Re: MGB GT fettling

Re: MGB GT fettling

Must be approaching original mini width? I have to assure some passengers that although it feels like ...

Re: MGB GT fettling

20230221_125416.jpg I took the Tonka toy Terios for MOT yesterday and it got a clean pass :mrgreen: Not bad for a car that's getting on for 18 years old! The MOT testers first words were "they rot really badly". There is not one single bit of rust anywhere underneath it :shock: I think he...

M54 crash and vehicle fire causes long delays.

Oops. That looks expensive but at least they've done a proper job of it and walked away.

Surely it's not £300 an oz now? :shock: I know a few people who smoke it & I got the impression it was about half that. How does that relate to the price of a 9 bar? Well 3.5 grams to the eighth so 35 x 8 x 9 = £2520 When some clever cunt decided to start selling it in metric they got a profit ...

Re: The UK's fascination with convertible cars

I'm another one that likes convertibles but only ever owned one. I do however tend to buy cars with sunroofs if I can and observe the mantra, use it or lose it, which has kept me in good stead over the years. Sadly not with the latest car which leaks but not all the time, it was broken before I owne...
