HMC Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 ^ my brother has one. Another of vws model names where on the bootlid- the characters are applied individually below the VW badge; and it just looks like one or several letters have fallen off. I genuinely thought T-ROC was TAROK with someone clumsily snapping the edges off the “A”when loading stuff. myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen the T-ROC SUV and thought it was a tie-up with some brand of vodka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Sterling Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 On 8/15/2019 at 10:31 AM, New POD said: The first proper curry I tasted in 1986 was in Selly Oak. Evenings in the OVT. Oh such memories (I went to Coventry Polytechnic and wife was a student nurse at the QE, so got to walk through the university grounds when pissed) Son was born nearby in the QE hospital, and lives in Harbourne. Lovely city. Ma and Sis_Sterling still live in Selly Oak. Ma used to work at the new QE. I really enjoy visiting Birmingham now probably because I don't live there anymore. Hated living there. I only live in Worcestershire which is as near to Birmingham as I am happy to be. Harborn is lovely, it has a village community feel to it. Been watching the early episodes if Boon which was filmed in Birmingham, specifically around Washwood Heath, Harborne, Selly Oak and someod Worcestershire. A couple of episodes were filmed around the corner from my Mums house and one episode filmed at the Safari Park next to where I live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sierraman Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Went to the Chesterfield Classic Car Show today. Highlight for me was this Stag. Badly resprayed in what looked like Hammerite, full of wob half arsedly sanded down and the piece de resistance being a 1.8TD unit from a P100 installed. Check out the MOT history it makes a compelling case as to why nails like this should be tested every year.
