This.

 

Don't care that we've just had it. I never tire of seeing these things.

Fucking class in a glass!

Just showed the saab campers to the wife and she then spent the next 20 mins trying to find one to buy. Love her sometimes!

Did you get to drive all of those?

[retrogeezer]

No, but I got to photograph them! 

[DSdriver]

Whilst we're on the subject, I spotted this on a driveway. Must be a track day car.

Is it still free to get in on track days? I took my new camera there when I got it for a practise and it was great fun. It was also ace watching crap looking old hatchbacks pissing past all the flashy stuff. My two favourites the day I went were a 205 that was nailing just about everything (and being driven like it was stolen) and a Corsa with a C20LET who was pretty much taking the piss out of all before it.

Only one I'd give you a thank for is the Cavalier

[retrogeezer]

well that's handy as it's mine. 

 

Yep Billy, free to go in and wander about on a track day still, I knew the guy with the red Audi S3.

Auf Wiedersehen Pet just starting on  the 'Drama' channel from Ep1.

Seeing as I only just read this post I was disapointed to think I had missed it. It's on again tonight at 20 past 10. Timer on record for it. Thanks for the tip off

Cagney & Lacey on the iPlayer.  One of my favourite 70s cop shows and containing worthy quantities of American background chod.

Just playing 'Ikea or Death' (http://ikeaordeath.com/) and one of the bands had this as the promo picture. 

 

 

Private plate included in sale although its currently showing as being on a Jeep Wrangler:

 

The details on the MID are:

Cars also feature in this video (NSFW for nudity and best listened to with the volume down TBH)

The NaturMobil is a motorized vehicle that literally runs on one horsepower - as in, a horse jogging on a treadmill

 

 

interest seems to be less than the designer envisioned

Just watched The Wrong Mans on iPlayer. Now I would normally rather cut my nob off with a rusty Vauxhall than watch James Corden but this is quite good, the good guys drive a K11 Micra, bad guys a smiley face mk3 Transit and there is also a Merc 190e.

How much is it for a track day at Oulton Park now?

In my kei car I use about £80 worth of fuel on a track day at Cadwell, I worked out I get about 16mpg from the 660cc on track and a set of tyres lasts me 3 trackdays ... I reckon the cost is about £200 on top of the cost of the actual track day.

Took my Civic out for a nice run to a car show in posh Aldeburgh today as the weather was nice, it's driving brilliantly now the carbs been cleaned, and as Mr. Dollybird pointed out, it also made someone VERY happy!

Shaddow man certainly has quite an erection for it.

That. Is. Amazing. Finally, the internet has come good. Through all the porn, forums about shitty old cars and YouTube, we have this. So worth it.

I knew Pete-M was secretly a Citroen lover. I see he's already got the necessary facial hair.

In other news, I'm going to be working at a local garage from Monday. Thankfully for the customers, not as a mechanic. General dogsbody receptionist type. I've been practicing tying my hair up with a pencil and looking over my glasses in a sultry manner.

I feel quite unwell.

 

In other news, despite a very shaky start, the ex-Wobbler 300E is actually beginning to grow on me. It's a comfy place to be and has the acceleration of a starship...

Oh for fucks sake.

That actually makes me angry that people are so stupid.

I do apologise.

 

The acceleration is fun isn't it? Especially when first gear engages. I do warn you though, too much of that and you get 16mpg...

I CAN HAZ new house. And it's beige outside because it hasn't been painted in about 15 years. Unfortunately, until about Feb I also haz 2 mortgages  . The buyer of my existing house can't complete until Feb until he comes home from the US and A.

 

House of beigeness:

 

 

 

Garden is now done, new kitchen is in, but it need a central heating boiler and burner. The garage is a damned good size, so I hope to pick up some BL-shaped chod when the spring comes.
