Not so much cheesy as scarily expensive. See hear(Lucas windtone horns).
My car's bling cost as much as my wife's eternity ring.
The big fluffy pair quote reminded me of an answer my wife gave to someone asking why the car was called Jessica.
"Like her famous namesake, she's a redhead, she has a great body and she's got a cracking pair of hooters."

i scrounged a radio for my workshop recently, not sure if it works but it looks lovely..very similar to this one..

I'm intrigued by the presentation plaque on that set. I'm almost 100% certain that the Island in question has its very own steam supply and that it was first discovered over there as long ago as 1962, becoming available to anyone whose benefits would stretch to such luxuries. Why then is there a special boat to take the steam across in special packets?

Is it left hand drive?

Is what LHD? Le knob de Rich? Pictures required please, Rich.

mine is rhd, i scrounged it from a uk workshop that my cousin was clearing out..
i will try & take pictures of my extra knob, although i may have trouble finding a camera with a wide enough lens

@You'd probably be better off with a Macro-zoom lens Rich - the wide angle lens would probably make it look even smaller.

That is far too good for workshop use. It uses the Eddystone 898 flywhhel drive and is much sought after. Please sell it to someone who will appreciate it and buy yourself a Dixon's boombox with the proceeds, for the workshop.

am i right in thinking you are based in gloucester? if so i can drop it off in exchange for something shiny next time im in blighty...

I'm sure that something can be arranged!
