Gentlemen.... replace your engines!

I'd forgotten all about Slick 50, but my previous Scirocco (an '83, bought in about '88) had a sticker on it

claiming that it had been treated with the stuff by the previous owner.

Brill, thought I.

Until I was obliged to get rid of the car at just in excess of 100,000 mile for it had no compression.

 

I have never connected the two until now, but have had many untreated cars that have done much greater mileages.

So is he. Allegedly.

 

Google "quentin willson coalville" & "quention willson clocking" - some info there that han't been removed from the 'net for quite some time .

 

Still, Buying Cars was good in its first few years; the comment "I have walked among the lowest of the low" in one of his editorials has new meaning now we read what happened in 1988 in Coalville magistrates' Court .

I think Slick50 has teflon in it, which gets stuck at the bottom of the bores under the pistons, and generally fucks engines up.

 

I too saw Quentins piece. He will say ANYTHING aslong as someone is paying him.

Willson's sole job seems to be to generate revenue for the trade.

 

I remember him doing a TONIGHT programme a few years ago, where people needed his advice because they had taken on motors they could'nt afford to run ( the new labour era).

 

He basically encouraged them to get rid for cheaper to run alternatives, but no mention was made of the financial hit the participants were going to take when getting rid of their guzzlers.

 

The programme was not about saving money, it was about flogging the public new motors.

Last night I was reading one of the classic mags that old Quentus Willsonian has a column in. It was about electric cars being useless.

Stirling Moss..........rent a gob. [allegedly]

 

 

Aaah, the mottled shortarse. There's something not quite 'right' there.

 

I like the Peter Best insurance ads where they're sat verrrry close together and look as if they're advertising geriatric same sex marriage. Given that Moss was advertising some treatment for hard-on issues*, Pete Best will be the giver in such a scenario.

I went to the Trafford Cattle Market yesterday evening (to find a Rapunzel Doll) and advertised on that huge screen they have was the driving school for 11 - 16 year olds....

 

QW is quoted as saying "This is a marvelous step forward for road safety!"

 

Teaching 11yr olds how to joy ride successfully at £60/hour per lesson?
