I dabbled in car audio bitd and they're impressive numbers if they're correct and if that's your bag.

Willswitchengage, can you tell me/us more about that hole in the ground behind you in the Mongol rally pic please.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darvaza_gas_crater

Probably a day's drive from the nearest civilization in Ashgabat on a road so potholed 20-30 mph is a realistic max. We lost a shock absorber and the exhaust on that road but the latter was welded a couple of days later for the equivalent of about £1 after my life being considerably shortened by ingress of fumes into the cabin. The country has a similar currency situation to Venezuela and if you can sell some dollars to an impoverished local you can live like king and buy petrol for sub 10 p per litre. The final few miles were through sand in the desert which was... interesting. Getting there is also a legal nightmare as unless you want to pay for a 24/7 escorted tour (like when you go to Tibet) the transit visa lasts only 4 days. Break down and it's game over. The crater itself is hot as hell, we joked about having a piss into it but in reality you can get nowhere near.

That’s FOAD’s isn’t it?

@Mr_Bo11ox do you still have that (I think) gold one you had painted years back?

Yeah still have that!!!! Mine's not a legacy though, it's a 'Leone' type, 1800 GL estate. It's just sat in the Bo11ox museum!!!

The person who designed that should be tried at the Hague for crimes against...well anything really as long as they are severely punished. 

I'd have one, just not at that price.

OMG, that motorhome is lovely, I would lick that until my tongue was raw.

The living area looks significantly more comfortable than the sitting room of my house! It is beautiful!

No alloys, no turbo, keep-fit windows and random bits of wood stuck inside - that is ace.

Oh I like that far too much. I’m really starting to feel the old square Volvo itch.

By gods that does make your eyes bleed. Lobbed in a bid.

Absolutely wouldn't lob the plate from my MOT'd bike on it and ride it home.

You'd want to check those rusty spokes first though, M8.

That Ibiza is a total honey.  

To be utterly perfect it just needs those 72-spoke alloys the early ones had.

Ahh that’s right, it’s the older one.

Its daft really, I can’t remember what I had for dinner yesterday but ask me what a bloody stranger on the internet was shedding/improving 10 years back...

You should do an update on the old tat museum. Some interesting ‘pieces’ as I remember!!
