Re: For sale

It was possible in an elan, but in a marcos, with the sunroof closed and the windows/doors closed, impossible!! I was much much smaller then aswell!

Re: Classic has nothing to do with age or who designed

Question ! Why were those bloody allegros nearly aways that sickly (in the true sense) yellow????? and that stupid square steering wheel UGH!!

I certainly like yachts of that era. But within a couple of years designers were pushing the envelope of the IOR too hard and producing very extreme craft.

Cant stand them mike!-- probably the worst car BLMC ever produced hidious shape and a complete rust bucket in its day IMHO of course.!

Any way who told you I had a fetish ? that was confidential between me and my councellor I don't have a fetish any more !! Anyway must go have some feet to lick and cream to smear all over her --------- .

Cheers all

Re: Classic has nothing to do with age or who designed

My first car was a 1953 Austin Somerset. Gear change on the column, Umberella handbrake under the dash, semaphore indicators, no seat belts. Cost me £120, which was a heck of a lot of money for an apprentice Electrician.

Every 3000 miles, change the oil and the cylinder head gasket! Taught me a lot about cars, though

Happy christmas all

Re: Classic has nothing to do with age or who designed

Jim,
My last car was a V12 E type, drophead, wionderful car after I finally got it sorted. But no room for a car onboard, so I have a 125 yamaha ha ha now on deck! Great fun and does't leak oil, unlike my old BSA!!

 

[Johnjo]

Nice car Colin
but don,t think it will ever be a classic,ha ha!!!

[ccscott49]

No, I know, but the one I had before that, I'll let you guess and it wasn't italian!

 

[Johnjo]

I,m no motor head!
so it will have to be a guess,some kind of merc or after reading your
posts and noting what a calm character you, could it be something very
British! bentley, Rolls perhaps? what ever it is, no doubt it will
have style,

 

[chippie]

Triumph Mayflower?






Just kidding.

 

[clyst]

Square edged, Column change not as nice as the Renown and about as popular as a Westerly Nomad!!!


Keep them coming!

Cheers all Terry-----------------One day all boats will be made of wood!!

like my dog, only my dog is better looking!
