The cord on that phone gives my OCD a good run out into the country. Unplug the handset and let the cable unwind FFS!

Norway is also quite strict about changes to vehicles, I don't think people in the UK know how good/easy they have it.

Same here in Spain. No changes without an engineers report, new roadworthiness test. New parts  must be to EU type aproval. I cannot have daylight running lamps fitted without all of those. Tyres can be changed for larger ones, but there is a limited percentage over the manufactures size. That is the size stated in the vehicles type of approval.

I think Germany is also another country with strict regulations.

24 minutes of my home town. A lot of 80s motors in all the scenes.

The answer to the electric problem of transportation is being worked on by Lord Bamford.

I can hear some of you at the back asking were the hydrogen will come from. Well I think that they should build a hydrogen producing plant next to the giant off shore windfarms that are springing up on the North East Coast. When the days are extra windy the over current that they produce can be used to make the hydrogen. It makes a lot more sense than the power companies getting paid to switch off the wind turbines and waste the green energy that they can produce.

Now, if we had a government that was more interested in proper progress than one that is full of self serving greed merchants, we might get somewhere.

To be fair it's taken JCB years to get to the point they should've been.

They went in to electric diggers, which is fine. Until you see the video of one on a building site. It worked for 2 hours, and would spend the next 8 hours charging from a diesel powered generator.

I enjoyed Harry's video posted above and he did ask some mildly challenging 'journalistic' questions, but he did seem to come to JCB already converted to the benefits.

Just watched it. It does make me laugh when Johnny boy can not identify a Mk2 Cortina door or one off a Corsair.  And as for not spotting the light blue door with the trim on it is the same as the car he is pulling out of the lock up is priceless. I'll let him off for not spotting the the Nikki carb was for an BMC A-Series.

The car wasn't to bad, but it will probably end up at an auction and get bid up to an unbelievable price for a non-running 1964 Pre-Airflow Consul Cortina Super.

It's probably been posted before, but I CBA to look; matey here is putting the oily bits from a Jag S-Type into a Princess. @vulgalour

 

[vulgalour]

I've been following that project since he started posting the videos.  He's at the point now where he's basically made a whole new car with some bits of Jag and Princess hung strategically from it.

Mr Tasty Classics making a meal of putting the boot lid back on his 1275GT.

I’m enough of a pedant that the black 1275GT badge (should be red), the number plate light holder thing in gloss black (should be satin) and most of all the black and silver plates on a 1979 car. However it looks lovely and I want one again.

I have scoured youtube mostly for my own amusement and found these hope you like......

Its a bit of a montage but there is same great footage and very enthusiastic commentary...

John Shenanigans looks at a steep road in Brizzle (I do love me a bit of Auto Shenanigans)

Glasgow's finest takes on a Spitfire, whilst avoiding his big project (the Locost), as a Tools n Track Patreon it would be rude not to share this!
