Re: Squire's voitures
Thank you chaps, it's a rare bird I was fortunate to come by. After years of small engined shite sitting at 60 MPH this has been a revelation for long-distance travel.

Re: Squire's voitures
Time for some Snipe news. The front brakes used to squeal like a bitch until I fitted these shims from Past Parts that Angrydicky helped me with finding. IMG_5235.JPG To briefly recap, I have done a lot of work to this car to bring it up to scratch. The brakes were giving trouble because the servo w...

Re: Tales of the Thunderturd
Nice old girl. Did the Thunderbirds pave the way for the Mustang? It seems a similar type of car, albeit showing its Fifties roots.

Re: Weird new car warranty exclusions
On a different tangent, Waterman made a Hundred Year Pen announced with a fanfare of publicity, of which I have an example, guaranteed for a century. However it was only the nib covered by the guarantee, not the lucite pen barrel which are prone to crumble away over time.

I enjoy it for the escapism and the odd potential hidden gem. But yes the early starts and packing up are shit. It's as if the traders don't want to be there themselves.

Re: Superb Pathe film, BMC sponsored?
Good old film. Nice to see the old police Wolseleys. Those 6/80 and Morris Six cars had a funny engine with an unhealthy appetite for exhaust valves. I think 15-20k miles was the norm.

The autojumble, or, I should've stayed in bed, thread.
I do enjoy a good root through other people's cast offs. Can't but help myself sift through boxes of filthy rubbish in the hope of finding that elusive gem.
