Datsuncog Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Giffer trinkets, you say? Look no further, squire. Sadly I can't offer any of the items themselves (maybe worth a hoke in the far corner of an abandoned dealership for that Skoda pewter tankard?), but the catalogue can be yours for the price of postage... pshome, somewhatfoolish, Junkman and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldcars Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I'm reposting this because I keep thinking about it, and the pictures need to be saved for posterity. s-l1600.jpg s-l600.jpg I don't think there's another item in this thread with a higher shite density. Amazing tonal mismatch between car and style of clock faceshit photo of car...printed on the curve of the plate so it's distorted ugly bend on second hand to clear curveacres of blank spaceclock mechanism mounted upside down so you can't even hang the platebaffling title including a mis-spelling of the word "clock" to keep it out of search resultsseller doesn't know if it works, because how could such an item ever be tested?listed in Men's Accessories > Wallets I just took the time to mot check that Maestro.

Parky Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 How the heck are you supposed to hang that clock? It looks as if there is a hook attachment for a screw/nail but it is (1) at the bottom of the mech (upside down)(2) not central So if you do hang it using the integrated hook, the clock will be upside down and at an estimated 50 degree angle. It is so shonky I would expect it to catch fire when a AA battery is added (provided it doesn't just fall straight out) VERDICT - One of British Leyland better efforts Junkman and Talbot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobT Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Come on then, who's going to buy the Meastro clock? It could be the prize at Shitefest that nobody wants to win. If it were a 99p start I'd have a go, but the seller seems to think it's worth 10 quid minimum.

Awesome bit of kit, those Sakura radios. And you can select from Long-wave, Medium-wave, ummm... Mega-wave, Multi-wave and Micro-wave. Which ironically may make it more attractive to potential tea-leaves... Agree with you on the modern head unit issue in older cars; at least electronics manufacturers seem to have got over their 'OMG it's the year 2000' trip and stopped making everything in silver plastic. Some moderns are reasonably unobtrusive, as well as amazingly cheap new (sub-£50 netted me a decent Pioneer last year). Do you have an era-correct radio and 8-track for the Doloshite? Personally, I'm worryingly fond of the flip-down cover for the stereo in my Laguna. I just prefer not to see the head unit at all, if I can help it. captain_70s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
