😂

It must be urgent because they've sent it twice this week! A proper scam one this time, ticking all the boxes. There's a problem, a request for money and a statement of urgency.

I would reply but this is my only mailbox. No scambating for me this time.

The weekend has started in the proper manner for me, catching up with Thursday night's episode of Public Eye. A shame we're on the last series now, wonder if they'll go back to the early ones again?

Period vacuum cleaner excitement for @beko1987

It's even seen in action in another scene.

Also good Landcrab/Lobster content for @keef

Sadly the registration isn't fully visible on either of these two at Maidenhead station, although the Wolseley is seen to be an H-reg 18/80 when it appears in other shots.

A Morris 1800 appears later on, apparently it made it to April 1983. Bonus Crayford Cortina in the background, sadly not much more of it visible than as seen above.

and to top it all off I think it is still at least partially Valve/vacuum tube powered :)

would love to get one, but from what I can tell they command strong money these days sadly

(and shipping to the UK would probably be £LOL)

This afternoon I was transported back to 1981,when I was an impressionable car mad 8 year old lad.

My cousin had bought a bright orange 1979 Fiat 131 mirafiori sport,it was amazing,especially compared to my dad's Hillman hunter and indeed most of the daily porridge that abounded at the time.

Fast forward 40 years. 

It was a nice afternoon today,so I decided to go for an amble out in my Golf,passing my cousins farm yard gate a glint of bright orange caught my eye,followed by me bringing my Golf to an abrupt halt!!

FUCK ME!!!!

What a stunner.

A Fiat enthusiast found out through word of mouth about my cousins old one,or at least the sorry remains of it,and called on him for a chat.

His is a left hand drive very low mileage model imported from Germany.

Rust proofed from new and now leads a very cosseted life,and rightly so.

I've seen the car before, but to see it in a setting where one was an everyday sight for me was great.

What a car,was my first experience of 100mph at age 10 or 11,the noise of the twin cam at that speed is etched into my soul,of course my Mum would have killed him if she'd have known at the time!

So yeah,this made me grin.

:mrgreen:
