danthecapriman Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 Met Dan today as arranged, and we went for a ride in Huggy once we'd seen off our burgers. I think he liked it...Dam right I liked it! How could anyone not!? Plenty of passers by seemed to like the pair of the yanks parked up together too. Great to see you again Eddy, just a shame the weather wasn't as nice as last time.The Mercury got covered in road grime on the way home. Gives me an excuse to wash and polish it I suppose. eddyramrod 1
eddyramrod Posted May 13, 2017 Author Posted May 13, 2017 It's Saturday today; Eurovision night. A year ago on Eurovision night I collected Huggy! I took him to work today by way of celebration (any excuse...) The Moog and danthecapriman 2
danthecapriman Posted May 13, 2017 Posted May 13, 2017 We need an anniversary photo!I can't believe it's been a year already. eddyramrod 1
eddyramrod Posted May 13, 2017 Author Posted May 13, 2017 I might just do that when I take the dog out in a bit... danthecapriman and purplebargeken 2
eddyramrod Posted June 9, 2017 Author Posted June 9, 2017 Here's that anniversary shot I promised....And I've just realised I never posted any pics from the Portsmouth trip! So, here we are at a service area on the way down...Meeting the chairman of the A40 club on our overnight stop at Banbury...Very disturbing Audi the following morning!I let the Tesco Poles give Huggy a bath before going to meet DanDoesn't he look at home there!We occupy a lot of car park between us...The point of the trip was to celebrate our granddaughter Elsie's first birthdayAnd then on the Sunday morning I dropped in on the Facebook group that meets at Port Solent... (random selection follows)This was across the road when we went for Sunday Lunch...And that was it, really. Huggy behaved very well, turning in an average of about 18mpg, which I thought was good enough. If you've been reading CCB you will know I had to get the lights looked at upon return, as I had alarmingly few working headlights! Now this happened during the brief period when we seemed to be obsessed with breakfasts, so I did take a few pics of same. The craze appears to have passed now but I have them if you want them. CGSB, Junkman, danthecapriman and 5 others 8
danthecapriman Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 I remember that meet up well, it was windy and cold! Still, good company and great cars. eddyramrod 1
Felly Magic Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 Music for Eddy & Dan cruising around Fat_Pirate, danthecapriman and eddyramrod 3
eddyramrod Posted June 10, 2017 Author Posted June 10, 2017 Don't know if this link will work, but it came up at the end of the cop music vid Felly posted. Someone's gone to a lot of trouble there and Dan and I should do something similar (with more car action, because we can)!Felly, thank you for the SFPD unit there, btw! Just like my old copcar! Felly Magic and danthecapriman 2
eddyramrod Posted June 10, 2017 Author Posted June 10, 2017 I've shared it with Mike on Facebook too, we might be able to do something featuring his Lincoln, and another friend who has a 66 Ford Galaxie. I'm always up for silly games like this! danthecapriman and Brodders 2
Felly Magic Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 DO IT!!!!!!!! Sgt Ramrod, a cop on the edge...of senility chaseracer, eddyramrod and danthecapriman 3
eddyramrod Posted June 10, 2017 Author Posted June 10, 2017 Nah, I think I must be the low-level pimp getting chased. My car has scars already, a few cardboard boxes and a balsa-wood prop gate wouldn't hurt it any further! Felly Magic 1
59Impala Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 I wish i had some pics of the 73 Cad that I owned briefly. It was £200 as it didn't run properly so I swapped some American parts for it. It was a lurid lipstick pink and it was fun. We found the source of the running problem which was a trapped wire that was shorting out and did some miles in it. There were a few adventures, it got assaulted by oiks in a Mk1 Escort (this was back in 1984) but the Cad retaliated by er, ramming said Escort and wrecking it. All in all that was an interesting night! I can't even remember the number plate, only that it was 'T' reg and when sold on got painted white. eddyramrod, danthecapriman and AMC Rebel 3
Felly Magic Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 Ramrod does sound a bit pimp like, you are right Eddy. This has to be done, it would be comedy gold, JM could be the shouty chief cop
eddyramrod Posted June 10, 2017 Author Posted June 10, 2017 In a Renault 16? No, he's the charming foreigner who's actually the mastermind But at least he's sitting in the right place! Junkman and danthecapriman 2
danthecapriman Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 Junkman could be the head villain, like a mafioso mob boss type being chauffeured in the Mercury. Until gets jumped by some rival gangsters in their Caddy! A chase ensues before everyone gets into a shootout with the cops. We need a yank cop car, some quiet industrial streets (so we can drive on the correct side of the road without being killed!) and as many other old yanks as we can find for 'traffic' and other gangsters cars.Who's going to play the maverick cop? Harry Callahan style! eddyramrod 1
eddyramrod Posted June 10, 2017 Author Posted June 10, 2017 We had a copcar in the fold. PBK sold it, it was the Mercury Sable, ex-me, ex-BTB, that BTB dressed as an NYPD unit.
chaseracer Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 Who's going to play the maverick cop? Harry Callahan style! There is only one choice: the hirsute Brummie gumshoe in the leather hat... INSPECTOR DOLLYWOBBLER! 59Impala, danthecapriman, Junkman and 2 others 5
danthecapriman Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 We had a copcar in the fold. PBK sold it, it was the Mercury Sable, ex-me, ex-BTB, that BTB dressed as an NYPD unit.Of course we did! Shame BTB sold it though. We could buy one... eddyramrod 1
danthecapriman Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 This is ideal!http://www.ebay.com/itm/1977-Plymouth-Fury-/272599486612?hash=item3f78321094:g:TekAAOSwHHFY~7p8&vxp=mtr eddyramrod 1
eddyramrod Posted June 10, 2017 Author Posted June 10, 2017 It so is! A gen-yoo-wine Hazzard County copcar! And just think, I had a proper black-and-white and let it go.............. Saying that though.... I have a friend in southern Illinois who has a 1968 Plymouth copcar he has restored himself. He must be due a vacation, mustn't he? danthecapriman 1
eddyramrod Posted June 10, 2017 Author Posted June 10, 2017 You know what else we're going to need..... a litter-strewn alley to drive down at high speed, whipping up the papers! danthecapriman 1
alcyonecorporation Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 I have driven this fine Salford Rolls Royce. Around Windermere. It was fucking difficult. eddyramrod and chaseracer 2
Felly Magic Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 You need to find a car park that you can drive around in circles until you feel seasick, and cause tyre squeal at about 6 mph eddyramrod and danthecapriman 2
eddyramrod Posted June 10, 2017 Author Posted June 10, 2017 Yep, got one of those, no problem! Jon, what d'you mean difficult? You want to try those roads in a lorry! All you need is a bit more LHD practice, really.
Felly Magic Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 The original Carkeys & Clutch theme doesn't quite cut the mustard music wise for the type of show
eddyramrod Posted June 10, 2017 Author Posted June 10, 2017 I don't agree, but in any case, there's plenty more ready-made music. All the production team has to do (all, he says....) is agree on a style. Blaxploitation? Big-band? The world is our lobster. Or perhaps Barracuda
Junkman Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 And since when are R16s not appropriate for rozzers? danthecapriman, mercrocker, Uncle Jimmy and 3 others 6
