Justwatching Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I've not properly introduced my shite, so here we go. My daily workhorse, a 2006 Saab 9-3 estate, and my most recent acquisition, a 1973 Ford LTD. The Saab is a six-speed manual with 1.9 turbo diesel, currently 123k. The Ford is a column shift automatic (three-speed I think, I forget) with 351 cu. in. (5.8 ltr) pushrod V8, current 109k. Next up, my 1960 Wolseley 1500. It's a four-speed manual with 1.5 BMC B-series pushrod engine. 86k ish (estimated as records indicate speedo change at some point). sdkrc, mitsisigma01, DVee8 and 39 others 42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one used in Terminator was a '75 facelift model (different grill and headlight surrounds, different tail lights). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartacus Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Nice, more pics and details of the LTD when possible please! Justwatching 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skizzer Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Oh my, that LTD is glorious. In some forgotten 70s cop show you could be Detective Second Grade to @danthecapriman’s Lieutenant with his slighty posher Mercury version. Lovely Wolseley too. What a colour combo. danthecapriman and Justwatching 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthecapriman Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Wonderful fleet you have there. That LTD though...😍 what a beast! You've got a very similar registration on it to mine too. I wonder if they came over at a similar time? Scruffy Bodger, LightBulbFun, mitsisigma01 and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyramrod Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Shropshire isn't too far. At some point if it's allowed we will be going down south - without Huggy, sadly - so an overnight stop could be arranged. Justwatching 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyramrod Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Very good! It's behind the car by what, half a mile? This was after my epic Lockdown Bodywork Orgy last year; I need to do some more this year too. Doctormop 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justwatching Posted April 2, 2021 Author Share Posted April 2, 2021 Lawnmower shite. This is my Hayter petrol lawnmower. British made (in Hertfordshire). Had it a year now and very happy with it. Changed the oil today (Morris Lubricants - also made in the UK), cleaned the air filter, checked spark plug gap, sharpened and balanced the blade.

Justwatching Posted May 25, 2021 Author Share Posted May 25, 2021 The Wolseley is gone, so I did the right thing and immediately set about buying another car. 🙄 Speculations invited. sdkrc, danthecapriman, Minimad5 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the thinking, I really do. But no. Clues will be given by way of esoteric photographs. You're all a bunch of car spergs, so I doubt this will take long. danthecapriman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
