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!)

Link worked perfectly here! :lol:
(It's actually a great idea and I wish I'd thought of it. By the way, if there are any of the pups left, preferably a bitch, then I'd love to give a hairy wee beastie a good home).

Medal to be awarded to the seller of the white one.. How the hell can anyone do 71,000 miles without leaving the IoM? :? I was under the impression that the whole place is smaller than Liechtenstein. ;)

Brown one looks lovely, imagine how dashing GHT would look stepping out of that. :thumbs:

Seriously? Well ok, but if it must be a Vanden Plas, I'll go for one of these.

Rich - Mercedes fire engine for me - it's very cheap and would make a great car transporter conversion :thumbs:

Newer of the two Mercedes fire appliances for me please, I could see that making a very good motorhome, unlike the modern truck which only needs stone cladding to complete its attempt to win this year's prize for the most pitmatic van on the campsite! :x

I actually like the Marina-shaped thing too, but the wheels should - IMHO - be sold to someone who's planning to ruin the looks of a TR7 as those big wheels and the tyres' short sidewalls are absolutely guaranteed to make the van's ride quality into something atrocious. A nice set of Cosmic or Dunlop alloys of no more than an inch above stock in diameter would be a suitable alternative.
