Re: Classic hgv question
Good plan and I reckon there is a way around it especially if you have a Granddad license. I've seen ERF KV and Mickey Mouse Foden 4 wheelers down-rated to 7.5 ton but I don't know if the 8 leggers can go that far down. Remember you need to actually down-grade not just down-rate the vehicle to get i...

Re: Enjoy while you can
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...

Re: What did you do today?
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...

Re: Found pics
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. Even when I was 9 or 10 I remember...

Re: Found pics
Wonder if that giant stack, despite the Cambridge, isn't in Germany. Several clues - many Opel/VW carcasses, no number plates and finally I can't imagine any self-respecting scrappy in Sixties England wearing a hard hat..... These are fantastic images, though. I love the Lincs-registered 100E with i...

Re: Under the Borgward, down by the sea.........
After Brexit, these in black, with a Winkworth bell on the bumper will become the staple of Police Forces around the country.

But....I thought that after Brexit all Minis would be made in China.

Re: Under the Borgward, down by the sea.........
Can't really believe there is anyone left outside of a care home who is bothered what a Borgward even was. Just another cynical marketing move probably. I am only grateful the fucking Chinese haven't yet dragged out the Riley name, or indeed the Wolseley one.

Re: 2019 Anniversaries
Despite its body style was fashionable one Summer only, they stoically chucked them out for nine long years. [/quote] The rusty back doors off the miserable van version lasted for 21 years. I'll re-phrase that - they were stamped out for 21 years. Only Morris Minor and Mini panelwork had an equivale...

Re: 2019 Anniversaries
Have some dismal 1959 shit. It was the last year you could buy this from Ford.... 103e.jpg Despite being called Popular it was a hateful thing. This couple have packed theirs with kindling and taken it out to be incinerated. The woman is getting very impatient as Dad can't seem to light the burning ...
