breakdown truck

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

Ooh. Liking that narrow quad bike thing, but surely 1500 Watts is only just over 2 bhp, so even though it only weighs 85Kg, it's not exactly going to be a fast thing. Nice idea though but, and I reckon there must be space in there for a real engine. :mrgreen:
Also, a quad is primarily about carrying sick sheep from the top of a hill to the warmth of the kitchen, so where would a farmer put their sheep on that? :|

I worked as a shepherd for a while.. no such mod cons as a quad for me.. landrover that didn't have a straight panel left and when it wouldn't go tractor and trailer.. although no room for the 8 dogs in that...

Rich, I've found an interesting breakdown truck on eBay, yes, I said "Breakdown Truck". Imagine a Transit with the least likely engine transplant ever, even though Transits have been fitted with a greater variety of alien engines than any other kind of van. Probably.

What ever next, a Silver Shadow with an Essex V6 under its bonnet? The world truly has gone hatstand, but in a good way in that case.

Does history teach you nothing? Ford once owned 5 other luxury brands: Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar, Aston Martin, and Mercury. They also held a large minority share in Mazda. How the dead hand of Ford brought those illustrious companies to their knees and now you fancy one of Uncle Henry's power packs in Uncle Charles' finest. :sick:
(I'm sure that you know, but in case it just slipped your mind, Uncle Charles refers to Charles Rolls.)
