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!)

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.

:lol: Is it just me, or would it be easier to open the door and stand on the top of the step to reach the roof. Or has the doorstep long since rotted away?

It's a cissy bar! :P ;)

im not that tall!! when im stacking timber plasterboard or ladders etc i climb on to the roof, the front ladder is ideal for that.. i used to climb up the back doors but they have been likely to fall off for years

Do you seriously think your Mrs would allow you to have Christine (all be it with a big bottom)? They are comfortable in a straight line but wallow a lot on windy roads (I hired one for a long weekend a couple of years ago). Saying that I would love to own one even if the Mrs says no more cars.

At least we now know that the reason we don't see more Crayford Williams in the UK is that they're all in France.

I had the chance to get a Crayford William in 1992. I spent the cash on something more useful like booze, tabs and high class professional companionship :oops: . "High Class" being localese for "own hair and teeth, receipts for same can be viewed."
