Re: Building the Leg End. The Old Jag thread.

All the car dealers I knew (back when God was a lad) never used to lock their cars, they all reckoned that if the cunts wanted it, they'd have it away and broken glass was a pain in the arse to deal with. I of course always go against the grain and lock everything. Didn't work when the scrotes wante...

Re: Found pics

Everyone had a Parka back in the day. The sooner you got rid of the fucking thing, the cooler you were!

Crombie's for the win!





And Brothel creepers or Brogues.

Re: EBay Finds

I've taxed worse! I passed p on an Interceptor many moons ago for £600, absolutely mint but some light-fingered twat had pinched the engine!

Oh, and the Vauxhall reg is M123 MOT so not as good as I implied.

Re: The Triumph Mayflower.

The new plates look excellent, I am a fusspot so I CAN tell the difference! I'm really quite envious of your Triumph, wanna swap for a Jag/Mer/Dog?

Re: What did you do today?

I took the Jag down to TQ1 garage for its MOT and service tomorrow. I have a Corsa (what the fuck is with the indicators?) as a 'get me home' job, reg number MOT123! Just had a phone call, they had a cancellation so have MOT'd it early... it failed! Gutted... Not really, was sort of expecting it, it...

Re: What did you do today?

Re: What Classic ?

Has anyone suggested the Triumph Vitesse yet? I think (though I have never driven one) they are the canine's conkers, they sound fantastic and with a separate chassis relatively long-lived. I do know that you can fit the crank from a 2.5 to get a BIG engine. I'd love one to be honest but I never see...

Re: What Classic ?

I'm undecided between the Rover and the Triumph (had both, liked both) so how about a lazy choice... XJ6?

Yes, indeed they like to rust but then everything interesting did but they are super-duper vehicles to waft around in and surprisingly rapid when pressed.
