No probs

Very nice. Love the Anglia. Couldn't resist it... Or maybe...

Show was great mate, really enjoyed it. I saw the 1st show on saturday morning. Went round and saw the cars yes, saw Oliva Shame the Police car wasn't a bit closer. Would have liked to see the MG Limo up close too.So you drove the blue Rover? Did you get to talk to the Top Gear guys at all?

Pics (and maybe vids) soon

That looks wicked mate! The most unexpected cars can look so good given the right modifications! I love the fact that its almost standard (looks wise) apart from the slammage and the deep wheels. Really makes a dfference Don't go putting me off of Anglias now!! I've changed my mind too much about cars as it is

What Volvo do you want then?? You leaving it as standard?? Volvos look wicked slammed!!

What is the age restriction for a classic car policy? It shouldn't be too much to insure a one litre car though should it? Yes, I see what you mean. I didn't mean the whole way accoss, just on the metal pillars either side. im sure its 21 , 'dad, if i give you the cash insure m car and me as the 2nd driver pleasssssseeeee' thats the ONLY way to insure e unless ur a millionaire Yes I suppose, the only thing is, wouldn't be building a no claims bonus. Do you reckon I should be a 2nd driver with my dad for a few years??

Thanks mate!

Right, My dad has recently moved to a place with quite a decent sized garage. This means the most important time in my life has begun! Right. Here are my ideas. Car Ford Anglia 105e, Find one in a reasonable condition but needing a re-build and minor repair work. Technical Standard 997cc or 1200 running well and up rated alternator for reliability. Disk brakes all round and Halogen headlights. Race harnesses on standard seats (not buckets but maybe MK1/MK2 Cortina seat conversion if they will fit), Roll cage without diagonal so back seats can still be used, Interier CD player hidden in glove box with hidden 6 by 9s hidden in the rear interior panels. My plans for those is to re-build that section with thin MDF to support the speakers better than hardboard and re cover in the acoustic material. Standard black vynal interior, Black leather steering wheel, checkered front parcel shelf, satin black roll cage, black fitted carpets, lotus style gear stick set up to bring the gear stick closer rather than have the long and bendy original. Exterier Emin White body colour with checkered roof with large squares (Mini Cooper style) As low as I can get it without it being un-practical, 7X13 4 spoke Revos with black centers and polished rim. Standard bumpers and checkered vynal on the metal behind the grill so checkers show up through the grill, apart from that, pretty clean and simple. I want the car to have a very black and white appearance but mainly white as the car is small so IMO lighter colours work best. What do you guys reckon? If anyone fancies photoshopping an Anglia for me it would be much appreciated. Any suggestions/advice welcome. Ray.

I am a girl Well maybe you get away with it (just!) but are you a chavvy girl?? I'm just going to stop before I dig myself any deeper!

Chavvy and very un cool. BTW front wheel drive cars are for girls

Oh dear oh dear! Grandad's crashed into Halfords again!

No mate, I downloaded photoshop so it only came with that program and I don't even know how to use that! Any other ways of doing it? Edit: Just discoverd that I do have it!

Yeah, that's cool, looks like a mustang at quick glances.

i don't think Clarkson understood that the wheels he claimed were put on the car from factory and looked like they had been fitted from a grand piano, were actually 5 spoke Revos! Were they not? good episode though! Bit of a waste of good cars, but hey!

Cool How do you change it?

How do I make gif images? I have seen a few I like, flashing headlights, short videos and quick very short slideshows in peoples signatures and display pics, how do i make em? I feel like I'm missing out on something! Cheers in advance!

I see, what will they do when it gets to the middle of the year though, I mean, they have 07, then 57, then 08 etc but will that not mean an extra digit after 2009??

What will happen to number plates when we get past 2009? I have been looking at plates on new cars and there is no room to fit another number in the space. They can't make the numbers smaller because all of the technology set up to read number plates will be fit for the skip! Anyone know what will happen?

I don't have photoshop, I have had a fiddle on paint though, nothing compared to others on here but here is my ms paint attempt! Shaved door handles, de-badged, shaved indicators, goodbye lady, new rims, lights and some slamage!

TELL ME MORE!!

Did I spy a MK2 Cortina in the series preview at the beggining??
