A lovely job being made of a SAAB 93 floppy top that used to belong to my mate's dad...

Some great spots on this 1996 documentary about car thieves

 

This must be appearing in more and more forum members's feeds. First me, then @louiepjon Saturday and now yourself. The algorithm works in weird and wonderful ways

Really should read previous pages rather than be excited by what I see 😅

Have we had this yet? a couple of Scotsman scratch build a Lotus 7 type car from the remains of a mk2 MX5, really good stuff IMO.

 

excellent - the stripping of the mazda brought back such happy* memories for me !

I like their attitude, not taking things too seriously but still doing good work - both entertaining and informative. regulars up at Knockhill too, any of the scotoshiters know them ? 

having watched up to episode 12 and the chassis is still not finished, I'm rather pleased that I chose the Exocet kit for my own build

We must have had this by now, but I can't find it. Some proper characters* in this and a Hyundai Scoupe I find very appealing.

I watched this the other day. If you google the fella who sold the dodgy Renault 21, you’ll see he continued to have a very colourful relationship with the truth.

I also ended up watching the full series of X Cars from 1997 (Manchester police car crime fellas, I remember watching this when I was about 10!) which was utterly chodtastic, back when everything could be stolen with a screwdriver. Did any Ford XR/Vauxhall GTE actually make it through the 90s without a bit of joyriding action?

Watching this channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFBNOGFf1p_soBvDk9Ov7gg/videos)
His videotape recordings of the Merseyside firefighters feature lots of chod including an A plate Maestro which has a petrol explosion and many other cars being burnt out after a joyride. One episode contains this fine vehicle:

Missing doors and belonged to Ellsmere Port's mayor. Firefighters visited it in the afternoon and the engine was running. That evening, it gets burnt out!

This has excellent tat on display from about 4.20 on. It's a really slow but escorted drive through London with plenty of time to watch all the different cars in the traffic.

Possibly been on before, but some quality motorway policing from when officers drove 2-door range rovers, there were gaps in the central reservation, and a crashed E-type jag wasn't a big thing.

 

This just appeared on my front page and I came to post it here only to find it had already been done. If you haven't watched this then I recommend you do if only for the important lesson that a documentary does not necessarily have to involve a bloody stupid voice over.

Fave moment was the German/Yorkshire translator.

Can you imagine the exchange now? Some "citizen journalist" filming the harassment on his mobile to put on FaceTwat later?

That video is fascinating. Particularly it's a part of the country where we attended to RTCs up on the rough bits of the M62. 

Those lads are seriously brave, out on open lanes waving down traffic.  Far cry from the fending off position we take, walking facing traffic (difficult when you've to walk with the traffic, you kinda walk backwards) and wiating for highways to change the signs. 

I've also held off on entering the motorway as we were first on scene, heavy fog, holding at the Denshaw slip road waiting for a fire engine to enter with us as live lanes without a bloody big fire engine just makes me feel a bit unsafe. 

Different times altogether.

More Confessions than Carry On. You expect the cars to be bouncing up and down in comic fashion before the wheels fall off and steam comes out the radiator cap.

Good God, I can remember watching that on TV at the time, and thinking that the copper was going to twat him.

Thanks so much for posting it up, never knew what program it was. Brilliant stuff.

You've got to respect someone taking the engine out of one of these on their drive garden using jacks and axle stands.

The engine is absolutely fucking massive.

 

 

Was never interested in Ferrari's until a mate suggested I had a look at the Ratarossa channel.

Nice to see someone doing quite in depth jobs on complex cars on a driveway. 

He also bought very cheaply a filthy pick up truck stuck in limp mode from one of our caravan dwelling friends. Nice series of videos with great presentation.

I can remember driving my Dad's Mk. IV Zodiac in snow. It behaved predictably enough but to tame the bastard thing he used to cover the entire boot floor with a layer of bricks in the winter.
