Re: Austin A70 Hampshire

That Hereford Coupe is superb! Austin really did have some line-up throughout the 1940s, in complete contrast to the likes of Rover and Standard with their one model policies - even Ford, Morris and Vauxhall only fielded offerings in two sectors of the market. Admittedly, Morris had a bigger version...

Re: Austin A70 Hampshire

I have a feeling I saw that particular A70 out across the New Forest one evening a few years back, certainly didn't think there were any in this vicinity so maybe he had a holiday down this way.

Re: Austin A70 Hampshire

Well done, AD....The Hampshire is richly deserving of such a prize, after all you have saved two cars not just one and my experience of Austin Clubs tells me that the only other candidate would not for a moment begrudge you the award. Crich is a fantastic backdrop for cars of this era, they look ext...

Re: Found pics

There is a non-Detroit onslaught hareing down the beach towards that '59 Skyliner too! Couple of Studes and a Nash/Rambler. These are great photos, not just for the cars of course but the people and the buildings as well as that great outdoors feel you always get in North America. Probably well wort...

Re: United States of GRIZZ - Just how random do you want it?

I saw that briefly in another of your posts and still didn't click when you mentioned getting an SLK! Very surprised it is not battery powered instead of the archaic (but highly effective) drivetrain that looks identical to my childhood Tri-Ang.....

Re: What did you do today?

Had to get some stuff so took the Chrysler out for a waft. It involved getting up to the barn where it currently lives - two cars to do one errand, so much for saving money.....Bastard lit the fuel light up so that was another £20 before the gauge moved. Re-set the clock to BST, put current through ...

Re: Eddie Honda's wheels of steel (and occasionally alloy)

Focus does MP3 discs but the T25 doesn't. That in the Chrysler won't play anything, hence why I was interested in the blue-tooth solution but all too much fucking bother for me......Got a Great Lads SD reading cheapo in the Minor which works well enough for me. Even has a remote.....
