Whilst out on my bike I found they're both owned by this winner. Needs to be on here. What's he got under the tarpaulin ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catsinthewelder Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 That soft top behind the CX looks fairly unusual too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coprolalia Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I was trying to work it out too. Knew this place would come through, it's registered as an AC Sports. Rare too. Makes me really wonder what's under the two tarps if one of 58 handbuilt AC soft tops isn't... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyBastard Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 2 hours ago, NorfolkNWeigh said: This weeks Classic Car Weekly has two examples of a particular classic marque for sale, one even makes it into their Pick of the Classifieds feature. What amuses me is that I ( and you) know* them both, yep forward @DodgyBastard and @Cavcraft purveyors of classics more rare than Cobras, Aurelias or DB4GTs ( more of each in Octane than these gems) And none of the DB4 GTs say they’ll swap for a moped either. I think I might have two in it, the white Riva and the yellow Cavalier. It's incredibly frustrating because they listed the location as Crossgates with no further location info and I've had about 10 people from Yorkshire calling about it thinking it's Crossgates Leeds. Most of the people who called can't use the internet so trying to forward on detailed photos is difficult. I'd sold the Lada before the advert had even appeared in the paper so whenever someone calls about it I just pass on Cavcrafts number for them to call and annoy him about it. somewhatfoolish, Sir Snipes, DVee8 and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobblers Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I wish the M1 was always like this! (obviously my passenger with 6ft long arms took the photo) That said, a mile later I did have to pass some prick sat in the 3rd lane doing 58mph. myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's great on the phone and an absolute dab hand with the desoldering gun. But for some reason she seems to absolutely love sandblasting stuff. I only gave her a quick go on it because it gives you massive static shocks every few seconds and I thought it would be funny, but now I can't get her away from it, I've got piles of stuff that needs doing but I have to keep dragging her off it when the air compressor is about to go on fire. Or good time maybe? With all these lorries running around ferrying goods, the probability of them breaking is going to go up? Plus if the economy does falter, operators are going to need to keep their fleet trimmed and working as much as possible. Throwing a truck to the back of the yard for a few weeks or sending it off for auction and buying another because the dash has died will become less of an option.

bramz7 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Not sure if a grin but funny enough I guess. Boots is now the only shop open at Waterloo. People keep trying to rob from there and keep getting caught, as there is barely a dozen people who are not staff there at any one time, and there is police here all the time. Also I'm really glad I'm in a key worker job and get to go outside without breaking any rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
