Is it just me or does that text (particularly the wink face) look 'photoshopped' on?

It's done using "dirty van font".

They found out you owned an Opel Manta, a much higher accolade and were too embarrassed to send you the certificate. 👍

This has continuously made me grin from ear to ear today... even if it did cost me £271 for all the work to be done...

Absolutely no sweat stains on it though.

I realise that I'm probably years late to the party here, but just watching In The Factory about making hoovers and unless I'm imagining things our very own @beko1987 makes an appearance. At least I hope so, cos otherwise me bouncing up and down and saying to the missus "I know that lad" (sort of) was a right waste of time 😄

Ha yep, that's me! Filmed that in Nov 2020, I'd almost forgotten about it tbh! 4+ hours of filming for that little bit! (unless there's more) 

Got paid for the diesel though 👍

This was the same, parked up for 45 years , wouldn't sell it as the offers were too low  , the moon buggy might be in better nick

It was shovelled onto a trailer a couple of years ago

[Datsuncog]

Yup.

I'm sure it was right as rain with a dab of T-Cut and a bit of air in the tyres.

 

I understand the original issue with this Interceptor that led to it getting into this state was that it was part of the first run of cars handbuilt by Vignale - so replacement panels would have needed to be individually crafted to fit.

That's some very sub-Ceri/Morose strappage there.  Wonder how many bran flakes made it to journey's end?

I first saw that about 1974 , went to work with my dad on Saturdays , I'd be 13 and look longingly at it as we drove past parked in that same spot , it never moved in the 2 years we drove past it.

About 10 years ago I got diverted off the A14 , amazed to see it still there , under a tarp but there's no hiding that rear window

The guy that owned it let it get into that state , he had many people knock on his door when it was still a car but either turned them down or wanted way more than it was worth 

I assumed he was dead but a guy on Facebook said a rolls Royce took its place , then one day it was parked there with the back end smashed in until that went as well

Got promotion* at work today. 20% pay rise and a company car. 👍
