Me too, they have entered and exited the top 3 wanted cars several times now, but their reputation for being undergeared makes me uneasy, though I get the impression they are better than the equivalent Cortina...

They are pretty under geared, but once you get used to the "skeleton wanking in a metal filing cabinet" soundtrack, you realise that you're not actually thrashing the thing all that hard .

Not sure eloquent is the right word, but very memorably put, and actually quite informative. I don't think you'd hear even Clarkson trying to get away with that one...

That might actually find it's way onto my profile page, as one of my favourite pieces of advice

This is in the toys & games > diecast vehicles section. Nothing fun about campervan conversions if you ask me.

You know those racks of numbered, single-sided keys you used to see in key-cutting shops? I have accumulated a few*. In rural Ireland, house keys used to be sold like that.

I've not heard of pre-cut house keys, but the Wilmot Breeden ones were used on garages as well as cars. My parents garage had a lock that used one of the FS keys.

I remember seeing a stall at the Tatton Park Autojumble which had a rack of Wilmot Breeden keys.

When I was into collecting keys I managed to get a few Wilmot Breeden ones.

I was scratching my head, trying to work out what was wrong. That's it! So obvious now someone has said it
