Re: What did you do today?

Pity she didn't wear a cardigan so I could ignore the tats. I do wonder at those algorithms though, I keep getting recommendations featuring variously clad women cranking reluctant European vehicles over. Perhaps I should stop watching them for a bit......

Probably won't be for a couple of years, so it's now behind the sofa where it'll be safe & not rust.
Might be safe but I bet it still rusts.

Re: Wobland Spottage

I remember having a Mk1 Granny estate that was rather knackered to say the least. As I didn't want to turn up at a job interview in something that sounded like a Wellington and smoked like an A4 Pacific I hired a breadvan Polo for a couple of days. I swear I could have parked it in the back of the G...

Yeah I am not a fan of bubble arches and Wolfies but did find that Jag strangely nostalgic.....

Re: Found pics

There have been one or two 2 door PA conversions, must be a bugger of a job. Maybe best to buy a '58 Belair or Studebaker Champion in the first place?! That Wolfie'd Jag reminds me of one that was in Custard Cart or similar back in the Seventies. Flared out like that one, I have an idea it was calle...

He would have had a field day this afternoon....95 year old doing the Twist, FFS. Alright she didn't get down very far but she still shook both her (presumably new) hips.

Re: What did you do today?

Readied myself for the coming Non-Winter season(s). Chrysler put to bed up the barn with a list of jobs on the passenger seat, most important being nailing the coolant loss but also a couple of wheel bearing advisories to look at. Van is now out and about but has developed an occasional misfire whic...

Re: What did you do today?

I have a sneaking regard for those, a bloke at work bought one. Had absolutely no bother with it all the time I worked with him and he would very much have bought at the bottom of the curve. They even look decent for the age, too, a linear descendant of the 100s...

Re: What did you do today?

Visited the transport museum in Dundee today. Some nice displays but only takes about 30 minutes to see it all. Highlight for me was a Lincoln Continental that someone must have loaned them. Sorry, no pics This one? 432941092_2730322610470346_8896574033838165016_n.jpg Seems to be a local Yank club ...

Re: Found pics

Oldsmobiles....1960, 1959 which I think are both Super 88s, the '59 being the flat top 4 door hardtop "Holiday Sedan" edition. Wagon is a 1969 Vista-Cruiser based on the midsize Cutlass despite its apparent length. That '55 (I think) Ford Ranch Wagon in the background of the middle pic is ...
