I take it you never asked the basic politeness questions at school... because frankly  that’s just rude and shows a lack of understanding.

Ive had it reported, but to be honest I’m not removing it because I think it shows everyone exactly what sort of person you are.

@antony denman you keep posting fella.

Hi Anthony, having experienced similar shit at school, I totally get where you are coming from. 

As regards the Translation* I'm reminded of a phrase my friend uses:

"Other people's opinion of you have nothing to do with you" 

Please keep up the good work in the garage, looking forward to reading more about your projects! 

Kind regards, Stu 👍 😎

C'mon guys, we're all on the same team here, don't let's have a battle or a thread closure, life's too short.

I agree. @antony denman keep up the good work you are doing in the garage. I wish I had the skills to do more maintenance on my car.

Hmmm.

Looked at Antony Denman's post: thought "chap's dyslexic" - and properly dyslexic, not the appropriated label nice middle-class parents use to conceal their disappointment that their spawn is actually thick.

Looked at New POD's post: thought "Hmmm... the Dunning-Kruger is strong here."

As someone else has said - Antony, you keep posting. I understood your post.

I am a twat. Sorry.  It's not like I don't have family who are dyslexic either. Which makes it worse. 

There's me thinking I'm funny, when in fact I'm not.

Don't beat yourself up too much, we've all said things at some time that we regret

[bunglebus]

The Cortina is an interesting one. Silver Lotus? Of course the reg isn't shown so what's the deal?

Don't know if they had specific chassis numbers/strengthened shells like the Escort Mexico

The one in the side panel seems to be for checking the condition of the inner sills.

Yes, seems to be the answer to those questions.

http://www.lotuscortinainfo.com/?page_id=24

Export Heavy Duty GT shell. Battery in boot plus mountings for anti tramp bars. All Lotus chassis numbers start BA91.

I suspect at sometime in the past somebody typed “ Lotus” after the word Cortina on a logbook and it came back as such from Swansea, remember Mark2’s were Ford Cortina Lotus not Lotus Cortina like the MK1. Also it was very easy to change what the DVLA recorded on logbooks, either through local offices or just Swansea’s laziness.

I though the Mk2 Cortina Lotus (A car I prefer to the more popular Mk1) was offered in a variety of colours?

You are correct they were available in a variety of colours.

We bought the van 30 odd years ago after finding it in a hedge. It has been stored outside since then

Jeez that van would have been better off left in the hedge.

When they say ‘stored outside’, presumably they mean ‘MoD firing range’

[NorfolkNWeigh]

Unless there’s something on this that isn’t fucked and fits a Rancho , I can’t even begin to wonder why there are 3 bids.

That's a lot of money for four hubcaps, two tail lights and a headlamp.. Oh, and one door handle.

WTF.

Made £255, somehow, but ok

Then almost immediately relisted. 700 Buy it Now. WHAT!!!1!!

[Datsuncog]

Bugger, them ol' Reddit speculators must have got wind of this one. Expect prices of completely fucked Simca vans to reach £6,000 by tomorrow night, £170,000 by Wednesday, £5.3 million by Friday lunchtime (when Elon Musk announces his revolutionary new iFucked eSimca), then back to £255 by this time next week.

Way of the world, innit.

[sutty2006]

Fuck is wrong with people? Why is everything found in a hedge, back garden, canal listed as “barn find”? Are people just thick ? 

[face]

Yes.

[jakebullet]

Are we allowing runway* finds? £750 gets you:

Cessna 150 Shell For sale Would make a great garden feature or project of some sort *Other parts for this plane are available at extra cost* Sold as seen

With a bit of tlc I'm sure it would crash land again.

[jakebullet]

Can you help me, I've got a flat?

Tyre?

No, car...

 

MG MGB barn find, does have an engine, don't know much else about it all questions please ring or text the number, will break or sell as a whole.

[High Jetter]

It's already broken, ffs
