Are you going to see if it will really do 82mph?

Speed limit 130 kph = 80.77823 mph on French autoroutes - 😇

kinda catch 22 aint it, since that would be admitting breaking the law, unless you have a private bit of land long enough for one of us to try on?

speaking of Catch 22, how is the seller expecting to sell it if they wont accept messages? I did not even know you could block all messages like this!

although some fitting comments on FB regarding it, regarding top speed

he's selling a few other items, could you maybe try and contact him on one of those in case its a glitch with this listing only?

I don't think the Rozzers will be breaking down your door if you admit to driving 12 mph over the speed limit, if it really bothers you just say you did it on the Autobahn .

Oh and I have had that exact same Bluetooth speaker for a few years and it has survived some abuse, Anker seem to make fairly decent stuff for a reasonable price.

Perfect defence mate:-

"82mph eh?
Tell me officer, any idea how fucking stupid you're going to look in court?"

if anyone finds that 10 pence coin around there lemme know, it slid off the dashboard and out a gap in the door during some enthusiastic cornering....

This stuff is useful to stop that kind of thing happening...

I bought one of those Anker speakers, good for the money but not a patch on similar size Bose for 10x the price! As for the 82mph, my car could get you well over 100mph on the trailer if you are brave enough to sit in REV. 🏁

Would probably be safer if he was in rev, he would need to hold onto all the body panels as they started to fly off 😂

I bought a load from Aldi years ago. It’s great and my mum uses it to stop wedding and other cakes sliding around the boot too.

An analogue film photo of REV taken on a 90's point and shoot Canon Sureshot Mini (I had one new 'in period') from my visit to Dez back in November.

That's a cracking shot. BIL recently recommissioned his mum's 1950s box brownie camera after we discovered it when clearing her house. It's produced some amazing photos of us on the coast here in Cornwall. I can see why some folk are into old school photographic gear.

It's a tribute to 'Bob, Sue and Rita Too'

Shame the red SD1 isn't parked there anymore - then you'd just need RobT to trundle up in his Metro and you could recreate that photo nearly perfectly, just with a bit more beige.

Very Awesome! it gives me some idea what a period photo of REV might look like I have to ask out of curiosity what film stock did you use?

Saw this today on FB - someone bought the eastern block Invacar(ish)

Is that based around / on / is a Daihatsu Domino? Looks almost identical.

If Wikipedia is to be trusted, it’s designed by Yuri Vereschagin who took inspiration from kei cars of the time.

Wasn't that also sold as a Lada Oka for the non-disabled?

Thanks, I post all my photos on IG. But two points, I'm not interested in growing a 'following' and I also spout a load of annoying pseudo-intellectual bullcrap to try and look clever and shit over there (you have been warned!).

21,326 · January 18

Another Invacar on YT spot. Together with an Allegro in the same colour.

London Transport bus route 140

There are a lot of vehicles that are just not on our roads

So here is the vid from the beginning.

Oh that messes with my brain because of how many bits I recognise but slightly out of context...that really looks like half a Samara engine too, which is a new one on me.

I kinda want to have a shot of one now.

23,781 · January 19

Something you find interesting at approx 13mins in.

17,100 · January 19

From the 1984 title Dirty Movie, featuring the late, great Rik Mayall and the great but very much still alive Ade Edmondson.

5,820 · January 19

Not an Invacar but similar size - I reckon Dez should fit one of these horn kits to REV!

(Also, isn't one of those guys the one who did "What Does The Fox Say?")

22,166 · January 21

Spotted on Muskland earlier.

She's knitting it a cozy.

Nice green Renault 6 at 2:33, with a bonus Moskvitch for company.
