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!)

So are you guys saying that it's wrong to like the Maestro then? :oops: :oops: :oops: That could return a reasonable yield from the film prop rental market. :D

It needs all the stupid rubbish pulled off it ASAP to make it a usable car.
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: Ah! pretending not to be in love with the car so that you can eventually buy it for about sixpence eh? Oldest trick in the book that one is. ;)

No far from it. Shed of the week looks for any presentable roadworthy car that's worth £1000 or less and that is worth a punt on. Some are relatively new (maybe 8-10 years old) and good long term investments, others are track dogs that may be fun but most are German Barges.

Good to see some unusual tin.

Just a shame its covered in debris.

Handy if you local electrician is Rich, you never know when there will be a fire ;)

That looks like a good project for someone.
