^^ Always worth keeping all those carpet offcuts, never know when they may come in handy.

Sale on at Homebase of sheet-checkerplate and plumber's pipe. That roll-cage looks very robust and substantial. A positive contribution towards the safety of the occupants.

That's the best thing I've ever seen

Is it just me or is there something a bit XJS-ish about those rear wheelarches. Like they're somehow still attached to the Jag IRS in some way?

 

Overall, an excellent effort IMO. Made my day seeing that. With the attention to detail someone clearly had a lot of fun and imagination building it.

 

Next project, a Morris-Minor Traveller made from old pallets.

Maybe.

Agreed. I posted them on the slim chance they are real, but the more I look at them, the less and less likely that seems. I feel as though I saw that mini, or a very similar one about half a year back with the same photos and a far higher price. Something about that Capri ad is very shady too.

 

 

 

You make an appointment too view it, but 8 of you go in one Transit.

 

What, no car?

 

I hear it's not pleasant walking along the A82 near Fort William at night,  in your underpants, in November.

Above all, it's a Rover.

 

Help me, Father, I may be about to sin. 1 hr to go £250....

What's the AS consensus on the 2.0 C5s? I need something that's good on the motorway and always thought they were rather handsome things, with the added bonus of being cheap now

I did a test drive weekend when they were new. I really liked them, nice ride and pleasant interior. I'd not buy one now though as I've decided to stick to oldies.

 

 

Edit. I've just looked at the ad. £2500 and 150,000 miles and nine years. Is that cheap now?! I must admit to not looking for years. My parents recently bought a 6month old DS4 with the current 2.0 HDI for half list price. The engine is very torquey and I do like driving it. Will be using it do go up to the Lake District for a holiday in a fortnight.

My brother in law had an identical one when I first met him. Seat rail parted company with the floor I remember. Metal moth!

Wasn't looking at that car in particular (especially as the last MOT shows 171k) but it does seem like a lot of car for the money. Actually being able to make a car with a comfortable ride seems like a lost art these days, since everything has to be "sporty"
