Re: The Cuckoos of Automotive History - Developed by one brand, built by another
An obvious one, perhaps, but Shelby developed the Cobra way beyond it's AC Ace origins. Likewise Caterham with the Lotus Seven.

Re: The Cuckoos of Automotive History - Developed by one brand, built by another
Isn’t there truth in the fact that the first Scimitar should have been a Daimler? it was designed by karen ogle of ogle design im sure it as meant to have the v8 daimler engine as an option. Yes, the shape of the Scimitar was first submitted by Ogle as the SX250 for a Helena Rubenstein cosmetic com...

Re: Cars that I thought would not be shit but were
Mk3 Cortina.
Drove 'em new, drove 'em with 200,000 miles on the clock. Absolutely no difference.
No, that does not mean that shagged ones drove mint, either......
Mk4s were better but so was a Cavalier, Fiat 131, Peugeot 504, Morris Ital...OK Maybe not the Ital but you get the idea.

Re: Late Teenage Rebellion contains V8
I often have a sneaky "want" for one of these before the tide turns on the values. They have a certain kind of "Green Hornet's Black Beauty" appeal which is fitting for a Chrysler product. However words like "reprogramme" frighten me a lot more than the fuel bills. Good...

Re: Orange rapportering - F133 and other shit

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...
