On the subject of beautiful boats as works of art, this is superb.

Parked next to this 21 plate RR sport today 

All 4 wheels looked like this , you'd think they'd be stainless steel on a 80k car 

 

I'd pass those off as having come off a Freelander 2 😆

They are simply magnificent. No mention of the V8 engines fitted by the second owner!

Just read this piece about a G-wagen captured in the Falklands.  Can just imagine the correspondence between some RAF chap with a suitably massive moustache and an uptight records clerk in Stuttgart.

Oh Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz - RAF Museum

We were at Cosford a few weeks back to 'cuddle' my wife's C-130 Hercules and had a quick sprint around the place to see what's new - that G-wagen is in the far, far away hanger that gets fewer visitors and it really stands out as everything else in there (e.g. Moggy Estate in RAF colours, half a Chinook) is kind of 'normal'.
There's some other autshite in the Cold War section (VW, Trabant, Mini) that you can actually touch so I'd imagine those so inclined could lick it too.
We had to leave as I have this terrible urge to try and smuggle the TSR-2 out bolt by bolt.
£7.50 'entry' that you pay in the car park and that covers all the occupants. (£1 off if you book in advance). Well worth a detour off the M6

Local garage cancelled my MoT appt later in the week - who'd have thought KwikFit would be open on a Bank Holiday?

Errrr....

Not sure what's worse, the fact he's trying to sell some second hand brakes in "crap condition" by his own admission, the tin of copper grease, the completely unnecessary can of WD-40 or the widowmaker jack and wheel instead of an axle stand 😂😂

But it is green, so must be good for the environment.

[myglaren]

Must be wireless power too.

Reminds me of the battery-operated tyre paint I stumbled across a few years back...

Been over a year since i sadly had to get shot of the tina bought from @Stinkwheel Its much morned did a load of work on it and now a bit boy'd up by the fact it may still live. Didn't need too much and in hindsight would of done it myself as  council still ain't pulled down my not yet fallen down garage. It may still live, wonderful thing.

BLIMEY!!   I didnt realise that thing still existed. I wa sonly thinking of it the other day. You know, in that 'I wish i had kept that car' kind of way 😂

Me too. Id done a ton of welding on it though had to let it go two years back when the council said they were pulling down the garage it was in. Which they haven't. Bastards. Does make me smile its still about though.

For a while a year or two back there was an arseantiques in Chobham. They’ve now moved and changed name. Not sure they realised at the time.

Is it and arts installation or just someone who happens to only have saved the front suspensions off their old Taunuses?

Theres a lot to like about today. Cross town journey from Woolwich to Harrow this morning was a joy. More joy as after yesterdays hard graft foundation manual dig the five of us got to level off some dirt then done for the day. Stopped at St. Catherine's dock on way home had a coffee and made friends with a squirrel. I like squirrels.

Both tasty, but may contain nuts.

Nature for a front garden ..

Get a new build .

 

[somewhatfoolish]

To be fair a ditch will fill up with 'nature' fairly quickly, especially if seeded with appropriate things. Not sure I'd want it 6' from my front door though.

[anonymous user]

And you can guarantee that someone will buy one of those houses off plan not realising the ditch is there and complain about it, wanting it filled in.
