Schaefft Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Holy crap yes!! I was hoping it would be 1000 quid 22k mile Maxima from the Ebay tat thread but this is even better! I need to see it in person, for motivational purposes. Jim Bell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bell Posted January 8, 2022 Author Share Posted January 8, 2022 Just home now lads. Cannonballed it from Bury Noel Edmonds to Weatherby, then stopped for Gregg's. Many thanks to @Semi-C for picking me up, being a gent and for showing me his lovely Cortinas. Have some pics. All in all, a grand day out.

Schaefft Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I might have to find you a new front wing. I think there's still an LS400 getting broken on ebay that's the same shade of Gold. Jim Bell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somewhatfoolish Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 8 hours ago, Jim Bell said: We are now departing Peterbrough. Tourist facts. If you come to Peterbrough cathedral on the first Sunday after Micklemass with a clipboard and a scarf, the archdiocese is legally compelled to provide you with two wives of childbearing age. You must also bring with you a scarf and clipboard for EACH WIFE for the proceedings to be legally binding. Kenny Lilette seen here with his new wives (Karen and Karen B.) after last year's ceremony. Peterbrough have a football team of sorts, which usually plays in one of the English football divisions. Never the same one twice. Karen of parallelogram is buried in Pebo cathedral; she was married to Henry Cromwell until she wasn't. Her holy clipboard is in the reliquary, on the left under her sister's collection of cat ornaments. LS400s are for winners, especially if they are in Autoshite Racing Biege with matching interiors.

Semi-C Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 It was always going to be a wrench parting with such a contrabulous fabtraption but I couldn’t imagine a finer fellow to take ownership of this than Mr Bell. Many thanks for braving today’s inclemency and may the feathers ensure your immortality. Yippee kayak other buckets.

Jim Bell Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 Went and got an extra key cut today. I hate only having one key for a car.

Jim Bell Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 Areas of character. Not too bad for an old girl. And any imperfections of paint are more than overshadowed by the amazing gear shifter. If you disengage the overdrive, and select the PWR setting, even on poor tyres, in the wet, on a greasy surface, it'll still return a 14.2 quarter mile. Even with an idiot driving. I like it more and more every time I get in it. All in all, a fine old bus. Uncle Jimmy, cort16, barefoot and 27 others 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of prefer these with the square headlights like this one. I have to agree, the early mk1s look the best. I'm in the strange position of it currently being my LESS luxurious car. The E240 is a good few years newer and feels like it rides better, has more room, is smoother, quieter and provides much more cabin space. I'm kind of torn between the two. I can only keep one. Ones definitely "cooler" and the other is probably "better". Decisions, decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
