  1. Awesome spottage. I’m still grinning at both of them — but especially the Granada.
  2. You’re right, I did. I found it in a barn in 2011; @Dermist owns it now and has almost finished restoring it.
  3. Safety Devices are the kings of roll cages. They don’t list the 600 (or its Accord sister) for an off the shelf kit, but they do bespoke as well so may be worth a call? I dare say there are cheaper options, mind. Might also be worth DMing Richard Brunning on Twitter, he’s bound to know someone who does cages well.
  4. Woaft. That was one of my favourites from the Restoration Show last year — a still from the video here: Will follow with interest. My Royale is developing a few bubbles here and there from past repairs. I’m not thinking about them.
  5. Wooomf, superb purchase. A 2000ie HPE is my ideal Beta. Would.
  6. Thanks Cats. PM duly responded, I just need to try and dig out a suitable quality artwork file. I believe whoever did the original mugs may have done some tweaking. My only request would be that if there’s a profit being made, it should go to the forum running costs fund 😊
  7. I'm just jealous full stop. Excellent work and such rapid progress!
  8. Ha! I would never say anything bad about Dr @Kiltox’s videos or even his shirts — I merely pointed out that I’d mistaken his actual cat’s actual arse for a BMW iX, which could happen to anybody.
  9. Just been catching up on this - hats off, lots of cracking work going on here. Great stuff.
  10. Just seen your post about Emma. So sorry to hear this Daniel - I only met her that once when we bought the Sierra, but she was completely charming and obviously a top mate for going along with our mad escapade. Hope you’re doing ok man.
  11. It was great to catch up with @Six-cylinder, @quicksilver, @Slowsilver and @Zelandeth - and there were some cracking cars. I was also beyond excited to meet Harris Mann. I’m a big fan and he’s a lovely bloke, we had a really good chat. Absolute privilege.
  12. I have one (which currently lives with @RobT) but it’s not for sale. As seen here at FOTU. Do you ever sell any of the parts or do you just collect them? In fact, are you the bloke we met and chatted to?
  13. Same. There was a whole load of people I ‘know’ from here and/or Twitter - including yourself - who I either didn’t see or walked straight past because we don’t know what each other looks like. What a world it is. Nice cars though.
  14. Woah, hang on, is that your Laurel @Spottedlaurel? I knew I recognised it but wasn’t sure where from - I’d have loved to have said hello but you were elsewhere at the time, and I suppose it would have been a weird “do we know each other?” conversation. Gorgeous car. Those seats…mmm.
  15. Can confirm that the Rover looks, smells and indeed tastes DELICIOUS. Great to meet you and Mrs RoadworkUK in person!
  16. You don’t get many opportunities to be more beige than me. This is definitely one of them though. Has someone bought it yet?
  17. Oo, is that Royale a spares car Chris? If so I have CASH 2NITE M8 for the wheel centre caps.
  18. It is. https://youtube.com/GrandThriftAuto
  19. Have you timed it to the right top dead centre, bearing in mind there are two TDCs per 4-stroke cycle? It’s easily done, ask me how I know.
  20. Sorry, just saw this as I’m hardly ever on here any more. I drove basically past the Cylinders’ den the other day but stupidly didn’t have the foresight to put your tubes in the car when I left home. I’ll probably be driving to London at some point in September so we could maybe arrange something. They’re still safe and well! Edit: If/when this happens it should hopefully be straightforward for me to pick up @Coprolalia’s stuff on the way as well, depending on timings etc.
  21. I can’t go now, because I have to self-isolate because I’m not one of Boris Cunting Johnson’s jolly chums. If the corrupt shower of shitcunts decide to play any more games in their pissing war with France that’s already devastating the UK economy then I’ll have to spend two and a half grand being fucking locked up. Don’t get me started.
  22. I haven’t been on here for a while so missed this - the article in Classic.Retro.Modern is very good indeed, as is the rest of the magazine. Here’s the film in case anyone is interested and hasn’t seen it. It was a great day, lovely scenery and some cracking location scouting by Ben. I’ve always liked the looks of the 480 and was mildly concerned about the risks of meeting your heroes, but actually it’s a really likeable car and Ben’s is a particularly fine example. Huge thanks for letting me play with it.
  23. Oh my, that looks superb. You must be hopping with excitement!
