Friend of mine has a 1960 Chevy pick up with a V8 Lexus engine running on gas and last time I saw him he said it was a struggle getting gas in Cleveland. Said this to RR man tonight and he said there was a lot of campervans use LPG now.  With a 52 year old Roller I doubt fuel costs are going to be the biggest worry one way and t'other!

There's a place near Costco Birmingham, so 1/2 mile from the M6. That half mile could take you 20 mins at the wrong time of day though.

Absolutely wonderful to see so many classic and sports cars being used today in the south.

I'm just adding to this thread again to say that I may have died and gone to heaven. 

I saw a Citroen SM in the wild today. 

That is all.

Remember this thing? I posted the image in another thread just now. Curiosity got the better of me as I wondered whether it was still logged as a car...

Turns out it's a Passat!

It looks as like he's had to do an IVA since though. Good man for logging the make appropriately! DooVLA must have had a chuckle when registering it...

Taking the phrase "that Passat looks like a bit of a shed" into a whole new meaning.

It's currently running a 400+bhp RS4 lump and sits on air suspension. If he removed the shed bits and welded a Passat back on, he'd have a right animal!

Think I watched a video a wee while back about it. I love how insane it is. :D

It's fucking brilliant album! Really enjoy listening to it! 😎😎😎👍👍👍

My personal opinion is Steve Hackett was a bigger loss to genesis than Peter Gabriel 

I absolutely love wind & wuthering and trick of the tail and still play them regularly.

Have a listen to Lunatic Soul , a thousand shards of heaven 

It's on YouTube if you don't have a streaming service

Meanwhile on the Ukrainian version of Harry's farm...

I do wonder what the "legalities" is of it, like your Mr Farmer and you help yourself an APC from the invading Russians and stick it in your barn, then lets say (and hope!) the Russia withdraw the next day or 2

do you now have free APC? are you allowed to keep it?

I'm listening to Genesis 'And then there were three... 

Anyway whenever I see a Citroën Nemo, I always hear Scenes from a night's dream... 

Odd. 😅

You just reminded me that I had a dream last night, where I said I was listening to a lot of Prog Rock and my friends gave me a list of albums to listen to. However the albums were all shite and I had to avoid everyone to avoid upsetting them.

Thankyou very much for the recommendation! I'll buy these in vinyl form; I'm a real technophobe! 👍 👍 👍 😎 😎 😎
