibly the importer) down in West Wales
  10. Little known is that he was colourblind. Also the raspberry beret was actually orange and the purple rain was grey
  11. I'm sure Mr Sheene had slot mags on at least one of his Shadows
  12. "You told me to pack everything, you didn't say not to pack the keys for the plane"
  13. Well done for being braver than me. I briefly considered one several years ago, but came to my senses and bought a Range Rover 4.2 LSE instead. ( which was its own disaster, but that's another story)
  14. Given the size of the trailer I'm dure you will be collecting a couple of others as well
  15. I was wondering if someone could just buy it and have a go (get someone else to tow it across a field to get it airborne), or is that not allowed these days?
  16. I know, I rushed out earlier and thank goodness there were still some left in the shops, so I bought four.
  17. I would have said that had Barrett's name written on it, but it looks like someone pressed too hard on the back wing with the pen
  18. You can keep the terrifyingly complex coupe but I do like the estate.
  19. I saw one of those in real life, the hood was down and it was fitted with some aftermarket seats, it looked like the driver was sat on the lavatory.
