Possibly the cleverest part of this is where the bellend rep claims a 1.7 diesel Cavalier doesn't have fuel injection - exactly the sort of ignorance that his type would have displayed at the time.

Here's the 125p from the same brochure:

Junkyard Digs videos with farm equipment is one of my favorites.

Newest one

The algorithm found me a little gem yesterday: user DaveSpencer32. You might have heard of him as PMP Transport Films; he's been filming mostly buses and trucks all over the world for years and has uploaded some of his archive footage from the 1990s. At the time these were just ordinary everyday street scenes and people probably thought he was mad for wasting tape on such mundane things, but every vehicle you see is interesting now.

On The Line (1982) Pt1

A drama about the struggles of an independent British car manufacturer: Associated British Motors.

 

I can't thank @Remspoor enough for posting this link. It's absolutely fabulous. Imagine Howard's Way crashed into Longbridge, this is the net result. Produced by Central TV! 

I wish all the subsequent episodes were available. It's everything I want in tv: 80s, cars, bad script, industrial unrest, drawing boards. 

My favourite characters are the blaxpoitation (Northern stereotype) couple from Leeds.

And "Hiiiiii it's Jeffrwey". There is something brilliant about a lad from New Jersey talking about a Midland Red.

Holy crap!

How have I not found that before?  Many thanks.

I discovered Jeffrey a while back and totally agree; it's wonderful that an American is so enthusiastic about obscure British buses that even a lot of Brits haven't heard of. What was especially weird was his video on Quest 80 quoting one of my old blog posts - it's bizarre hearing the words I wrote being read in a Noo Joisy accent.

That's great! Did he credit you with it?

On that subject, and it just popped in to my head, do you know why Guy Motors used an Indian chief as their logo/mascot? He mentioned it but couldn't find out why?

Being born a stones row from their factory, spending nearly 15 years as a volunteer at he Black Country Museum on the trolleybuses, being a sad individual who has no life apart from learning all there is to know about bus and coach history....

You know, stuff like that.

No shit Sherlock.  Feathers in our cap was because of their cast radiator mascot and vive versa. (Fucking logo - what era do you think it is, the modern day?)

Whatever. If it makes you feel superior…

Interesting top comment on YT

[garethj]

The first half is for anyone who had a car poster from Athena in the 80s.  The second half is basically taunting @Cavcraft with all the Iveco action
