I get purple clouds, but seems to be working fine in any other area. I use Safari.

@Rally Pack 2000 I don’t think they outsold the Mk2/3 Cortinas but they went coke bottle shape and OHC nearly 4 years before the Mk3 Cortina. It is very comfortable to drive, what little driving I’ve done, as the tyres are over 20yrs old and have not done 3k miles!! T belt just arrived as that is 15yrs old, then it’s get some tyres time. The boot length is shorter than the Mk2 Cortina estate, and Which magazine rated the Cortina higher. I find it more comfortable to sit in than any of the Mk3/4’s our kid had back in the day, the seat squab's not as low and my back is now knackered. The most important thing is that my wife likes it. I missed it at the auction and bought it off a dealer I’ve used before so this old Old Bill got spanked good and proper, but you’re only old and daft once!😂 A fine vintage E10 would deffo taste better than gunge I was expressing through my exhaust and inlet valves

£530K, That’s nearly a box of tomatoes! 😂😂

@Rally Pack 2000 James, Yes it's the one from the videos. Regarding the bug, at 01.30 on Monday morning I was sat on the khazi with my head in a feed bucket praying I wouldn’t form a siphon............😂

I have just acquired another new toy to replace the blue Volvo which needed engine work so was swiftly returned. I wanted a longroof to cart the family to shows, and I’ve always loved the shape of the FD Victor, saw this and missed it, then it came up for sale again, life’s too short so it’s now mine Victor 2000SL.

I’ve just collected a bug you can have, generously shared by my toddler grandson, it came from his playgroup. Ive spent the last 24 hrs within 20 feet of a toilet and bucket. I dare not cough either!

On a golf tour in Ireland, Tiger Woods drives his BMW into a petrol station in a remote part of the Irish countryside. The pump attendant, who obviously knows nothing about golf, greets him in a typical Irish manner completely unaware of who the golfing pro is. "Top of the mornin' to yer, sir" says the attendant. Tiger nods a quick "hello" and bends forward to pick up the nozzle. As he does so, two tees fall out of his shirt pocket onto the ground. "What are those?" asks the attendant. "They're called tees" replies Tiger. "Well, what on the god's earth are they for?" inquires the Irishman. "They're for resting my balls on when I'm driving", says Tiger. "Feckin Hell", says the Irishman, "BMW thinks of everything !

Merry Christmas Y’all, I only bought a 3/8 drive imperial socket from Halfords sale last week, arrived within 14hrs from ordering, £20 delivered with a 2yr warranty, it is only to chuck in the back of the Escort for emergencies and not have my Britool set in there. It would have been rude not too.

I'd love a Landcruiser but cannot justify one, fantastic bits of kit.

Sadly now owned by the Chinese.

Were they trying to make it amphibious?

So that’s where they all went to, down to Oz to send Roos to Roo heaven. I must admit it’s built in an agricultural fashion, and like me it’s big and numb!😂

I currently need a comfortable toy for longer runs as the Escort hurts on anything other than local stuff, hip knackered. I couldn’t afford something in Olympic Blue, so I bought Volvo’s nearest today. I might have to order some Red corduroys, a Barbour jacket, and a tweed cap.

Black for me too, or maybe Gulf Orange just for the giggles.

I had a Golf that was that reliable once, the dealer had it more than I did, traded it in at 5 months old.

Nah James, that’s a given, we don’t need to talk about it anymore!😂🤣😂

Only part watched one many years ago, listening to Mike Brewer made me turn it off. I remember the year he popped up presenting ITV4? Isle of Man TT, he ruined it, he was like the annoying kid who wanted to be in the gang but tried too hard and just annoyed. Jane Omorogbe was on the same programmes and she came across as an informed reporter and a knowledgeable biker, knowing when to stf when the racers and ex racers were taking.

I always fancied a Forward Control, but with a 37” inside leg I can only sit in the back!

I got sent down to London in 1989 to attend a Michelin tyre examiners course. I got off the train and a flying rat crapped on my head, I haven’t been back to London since. Us Northern Monkeys take these things personally.

Who me James? As if I would even suggest it’s from the Southern Hemisphere😂. (The clue is in the GB plate on the van). It’s a bit of a Marmite, (or even Vegemite), car. I don’t like Marmite, and I don’t like Vegemite either.

Wow! That’s the mothers of 50% of the kids in the rural area I grew up in the 1970’s would have had a child support claim,

James, I accept your apology on behalf of your compatriots and their lack of wheel taste, also your secret Street Machine mag fetish is safe with us. 😂
