Refurbishing/improving my very rusty bumpers So far done a flap disc, wire wheel and abrasive pad. Actually quite tempted to call it quits here and lacquer it to stop it flash rusting over! I have run out of lacquer though which is annoying as I wanted to get the bumpers back on today to give it a s...

Yeah it was an sri that I drove. 130bhp from a 2.0 wasn't particularly earth shattering at the time. Mazda managed that from a 1.8 and British Leyland with the Dolomite Sprint with that power 20 years earlier. But it was quick. Admittedly I had only been driving for a year or so and so probably the ...

The Cavalier 2.0 was a pretty fast machine back in the day. Much quicker than any right it had to be.

I like these a lot. Shame they're so expensive and rot just as bad as anything British Leyland.

Looking through the Anglia Car Auction results for today, the prices definitely seem a bit more suppressed for pre 80s stuff. Post 80s and even 00s seem to be fetching decent money still though.

Took the old girl for a quick run on our road outside our house and nearly ended through the windscreen when I gave them a prod. Engine running okay. Feels a bit stumbly but th...

Nice number plate on that. Complete with the obligatory strategically placed white fixing.

You shouldn't have asked. Better to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

Problem is, I'm still asking for forgiveness on my P4 even after a few weeks.

Took the day off work yesterday to get a whole lot of bits and pieces sorted on the Rover. The choke warning light came back to life on its own. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230401/110c447920f409358821c8c0db573fcf.jpg Bled the brakes. Not easy when you're on your own (wife at work). So used a ...

The only problem you might have with these tyres is the speedometer and mileometer over-reading. Then again, Avon Turbospeeds weren't as 'tall' as other cross ply tyres. Nothing seems to generate more misinformed bollocks in motoring circles than crossply tyres. Providing you aren't driving like a ...
