The Green Lean Machine - 1974 Ford LTD Leaving the GGG

[Asimo]

This car makes as much economic sense now as it did back in 1974.

Haha, imagine that being a serious car advert! Hilarious!

[Felly Magic]

You need to bring it to Suffolk, it's bloody raining here, East Angular does make Lincolnshire seem slightly normal though

[Crusty Sills]

When is collectioning happening?

We need moar pictures and words!

[Felly Magic]

Knowing Junkman, just when fuel prices spike

[Junkman]

Right.

 

It's getting serious soon.

Collection commences tomorrow morning.

[Felly Magic]

Time for some theme music

 

[danthecapriman]

Why do I get the feeling this won't be as simple as - drive to sellers gaff, hand over queens faces, burble back home!

 

Can't wait to see how this goes, and more pics of the LTD.

[Junkman]

I actually do seriously hope it will be that simple.

 

 

Did you know that this thing is cheaper to insure than the Jag?

[Felly Magic]

Does it have an 8 track fitted?

[Junkman]

I don't know whether such poshery is installed in my povmobile.

It has a radio, which is unable to pick up any stations.

[danthecapriman]

I actually do seriously hope it will be that simple.

 

 

Did you know that this thing is cheaper to insure than the Jag?

Mine is my cheapest car for insurance. I guess old yanks are assumed to be low risk (and not out on the roads very often!).

[Junkman]

One of them will be out on the road for quite a bit tomorrow.

[eddyramrod]

Two will.  Huggy's going to the Lakeland Motor Museum tomorrow morning!

[spartacus]

I must be almost as excited as you are. My girls and I have just been reviewing the pictures and drooling over that interior, (figuratively, not literally).

Good luck on the collection.

[Junkman]

It's a 400 mile round trip, I got insurance, half a pack of cigarettes, no gas, no sunglasses and it'll be daylight.

[eddyramrod]

That's so going to be arranged, like.

Where can we create the biggest chaos?

I don't suppose your route brings you anywhere near me this morning?

[Cavcraft]

There'll be huge queues everywhere you go as every man and his dog slow down to gawp at it. Hope the collection goes ok, hundreds of pictures, please!

[Junkman]

Breakfast.

 

[panhard65]

Breakfast.

 

You are off to collect a yank barge and consider that the correct breakfast ? It needs more bacon and maple syrup at least. Good luck with the collection I don't know if you are coming down the M5 but it is fucked yet again north of Bristol so expect long delays.

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

Uh oh

 

[Captain Furious]

Has the cigarette lighter stopped working?

[Skizzer]

What have you done to my lovely reliable Granada?

 

Good luck.

[Sloth in a bowl]

Uh oh

 

 

 

Isn't it traditional to break down on the way back from a pick up?

 

I am confused

[Ghosty]

It had an incontinent radiator when it showed up in Glossop on Tuesday. 

I fear that may be relevant.

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

What have you done to my lovely reliable Granada?

 

Good luck.

We noodled your water pump.

[Skizzer]

Oh, well, as long as it's nothing serious.

 

[danthecapriman]

When I had it, it used to occasionally drip from the waterpump bearing area. There was a new pump in the boot when Skizzer and BV picked it up. I'd planned to change it but never got around to it...

 

My fault!

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

We have a problem.

 

 

 

Weather's lovely here.
