Isn’t there truth in the fact that the first Scimitar should have been a Daimler? it was designed by karen ogle of ogle design im sure it as meant to have the v8 daimler engine as an option. Yes, the shape of the Scimitar was first submitted by Ogle as the SX250 for a Helena Rubenstein cosmetic com...

Mk3 Cortina.

Drove 'em new, drove 'em with 200,000 miles on the clock. Absolutely no difference.

No, that does not mean that shagged ones drove mint, either......

Mk4s were better but so was a Cavalier, Fiat 131, Peugeot 504, Morris Ital...OK Maybe not the Ital but you get the idea.

I often have a sneaky "want" for one of these before the tide turns on the values. They have a certain kind of "Green Hornet's Black Beauty" appeal which is fitting for a Chrysler product. However words like "reprogramme" frighten me a lot more than the fuel bills. Good...

Remember you need to actually down-grade not just down-rate the vehicle to get i...

I think Jo's title is all we need to heed. Not just regarding pending legislation, lack of interest in spotty yoofs or any other future consideration. Just enjoy while we can. Even if everything is rosy in the unforeseen doesn't mean we will all be around to enjoy it or our cars are actually going t...

I struggle to do anything midway through a week of early shifts other than slump in a chair and wonder when the fuck I can give up working. However, a sudden burst of energy this evening (which, incidentally, I credit with binning the salad lovingly crafted by Mrs Rocker and going up the caff for pa...

Did you spot the Austin Nash Metropolitan? [/quote] Yes! Even if I hadn't I would have been sure there was at least one lurking there.....They were standard issue scrapyard fodder in the late 60s when I used to poke around as a kid until the foreman chucked me out.
