Back to it then.

I don't care what it is, you still look like you're curling one out.

Push.

Kind of in order, I think. Few forgotten as they were obviously too rubbish to live long in the memory and lots owned concurrently, but all used as daily drivers at one time or another.

First choice: Mk1 Mexico. Second choice: Mk2 Escort. Managed the second choice but still waiting for the 'right' first choice.

Surely there's less chance if popularity increases and more people want to save them? As is the case with old Fords, increased popularity leads to increased prices and, while that may be a bad thing for someone wanting to pick up a good honest project at an affordable price, it means they're less likely to be snaffled by the banger boys on the cheap. Hopefully they'll then stick to cheaper modern tat that, rather than being rare like a nice old Granny, is easier to pick up than a questionable rash.

Gutted!

Is this a confession?

lol the old tool has seen sense and doesn't get it out in the winter in case the salt rusts it. So it's just the summer when it can overheat instead. I've tried to tell him, it's a lose-lose situation and the price you pay for indulging in automotive mediocrity. And tweed.

What, the Range Rover?

I've just realised, that's 680 lb.ft of torque!

Real smart. Not seen a YB on bike carbs before: which are they, and what's it go like?

Hell of an engine, hell of a price.

With one usually comes the other. Ahem...

Midget tossing.

It's forecast for a couple of days in August this year.

My God, what's happened to 'Fair Weather Willsy'?!

Did she know?

There was some right crap on TV today, and this week as a whole. However, to counter this and avoid the subsequent feeling of disappointment I decided not to watch it. I enjoyed Top Gear though and, as one of the few car shows left on TV, will continue to do so.

Looked like Roger Clark to me. Only slower, with cheap shoes and a funny voice.

A big box of tissues.

I'll put £10 on one of Hayley's plums falling out.

"Would you like to see my puppies?"

RIP, legend.

Had loads more today. This was this morning before trying to go and follow the RAC rally... Even deeper now, with more on its way. Gonna have a few now and then off sledging later...
