I used to have one of those! Mine was a lot bigger (and rustier) though ...

It also featured one of the worst bodges I've ever seen. Someone had given it new piston rings sometime before I bought it, but had bought the wrong sized rings. Instead of going out and buying the next size up, they'd cut the rings in half and stuck the two halves into the piston. I don't know how they'd got it to run like this, but they obviously had, because all four bores were gooved where the cut ends of the rings had been. :o

Give that man a CEEGAR!
Very rusty but complete, allegedly the doors bootlid and bonnet are in storage. If he doesn't get a move on there'll not be much to hang them on...

Whilst out rolling round my hood in the Caddy,I saw this Bentley just up the road in Bletchingley ,which was modified by 'Chop Shop' :-

I had a close look at it,and was ready to give it a chance,but it is really,really badly done :sad:

Through Godstone I followed this Harry Potter spec Anglia :-

..and finally I saw this Kia Pride :-

Which was in great nick and I haven't seen one for a while,which is my excuse.

:D Yay! Kia Pride FTW. I love those more than Frank loves carpets.** **Click Here.

That Bentley looks ok in the picture, I'm guessing that it's not quite all there when you have the misfortune of being close to the thing.

And finally, what have the Chop Shop guys done to Bletchingley and why?

That Bentley had swirl marks in the paint and pop rivets visible ... nasty.

It was burning about as much petrol as it was oil judging from the blue haze and the smell!
