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!)

I still aspire to the level of grumpiness demonstrated by GHT though, he has great grumping skills
If he keeps this up I am going to have to retire from full time general grumpiness and I have a qualification in it - I was doing ok till he kicked off :roll:

Lack of vision? This might sound a tad sycophantic but when I see you and your missus all togged up at The Revival, I just know that you are an elegant gent, with a charming, sophisticated lady on your arm. How you could wax lyrical about a Land Crab is beyond me. I mean it's almost as bad as saying PHOAR, about this car. One of BL's finest piece of useless shite.

Rich, please, please, tell me that you wouldn't be seen in a car that colour. It looks like it belongs to a page three girl. That one with the big knockers.

How very dare you. I run an entire forum dedicated to the delightful beast that is the Landcrab. Well, I suppose somebody has to do it.

My father's favourite car, the Montego Countryman. The old boy's 90 now and rather "knows his mind". Done in by living 400 yards from the Atlantic Ocean in Cornwall - rear sills and arches went and I live 360 miles away. Which was a good excuse for me not to weld it all back together again.......

Alright, alright, you have all got impeccable tastes in car design, he says with his fingers crossed behind his back. So whose going to stick their neck out and say that this car is drop dead gorgeous.
First pic is the car, second pic is the design inspiration, no it's not, this new site takes some getting used to.
