Sorry Terry, naturally I was messing and in fact wouldn't go anywhere near a cigar as they're really smelly and make you cough.
Must away, I have a kangaroo to tie down.
Rich, you're a bad influence on me!

No, probably not. Unless of course you've been sticking pins in a wax effigy of me since I was around 12 years of age, that might explain my taste in old cars?
And swiftly trying to stop digging; this W&P Range Rover, do we get to drool over piccies of it please?

Ooh, those wheels. I remember a time when they were the default custom wheel of choice on everything from shagged-out Cortinas with jacked up rear suspension to exotic custom beauties that used to lurk between the covers of Street Machine mag.
Then BMW reinvented these wheels, VW put their take on the concept onto Golf R32s and suddenly, there we all were, back in the late '70s again.
Magic, jumpers for goal posts, etc.

Why do you need to be in the 70s to have jumpers for goal posts? I was doing that at school in the 90s and from what my friends say, kids are still doing it now.
I suspect they complain at their kids as much as my parents complained at me for ruining school shoes by playing football at lunch time.
However a set of those alloys would look superb on the 1970s range I am trying to get my hands on (the engine would be good too)
