sutty2006 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I’ve seen a jag done out like that at a banger track for parading the winners of certain races around.

Zelandeth Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 The fact that we seem to be seeing more Proton Sagas turning up in apparently cherished condition these days rather than just run into the ground makes me far happier than it probably should. I still would really love to actually run one as a daily for a while as I've always liked the look of them and enjoyed the one I had as a "field" car prior to passing my test. Wasn't actually a field car...There was a couple of mile long fully paved private road belonging to a farm about 100 yards from our house, and we had agreement from the owner that I could drive up and down there to my hearts content provided I didn't get in the way. So my "field" cars were actually just as well looked after as though they were on the road normally and contrary to the case of most cars belonging to a 13-17 year old, most left my ownership in better condition than they entered it. I always saw them as the next generation of the Ladas. Simple, robust, comfy and just generally competent. I rather expect I'd need to pay more than the £20 I paid for G499ORS to get hold of one these days though!

HillmanImp Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 Few spots from the last couple of weeks. I was at the garage the other day and they a chok full of rammell. SAAB 96, Midas Gold, Morgan, Landcrab Rally car, Volvo 244, Mk2 Cortina and about 20 minis plus several others I've forgotten. Fucking brilliant. Feel a bit rude taking photos to plaster over t'interweb though. Shite Ron, noseypoke, Austat and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here it is turning up at a timber yard in East London to pick up some wood. A job for which it is ideally suited. adw1977, Austat, worldofceri and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
