JeeExEll Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Inverness-based Snowcrab. So who's driving the car the pic's being taken from?Maybe not a car. Sherpa or Transit maybe? flat4alfa and Lacquer Peel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeeExEll Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Oh fuck, yeah I had these non-Recaro checked GL-type seats in a gold Mk3 3.0S about 30 years ago and very fine they were too. Sort of 3.0S base. My one had a steel sunroof though. I don't think the car in the pic had a tilty-slidey sunroof. Every 3.0S for sale now seems to have the optional extra-cost Recaros which were mega comfy but were a bit more fragile and didn't wear so well. A bit like every Mk2 RS2000 being a factory "Custom" now. GrumpiusMaximus, Laseraligningfoofooflanges, danthecapriman and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeeExEll Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I had one of these from Santa, in 1974 I think. Press the roof-light and it says police things. A battery-operated tape-loop thing.Fuckin fantastic when you're 6.Still is Probably some on ebay for peanuts if anyone interested, I think they were made by Tomy.

JeeExEll Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Still got my triumph in its box.Do you know the other sounds it made?I seem to remember "Calling All Cars" or something like that. I think it had something like ten different sounds which it would play in random order. After a few years I took my one to bits and it must have just got binned. It maybe got customised with different wheels then crashed or set on fire. It was meant to be a 2000 but the proportions were more like a Doloshite or a Toledo.

JeeExEll Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Yes of course it's bogus, I was just messin about for a few minutes with a free picsart app on my tablet, (kwality "alterations"), wasn"t sure if anyone would even notice it Unless anyone else knows different . . . stranger things have happened than the BL production of a 2-door 1275 Princess. Like the 1275cc Rover SD1 5-speed. Or the slant transverse-straight-8 3600 Landcrab to be badged as a Triumph.

Dan_ZTT Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I always wonder how they choose the unmarked cars. Got passed on the motorway yesterday by not one but two Skoda Superb estates flashing them blue lights. Red one looked totally wrong with them but I guess that's the point.

Kiltox Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 See some really odd unmarked stuff in London regularly - VW Touran, Hyundai ix35 etc. Proper mundane unexpected stuff. Like you say, I guess that’s the point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
