  1. There's 9 copies on ebay today for a tenner each https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_sop=10&_svsrch=1&_nkw=jalopy+magazine&mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e11021.m3197.l1150&mkcid=7&ch=osgood&euid=56e933b784024066805c3a6880bc9d59&bu=43132799590&ut=RU&osub=-1~1&crd=20240310011916&segname=11021
  2. I just won an unexpected issue 3 on ebay yesterday. I always bid to keep the prices up, but surprisingly received an excellent copy for just £7.75 Inc postage.
  3. Our half wit, defrocked ex Conservative MP Andrew Brigden has been handing out general election flyers today. Meanwhile Sunak continues to deny May election,.
  4. I didn't realise that Visa doors fitted a Safrane. Is it like the French version of ADO 14 & 17, or NSU K70 & RO80?
  5. I've not MOT'd my bay window van since it became historic & tax free in 2019. That'll do nicely.
  6. I've only experienced a column change on the '89 Trabbi that I owned. Although I appreciate that the cogs & dogs that I was shuffling around were very small, it was lighter than a featherlight thing and I made a point of shifting using just my little finger.
  7. Has it ceased to exist because of crash regulations?
  8. @Jazoli Not sure at all and am happy to be corrected, but my tyres are fucked way before they should be.
  9. I don't think that any tyres are designed to last very long at all. The MOT stipulates 7 years max, and I've just replaced the set of four Hankooks that I put on my Rover 75 as soon as I bought it in July/August 2019. I suspect it's something to do with the fact that they are made of recyclable shit rather than the proper rubber and infinite-life hydrocarbons like they were in the good old days.
  10. Booked in first thing on Monday, job should take a week. Thank Christ it's not something complicated like an AC70.
  11. And OMGHGF! That's a bit of a bastard. Split on him last night apparently. When asked for a price to repair, he said I could leave it with him. But it might not get done before Xmas. Hmm, I'm not saying that's a bit shit but... mg-rovermobilemechanics.com I'm off to speak to a bloke called Steve who regularly tears apart Audi V8s.
  12. My Rover 75 has been running cool with a higher than expected tickover, so I took it to a specialist. He switched on the ignition, pumped the pedal 5 times, counted to 10, switched it off and fired it up. Tickover sorted! The errant temp gauge is caused by a split in a hose by the bleed nipple right in the centre ov the V. That won't be sorted quite so quickly, but I've left the car with him...
  13. My kid brother has been banging on for ages about having bought tickets to see Bob Dylan. It turns out that Bob's tour is currently moving across North America and Cambridge corn exchange will be hosting Dylan, 23 year old electro pop artist, Natasha Woods. Nob
