(I still wonder about it from time to time, as one does not simply just reference a W&F Barrett invalid carriage without knowing something about invalid vehicles!) richardmorris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. It's quite rough. That's all you're getting. Edit: Took the long (long, long, long) way home and took a look at it in streetlight. It has some really bizarre holes in the strangest places (rear top corners of roof, for instance). Seller's words: "I don't think anything on it works any more.", which is inspiring.

vulgalour Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Had to move a kitchen cupboard recently and there was a bunch of paperwork that had fallen behind it in the past. The best item wasn't the Jersey Zoo postcard from 1994. The best item was the Stannah stairlift brochure. We live in a bungalow.

Rovorsche Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Today I was amused by "Road Karma", bear with me.... I was following an Audi, he overtook a car in front. Repeat nine(ish) times, some of the overtakes were into oncoming traffic, even staring down 38 tonnes oncoming a couple of times to get a car length in front. At the next roundabout EVERY single one of the cars he overtook, turned left so I was right behind him once again, I put my front fogs on just for giggles. myglaren, purplebargeken, twosmoke300 and 3 others 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that will be targeted junk mail, I bought my house from the estate of its late owner and I’m still getting life insurance, funeral plan, denture and care home leaflets through the door.

Zelandeth Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Just watched the last video from when I took the little video while out for a run in the Jag, and have just noticed one of the kids we passed clearly shouting "look at that car!" which I never clocked at the time...but they're clearly pointing at me...and not laughing! That's a bit of a new experience for me. Got a few glances in the Cappuccino (especially when I fitted the miniature version of the Viper-esque stripes), but this is the first one that people really do look at. Not sure if the colour really increases that impact. LightBulbFun and myglaren 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Quote He used to have it serviced and repaired at a place in Stretford, Manchester which was next to the canal, they eventually shut the place down after two mechanics were racing them around and ended up in the canal. If my memory still works I think a customer drove his car in the canal aswell when his accelerator got stuck !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
