I also bought a Triumph Acclaim exhaust. The only place that seems to stock them is a seller in Germany...
It's because Triumph Acclaim rather loosely translates as "sieg heil" in German ;-)

Mrs Rocker also collects wheeled objects. Today was the day for a spring clean and a chance for her to walk them around the block.....

∆∆∆ I was shoving my grandson along the pavement in one of those shitty modern pushchairs when the cruddy wheel fell off and I remembered how well prams used to be made. Mind you, now he's 18 I should really make him walk...

The cars seem to be bigger than the house.

And I'm pretty sure that monstrosity next to the Triumph won't fit into that garage.

Still, I expect the house was ever so cheap.

It looks like a type of house where a Ford Model Y would not look out of place. Does the man of the house wear spats? The Great British Public would scoff at a modern car designed to look old, yet happily settle in newbuild houses the Romans would be outraged at.
