CIH Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 This is what happens when you replace plod on th street/in a 24v Senator with cameras and advertise the fact you don't want to send people to the slammer. People have always been dicks but now they've cottond to the fact they can get away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theorganist Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Pains me to say it as an anti-religion person, but maybe we need to bring back the brimstone and hellfire? Not that the priests who preach it are necessarily squeaky clean... No one is squeaky clean and I don't actually think it would be good thing if priests were squeaky clean!! You only read about the bad things a few have done, and it shouldn't be covered up and I think a lot of damage has been done to the church (mainly the Catholic church) by offences that have been brushed under carpet, but you never read about the good things. I know many priests and they are all good people who do incredible good in their local societies (not just within the confines of the church) whether for religious people or secular.

While wearing dark clothing in a dingy warehouse. Also, England 5, Scotland 0. For once I can live with that score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashmicro Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Jaguar. My mate just got a 1994 XJR for nothing. It goes like stink. It's nothing like as sophistated as my X type, but what a thing! You can hear the supercharger. All it needs is a bloody good service, which I will do tomorrow. There's a wee ding in the back bumper and it needs tyres. That's it. Full leather. It's massive. It's just a big lump of British metal and I love it already. I loved my S Type, and the X Type is a belter too, this is just another brilliant Jaguar. Get shot of that Mondeo Trig, and get a Jaaaaaaaaggg. Everyone respects a Merc, but everyone loves a Jag. Big straight six with a charger under the bonnet, autobox, LSD and rear drive. Goes sideways nicely. I'm amazed everyone doesn't have a Jag, they're brilliant and not expensive. Kate just got a 911 Carrera 4 S and it was 60 thousand pounds more than my X Type. Mad. It's nice, but fuck me that's a shit load of dosh. She loves the car, mind, and she can throw it about like champion. When she came back from a blast with her Mum, the smile on her face was priceless. Her Mum, on the other hand, looked shit scared. I gave her a whiskey. (Irish, of course!)

trigger Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Just had to laugh, My Kadett is of next week to have a new clutch fitted and whilst it's in I'm going to get the gearbox oil changed as it clonks into gear sometimes. The owners book recommended SAE 80 "Extreme Gear Lubricant EP-S4 > 400 kp to meet GM Spec GM 4753 M", whatever that is, So i went to my local motor factors asking if they done SAE80 instead of EP80, "No sorry, I think that's more of a 2 stoke oil, you might be better off going to a marine specialists though i can't see why EP80 would be a problem", OK i say and go to Halfords just to see what they have. I found some Castrol EP80 covered in dust on the shelf but it has SAE80 on the rear, I see 3 young lads who work there and ask if it's suitable for my car (I thought it would be worth a laugh), "Err..." they look at each other and laugh, "I have no idea mate, i can't see why not, all oil is the same isn't it?" He was being serious as well... On another note if anyone knows the answer to this then let me know, I have bought EP80 now but i can return it to Halfords.

trigger Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Get shot of that Mondeo Trig, and get a Jaaaaaaaaggg. If i could afford to run one i would, though my Mondeo is 1/2 a Jaguar already!, I was having very dirty thoughts about this one yesterday funny enough, I could even have a side line doing weddings in it though I'd be worried that the brown shit mark in the brides dress after i droped her off would be an issue. http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C234242 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashmicro Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Get in! Get an X Type with all the options and a V6 in either 2.5 or three litre flavour. My Porker was an all-wheel drive with twice the power, but the Jag drives better. The S Type was no slouch either, and my Dad's S Type R is a riot. Kate's 911 is brilliant, but I prefer my 6 grand Jag. Leather, air, heated seats, knee airbags - the works. It goes like a rocket and grips like fuck. It even sounds good. So that's two AWD cars in our household, a Rover 25 and half a mark 1 Golf. Old Brown's Lane Jags can be trouble, but the Ford-era stuff rocks mightily. The S Type is a great example. OK, it might be a Lincoln LS in drag, but a great car. What makes me smile is taking the Rover round a back road, hammering that little K Series off the limiter. So chuckable and will eat and shite a 1600 Golf, nice and light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I have to say the S-Type is far nicer than the 'X'. The 'X' I've just got is a 2.5 (manual) and seems quicker and lighter than the three litre 'S' auto but it's not as nice inside and it's not just because the latest one has cloth as opposed to leather. Mind you if someone wants a cheap 'X' type drop me a pm, I won't be keeping this any longer than I have to. Neither would compare to a S1 XJ6 though, they're bloody lovely looking cars.

brammy777 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Just got back from holiday in Lincolnshire, it was lovely! Attended the BL day, of course, a shame I didn't see anyone around, apart from Darren (reallyloud), I myself was pretty easy to spot....Tell you what, it's seriously difficult to shite spot where I was, there is barely anything elderly still in use, although the stuff I did see tended to be pretty good. Surprisingly, we went to Amersham today on a slight detour, and I was shocked at how much was still in use, saw so much shite on the roads, we even got passed by a Fuego going in the opposite direction, that was a real WTF moment. Now to catch up with the forum.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I went round a friends tonight to a BBQ and one of my friends who was also there owns a Jaguar XJR, It was the first time I'd seen it so i asked if he could show me around it. What a nice car, It's a X303 model with the 4.0 V8 Supercharged lump, He paid £4500 for it back in February and then another £2500 getting it converted to LPG and plus he also paid for a full powerflow stainless steel exhaust system, What a beast, He asked me if I'd like to take it for a spin, I didn't need asking twice!. It was like driving a magic carpet, so smooth and quiet except that beautiful V8 roar, i took it onto the A14 and he told me to floor it, What a sound, it was like a pack of rottweilers attacking you, it didn't feel especially quick but it soon picked up pace. I want a V8 one day. 2001 Jaguar XJR 4.0 V8 by Trigger's Retro Road Tests!, on Flickr 2001 Jaguar XJR 4.0 V8 by Trigger's Retro Road Tests!, on Flickr 2001 Jaguar XJR 4.0 V8 by Trigger's Retro Road Tests!, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollywobbler Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 2CV got turfed out of its cosy garage, as the BX has now been awarded that coveted status of Garage Queen. Neighbours have let me stash the 2CV in their garage for a bit though! How nice. Was tempted to put the Mini in their garage instead, but then remembered its incontinence issues. Don't want to fall out with the neighbours - they're really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boobydoo Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 ^^ There's another one in the same colour following it. That's not very likely I wouldn't have thought. I'm suspecting that the whole picture is just made up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
