Re: Zel's Fleet Blog...Citroen, Mercedes, Sinclair & AC Model 70

:shock: That looks like a barcode and there are too many colours, which are mostly in the wrong order. Rich, thank goodness you're a builder and not an interior decorator! :lol:
Oh wow! This new laptop allowed me look at fb without asking me to select cookies. :oops:

I love that limo!
Me too! Here's hoping it can be rescued but, if not, there must be some useful spares on the thing. 8-)

Re: Ford Anglia 106e (LHD) Estate - Now in the USA!

Wow! Surely the red vehicle, whose suspension component is attached to the rest of the structure by fresh air, can't be driveable? Least of all in a straight line. :shock: Is it just me, or are there at least twelve yellow chalk fails (if tested to MOT standard) in that single image? It'll need a re...

I'm only 57 and am already similarly afflicted. :scared:

Re: Introductions

Oops, missed this. Having posted in other areas I'm a bit late here. Don't be worrying about that, very few of us seem to post in this section. My name is Tony and I like cars... Sadly, there's currently no 12 step programme available to those of us who live with this catastrophic dependency, so th...

Re: breakdown truck

🙂👍Dammit man, I'm forced to admit that I actually like that! High seating position, automatic and big enough to live in. Only the leather furniture puts me off but even that isn't the end of the world. You do realise, don't you, that you've made me like the idea of a modern vehicle! :oops: :lol: No,...

Re: breakdown truck

I had the dubious pleasure of working on a Whitby Warrior once long ago, its owner, who had just bought the thing that day, brought it into the workshop complaining of its terrible performance. He'd been a mini nut and had owned a Moke, a Mini Marcos and a Stimson Scorcher so, for this guy, the Warr...

Re: What classic vehicles have you seen?

Hmm, perhaps the steam engined vehicle is marginally less practical than your lovely looking blue Benz, but to bring a roadworks gang to a location I think that a modern welfare van, although more efficient, just wouldn't have the charm of the pair of Dibnah-esque mobile canteens. Surely everyone lo...

It's a Polo of a certain age under all of the commercial and WAV stuff, so surely there's only one thing that can be done to recolour the vehicle in a marque appropriate way:

Go on, you know it makes sense! 8-)
