Talbot Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 there needs to be some lunatic who will put a TUD into an RX8...... Someone buy me an RX8 and a late-ish 106/Spaxo diesel and your wish will be granted. Oh, and somewhere dry/warm to do it would be magic.

barefoot Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Out in the Jaguar with the fair wife last night, she looks up and asks, 'OMG, what's going on with the headlining?'19 months & two MOT's I've had that car, the first time she's noticed the sagging headlining.Is this a record?

Captain Furious Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Its possible i'm the only human that didn't already know this, but we were just talking about chickengate at work and one of the guys said - did you know KFC only follow 11 people on Twitter? I didn't, but sure enough he brings it up on his phone and they follow all of the spice girls and 6 random guys named Herb. Because its a secret blend of 11 Herbs and Spices.... Well, I thought it was absolute genius. John F, Talbot, Brodders and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 This from a now locked thread in the open section IMG_20180220_212225.jpg In light of this, do we possibly need to put up a PLEASE READ sticky somewhere with some rules about content in threads, instead of people signing up, getting heckled/moderated out of nowhere and leaving again?

Asimo Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Favourite film Just discovered that, like me, George Lucas' first car was an Autobianchi Bianchina. His was the sexy open version - because California, and mine was the van version - because England. He crashed his. I slept** in mine. The Force must have been with him to survive that. (Just)Round thing half way up the photo on the right side is the centrifugal oil-filter. **Yes.

panhard65 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Just follwed an old millitary truck on my way home. It was 6 wheel drive and had no roof. I didn't get much of a look at it but it is registered 409UXA which comes up as a Utica-Bend Corp anyone ever heard of them or have an idea what it was. It sounded great with a big old diesel belching out black smoke. Sorry no pictures as it was getting dark and I was driving. oldcars 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beko1987 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 My dad did 80k in his motability car over the last 3 years, got lumped with about £700 in charges. Luckily he had some of it saved up, but bear it in mind. £250 rebate for the car being in good order helped a bit I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinmasters Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Two grins; looking at Streetview of Bexhill reminded me of a couple of things. I used to drink in the pub on the left. Mathilde's Kitchen, or the shop next to it, used to be a secondhand bookshop. The owner would sit in the pub, if a customer turned up he'd walk across the road with his pint-he begrudged doing this. The local Four Candles shop. I worked nearby, and this is where new staff were sent for a 'long weight', 'sky hooks' etc. The owner usually played along.

Luckily he had some of it saved up, but bear it in mind. £250 rebate for the car being in good order helped a bit I thinkThat's my thinking. If I do go over,say by 10k then it's 500 quid in charges. Which is less than 2 months payments were I to go on a hp for the car. And the 250 quid rebate would soften it also. I'm not aiming to go over my mileage but I am putting a bit each month away!

Yesterday both the 305 and 406 were started and left idling away, clattering in our cul de sac, looked like a scene from Apocalypse Now with clag drifting over the battlefield.

Ask a private hire driver in a new car for a recommendation. purplebargeken, chodweaver and NorfolkNWeigh 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
