Apologies for lack of reply, have been dead but a bit better now.
Got this and bonus Haribo to share with Wife_RML who is less appreciative of the stupendous Autoshite calendar.
Many thanks! -

Two wall hanging calendars wot are for hanging on walls please.

Pre facelift Rover P6, ideally an Estoura but a saloon would be fine. Converted to run a 3.9 litre EFi Rover V8 with a ZF 4HP22 or 4HP24. Probably uprated brakes just to be on the safe side but the rest left as stock as is practicable.
If there's anything left over it can be spent on fuel.

This has been quite the roller toaster of emulsions but glad to see that there may be light at the end of the toothache.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say K-jet is a perfectly reliable way of skooshing petrol into a hungry car's cylinders but making it electronic is the problem, since electronic injection is the work of Satan.
Anyway, hope it stops being a twat.

@rml2345actually raided this a couple of weeks ago and got some bits for me!
At least the bits that weren't rusted to oblivion...
It had already lost a wing when I showed up. It looked pretty good from 10 yards but up close you could tell it had sat for a very long time indeed and was actually a bit ripe in places. Unfortunately for @captain_70s it included all the really important bits he needed.
Sadly the mint interior was also of sod all use as none of the SVM have blue interiors or saloons.

Sure it's not the Pollock Centre?

Looks ace that, would happily stay there.

That all depends on who has the picture of the horse lying down.

Had your Z4 been parked in the sea? That level of corrosion to suspension components is quite impressive.

@catsinthewelderseemed to volunteer to hold it in Shropshire at one point…
We are the SVM, where is irrelevant.
You're right though, Cats did volunteer to host next year...

Due to a healthy bout of rising damp I've not been able to write anything but would like to thank @Sunny Jim for organising us this year and to everyone else who made me welcome despite the fact that I am excrutiating company.
Yes the diabetic man won the Irn Bru 1901, you couldn't make it up.
Pictures are still on the camera so if you just imagine some strange soggy men standing about talking nonsense and admiring mundane transport you've got it covered really.
When is next year?

It is 0328am o'clock in the morning. T-92 mins to departure.
Time for a cuppa.

The London services were hallowed territory for Eastern & Western Scottish, long service men on well appointed kit.
Summer Blackpools? You'd be lucky to get a panoramic Y-type Leopard with bus seats and forced air. At least they had boots 😂
Duplicates could produce anything as long as it would keep up, particularly as Eastern Scottish were always one bus short of a fleet. When they got their Seddons all muddled up some of the Y-Type buses with coach gearing would turn up on duplicates or summer Blackpools whilst the Plaxton bodied coaches trundled about on locals. Also, at least one Leyland Lion decker made it to Victoria...

Nissan had originally planned to call it's first small MPV the Dorma until the Italian government protested.
They instead called it Prarie because "Little House on the Prarie" isn't a country so no one was bothered.

Trip to the scrappies yielded not too much unfortunately. Some old shite kicking about though.
^^ That purple car above the MG is a Hyundai Accent.
^ Hoped I could get the wings off this ST170. Instead it's just as rotten as my Ghia.
P12 Primera. Still a bit shocking to the eye, but hadn't seen one for some time now.
Both yards are pretty old school, no H&S beyond "dinnae be a fuckwit" and cheap spares.
Furryboots was the 940? I could do with a pair of front wings if they didn't look too mangled...

1931 Gilford single deck bus powered by a Junkers opposed piston engine and front wheel drive.
Amazingly, nobody wanted to buy one so the double deck version (yup, the built two of the things) was converted into a front wheel drive trolleybus making it the only one of its kind ever to run in the UK (at Wolverhampton). Unsurprisngly, it wasn't a success.
Were Gilford not also a very early adopter of air suspension?
And to go back to Leyland tin fronts briefly; Edinburgh Corporation fitted a fibreglass copy of the BMMO tin front to their PD3s before bodying by Alexander.

It's almost like buses without big, vibrating powerplants that shake everything to bits and consume fuel, fluids and enormous amounts of time and effort are the future? A certain Walsall GM would have been pleased...
