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. chaseracer, SmokinWaffle, Stevebrookman and 6 others 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R1152 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 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. antony denman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. bunglebus and Low Horatio gearbox 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
