trimming chap?

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!)

Rich, a quick forum search has given this result, from engine rebuilder turned professional upholstery man Karisma which I'm guessing is the thread you were after?

I had saved that thread for some reason.. :?


On the other hand, Karisma isn't anywhere to be seen now and Classic Microcars is rarely more than a day or two away, so you have what appears to be a choice of such stuff. Competition should keep the cost down..
;) :scared:

A full leather interior is an option on the Tourneo. Your friend just needs to find one in a breakers and pinch the front seats.

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.

Leather furniture in a van? :? Sounds about as necessary as an ashtray on a motorcycle but hey, to each their own. :|

The Tourneo is a transit based luxury 8-15 seat minibus. You can get individual cigarette lighters, a/c controls, etc. From memory, they are pretty comfortable places to be.

Good grief, I would never have been able to get decent delivery drivers without all the gizmos. The Sprinter had just about everything including that wretched limp mode. Drivers need mollycoddling:
