egg Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Doug specifically did a video on why it's not worth his while to travel to Europe to review cars - so it would have to be ones already 'over there' LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightBulbFun Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Doug does Jay Leno's F1, but Jay doesn't let him drive it... Just watched the video through and id be lying if I said I was not making invacar comparisons throughout LOL front hatch that is only for mechanical bits and not for storage? check rear/mid engined? check adjusted to the specific users needs? check Center driving position for optimal weight distribution and driving position? check (and you can squeeze 2 people either side the driver in a Model 70 if you really wanted too LOL) and in the case of the Mk12, there are substantially fewer known surviving Mk12s then there are F1s and Model 70 can probably go faster* then a F1 anyway *in reverse egg and Remspoor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoddybanger Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osVMHq3OhQI Some Finnish car ads from the 60´s and 70's. Brands covered include Volga, Skoda (rally action!), Audi (shady bloke feeling cold and uncomfortable), Moskvitsh, Peugeot, Wartburg, Neckar, P70 Zwickau (they drive over one of the plastic doors to highlight its flexibility) and Saab (with emphasis on windscreen wipers and lamp washers in dreary conditions). martc and Sudsprint 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cort16 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Genuine LOLz at the fuel removal system. Go to 3.23 or follow this link https://youtu.be/ZsjWak7I8Zo?t=203 Also in a couple of these old scrapper videos I've noticed they set the cars on fire. Any idea why?

LightBulbFun Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 IIRC they set fire to them as a quick n easy way to remove any non metals from the car (Back then if it was not made of metal, then it was probably made of something flammable like cloth or wood id think) cort16 and vonmon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cort16 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Here’s another one . Old Jag, remove some interior bits, lights and alternator , torch it and then gas axe.I also enjoyed the guy gas axing the rear of it had a tie on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightBulbFun Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I find since the recent forum updates, to get a youtube video to embed you have to right click the youtube video and click copy video URL so you end up with a short "youtube.be" url then it will embed JeeExEll, egg, davocano and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martc Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Those Finnish car ads are fab, although there's a touch of 'Chanel 9' about some of them and I'm pretty sure the Wartburg was a model. And there should've been a warning about the Scan Auto sauna scene.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercrocker Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 ^ I deleted my post from half an hour ago as when I tried to do what I'd explained in the text it didn't work !.(Basically, it was to show Mercrocker how to post direct access to vids). The way which usually works for me, using only an Android tablet, is to copy & paste the entire youtube address, then strip the first bit down to just https://youtu.be/ with the dot added in "youtu.be" then put the last bit of the copied address, which in Mercrocker's case was IHmVXfKdFgM Sorry, chief, I have enough trouble just right-clicking on my laptop. I still have no idea what an Android is. I will get there one day. Never doing electric handbrakes, though..... JeeExEll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightBulbFun Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Check out the Toshiba neoballs lighting the shop front I had heard that wimpy used them, but had never seen an actual photo of them in use (they where an early form of compact fluorescent lamp, sorta competing with the Philips SL lamp, quite rare these days as they where not that popular when new) egg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
