mine too, it was working when I got it but stopped at Lake Geneva 

I did see a YouTube of Dollywobbler/Hubnut fixing his but when I took mine apart the failure mode was different and couldn't be repaired 

I assume the one in the blue car is not original as it was only on 2600ish at it's 2006 MOT, the earliest date on the MOT history. It's not impossible that that is original but it seems unlikely. Anyway it now reads way too fast and the colder it is the faster it reads. If I head straight out the motorway on a cold morning I can get it right off the clock whilst still being overtaken by everyone else. It gets gradually more accurate as it warms up but you have to be going at least half an hour before it gets anywhere near where it should be.

Being a fancy 136LS I have rev counter so I drive off that. 3000rpm in top is about 70mph, 2200 through the 50mph average speed sections and 1750 in fourth in the 30 zones, those are the main ones you need to know.

I do have two spares in the loft but I don't even know if they work. I shall probably wait until mine breaks completely before I found out.

I’ve always fancied a Rebel, but the saloons look a bit odd from the back. If that had been the estate I might well have risked the wrath of SWMBO and had a bid on it. 

Yes it's quite attractive, I have to say. It's such a minor quibble but it's annoying me they've put new tyres on quite rusty rims (even though I've done the same before).

Horrible ai advert praises slick gearchange (ha!) and then says clutch is slipping. Overall looks ok for the money. Wrong wheels for the year, but that’s being picky.

Photos look like something out of a 70s crime scene but I wonder if this could be saved.

Interior has some weird colour aging. Pink carpet and beige dash when it should all be the grey of the glove box. As was mine dull grey everywhere but a spaceship experience.

Ty DeLorean is back at it...

Even eBay's AI listing tool is getting the punches into him:

Quote

The DeLorean DMC 21 runs on petrol and is manufactured by Reliant.

Did he ever get the contract to supply these to the Taliban in the end? That's the batshit crazy story arc that I'd most like to see come to some sort of insane form of completion.

BTW, look at the 'giffer tat' bungalow where it lives!

My brother, who is in his mid forties and therefore technically not a giffer has loads of tin signs stuck to the front of his house. I always make a point of asking him for parts for my BSA every time I visit.
