vulgalour Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Four brand new shocks for £80, a pair of good used driveshafts for £0 and only a 20 mile round trip has seen me a happy Rover owner today. I don't need the driveshafts, but they were my favourite price and good to have in stock just in case. myglaren, eddyramrod, The Moog and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSdriver Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Sorry to disappoint its aVauxhall.Hey I like those too- as a nineteen/twenty year old in the early seventies I had a Brabham Viva (HB) and I still rate the styling. I could never get my head around the fact that they did a 2.3 litre version of the Viva, over twice the capacity of my car. In my ignorance I thought it must be twice as powerful and twice as fast.

trigger Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I was staying in a pub in Cheltenham the last few days and this morning during breakfast i saw this Japanese man come down for breakfast and ask the landlord if he could borrow the land phone, no problem he says, hands him the phone and walks off to the kitchen to make the breakfast. Meanwhile i watch Mr Japanese man go up to the table beside us and ask the lads sat at it if they knew the international dialing code for Japan! He then spends the next 10 minutes sat on this phone speaking Japanese with the landlord oblivious still in the kitchen!

barefoot Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 This place makes me grin. I have always wanted a Jaguar XJ and now thanks to this place I have one.It cost a very small amount of money, but without the folk and the philosophies on here, I would never have dared to buy such a potential liability.But I have, because over the years of coming on here, my attitude towards cars & particularly car pricing has changed beyond all recognition.

Spottedlaurel Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Good weather at last. So I decided to use the little 1200 for work. Other than running a bit warmer than ideal (rectified by putting the heater on), it did the job very well and was a joy to drive on the rural B-roads. Pondering whether to bring it to the FOTU do later this month – I’ll try and get a few miles on it over the next 2-3 weeks and see how it behaves.

dave21478 Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 I think for the first time ever I am writing about car insurance in the grin thread. Called up my insurers this morning about the Mazda, got straight through with no wait and only 220 euros for a year including breakdown cover. Granted its third party only, but thats all I ever want anyway. Tickman, xtriple, AMC Rebel and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkNWeigh Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Tonight in Newton Longville I spotted a very nice beige, dangly mirror,small headlight Sierra. Then 30 seconds later a slightly newer red one, Again in lovely condition. Didn't have chance to get a picture though. No need to, it was these Mates of Borniteidentity and picture stolen from his thread. M'coli, inconsistant, AMC Rebel and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timewaster Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 In hindsight I can now see why Cortina owners didn't like the looks of the Sierra.I couldn't see what the fuss was at the time. My memory of mk1 Sierras was the contrast between models. Some seemed really quick (2.0) and some were really slow (emax) and some had great headlamps and others with identical looking lights were like candles.Unfortunately It was often the quick ones with crap lights.
