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!)

Does the '35 Citroen come with a ghost? If so, could be useful helping with some of the heavy and boring bits of the restoration!

:lol: :lol:

From the previous selection, I'll have the Econoline truck please, or the Jeep, which is rather lovely and would win my undivided attention in any other company, but that truck is just so useful and the amazing, small, white and almost cubic thing would sit nicely in the Ford's pickup bed so you could take the toilet car to shows without ever actually being required to drive it. Or you could park it by the checkouts in your local supermarket, make sure you add flashing lights and a coin-op mechanism.

From the latest lot, all of them please. I'll collect and will even bring my own dustpan & brush..

:P

I'll grant you that the Jeep is rather good, but I've got my name on that, as you are so easily pleased why don't you go and have a rummage among some of B/L disasters, sorry, finest? There's one of those Princess wedge things that a bucket of water, a spot of weld and a lick of paint could get you excited. I've even remembered to throw in a Maxi and a Marina. You can probably take the lot home in the BMC van. Happy welding.

Poor SD1. You can fit a 5.0 in the front with a couple of turbos ;)
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.

Can the SD1's engine not be fuelled with paraffin? Or that hooch that you rural French types make in the hut? :mrgreen:

GHT, you promised Marina content and didn't provide, so now I have sore fingers for nothing. :x ;)
