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!)

:D That last one won't be stolen!

Voiturette, hmm, does it spy on you when you're in the shower then swear at you afterwards?
Talbot Tagora. Sweeeeeeeeeeet, and a water pump on the 2,2 isn't a bad job IIRC.
Darn you, Rich, why do you tempt me with many sexy old motors that I can't have but very much want? :cry:

You could have them, all you need to do is pay Rich to load one on to the back of his tipper and bring it over in exchange for you arranging his holiday hire-car (K10)
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

Rich, I'm stunned by your dedication to lost motoring causes mate! That's actually the second (or even the third?) list of Talbot Tagoras that you've posted in one of your regular threads on the topic of what can be bought in France for amazingly bargainous prices.
The Diesel Tagora at €1200 has me all weak at the knees. Oh wait, no, that's the rum doing that. :oops:

One of these days I'll find a genuine, unrestored and rot-free RHD Tagora Diesel auto in the UK with one owner, low miles and on sale at under £2000, until then I'll work the computer with one hand and lust over these French market specimens. :x

I think you'll be waiting a long time, Tagoras in the UK are rarer than the proverbial rocking-horse droppings, however if you want to lust over a field full of immaculate examples, come to the Simca Matra Talbot international meeting at Beaulieu on 11-13th July 2014. ;)
