Jon Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Whilst browsing Trademe as a denial tactic for stuff I should actually be getting on with, I came across this advert for a rather tempting Morris LD150: http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/morris/auction-987889358.htm Don't worry, I'm not going to buy it. However, the seller put up a link to his Facebook page, promoting his "small business buying and selling classic cars and parts through out New Zealand and Europe" and he's dealing in some quality products, a lot of which are temptingly cheap! Take a look at https://www.facebook.com/classiccarsnz to see for yourself. Thankfully, it's accessible by all as you don't need an account to view the page or the brilliant pics. Enjoy!

Noel Tidybeard Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 You have to wonder sometimes... I live in a 9th floor apartment, in a block of 115 similar apartments. I have no loft (there's 2 floors above me) and one external wall which is all glass.

vulgalour Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 It is fun showing people up in it, especially since from behind I must look like the sort of elderly gent that exclaims things like "I'm 92 next year" and "all my friends are dead, you know".

fordperv Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Yes it did happen, the traffic lights were very close together, the rover accelerated away while the Impreza was in lag and by the time it came on boost it was time to stop because the traffic light was on red. It would have wiped the floor with the rover other wise Craig the Princess 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanky Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Ah, this is a special lexus model where to outdo the competition in the 'why did they take something that fundamentally works and make it worse in the name of progress' stakes. They decided to replace the metal brake disc with friction material in the form of a clutch friction plate, and then make the 'pads' out of metal. obviously this would have been impossible with drum brakes, but once someone realised that a brake disc and a clutch plate were the same shape, the idea took hold. It didn't catch on. myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slappy Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Something in Modern Classics inspired me to dig out my Ronin DVD. Apart from the fact that every single vehicle (apart from maybe the Pug van) is shite in some way or other, you can also pass the time by playing the "spot the stunt black Twingo" game. I think I got to about 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STUNO Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Happy not just grin. Summer is showing it's hand, it is now 9.50pm on Thursday, sky is clear with a full moon. There is not a breath of wind and my temp gauge reads 22c inside, max was 24 today. And the forecast is crap and high winds. May it continue getting better.
