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!)

Just spotted this mate, I have a slight preference for four wheels on Imps, but the 875 is always a good bet and their strong GRP monocoque means that they will withstand being the wrong way up with only the (perspex) rear screen popping out to cause some inconvenience. I followed one up a trial course once, the guy rolled it off the mud into some dense bracken so he got out, put it back the right way up (with passenger still in her seat throughout :shock: ), checked that he hadn't lost any engine oil and then moved off again, he never bothers to put the back window in for events as he knows he'll end up having to find it and refit it if he does, and that small piece of perspex doesn't half fly once the wind gets under it!

I do have a fondness for some French radio sets though, but more the brightly coloured acrylic cabinets from the likes of Radialva, circa mid '50s than a bunch of brown wooden ones. Nice buy for someone though, so I'll post that link at the radio forum.
One of the sets in that lot is a Polish one from the mid '60s that has some technically interesting qualities. :thumbs:
