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!)
Very nice. Not only very nice but also (IMHO of course) so much cooler than yet another VW van.
OK, so my own '73 loaf was a spectacularly bad example but I can't get the foul-smelling, slow, uncomfortable, thirsty, unreliable and generally incredibly rubbish sack of crap out of my head. Even now, the sight of a "patinated" 'dub at a show - or worse, on the road - triggers my gag reflex.
So if it's cool vans we like, feast your eyes folks:
I couldn't care less about the cars, even after I'd had a hurl in one and experienced its traditional British build quality at first hand. However the plant, the dealer (s?) and the parts supply business were employing people who may now have little choice but to become strippers, perfecting their dance routines in a disused warehouse to pass the time of day.
Come to think of it, there was an ADO71 in that film so maybe my comparison with the fate of British Steel isn't so far short?
J "Home is where you park it", so the saying goes. That may yet come true..
This thread looks like an appropriate place for a link SWMBO sent me http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... e-masthead
Some photos from inside MG-Rover at Longbridge.
I quite fancy snaffling the TF shell and building it.
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.

Well that's for sure, I'm still waiting to see if he gets his rocks off over some weird thing like the Mitsubishi Starion.
Is it true or myth, The Starion was so called because Orientals have difficulty pronouncing the letter 'L?' (Stallion.)
