  1. Maybe number 2 was the real reason number 1 didn't happen...?
  2. Taking up sport again is a classic empty resolution of mine. I keep on saying i'll go back to rugby but after 2 knee reconstructions and another operation on the way i know there is nae chance that will be happening. I do have a wonderful gut on me just now that needs slimming so maybe a completely new sport is is order. I would gladly take up ice hockey but it looks like (without investigating it) the cost could be prohibitive especially if i might not like it after i try it.
  3. You're dead to me! Dead to me i tells ya! Unless you can actually get MG parts in which case we can be internet friends again.
  4. Do you do stuff for 1978 MG Midgets? It's the 1500 triumph engine and i usually buy from Moss but i wouldn't mind something a bit closer to home.
  5. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1959-51-CADILLAC-SEDAN-DE-VILLE-6-0-/120983114368?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item1c2b27d280
  6. If you're going to have a supra, you might as well go all the way! A friend of mine had the (twin?) turbo automatic supra and he was going through rear tires like nobody's business. Still, he tells me it was worth it for the smile factor.
  7. It's a gorgeous car. What's he done to it to get it looking so good?
  8. Scrap that, i can see it now. I think that might be the one, do you know who owns it?
  9. My work is rather helpfully not allowing me to see that image, is there another way you can post it?
  10. It was a lovely, lovely car and i was a fool to sell it Where do you park your Supra? There's a gorgeous black supra that normally sits just off Dee Street and i think im in love with it. Show us some pics of your supra!
  11. Is that the Shelby 500? Probably one of the sexiest cars ever made. You can get some stonking yank tanks on ebay for cheapish bucks but i think driving a left hand drive on UK roads would be a bit of a hassle. You couldn't go to a macdonalds drive-thru for a start....
  12. Is that the S4? They seem like a pretty decent all-rounder and you'll never go wrong with Audi engineering.
  13. Gutted for you! Did you take the engine out before you scrapped it? I loved my MR2, the driving position made you feel like a total driving boss and the handling was sublime. Would easily have another one but finding a rust-free example is tricky and potentially expensive. I think i'll get rid of the beamer next year and maybe get something ridiculous. Im torn between a Noble M12 and a TVR T350 although i think the Noble might win it on reliability.
  14. I hear what you're saying, Mr Austin but i just can't drag myself away from ridiculously fun cars. Unfortunately im driving a 3 litre Z4 just now which is a bit of a hairdresser's car but otherwise good fun. This is my old RS4. I never should've sold it
  15. Have you got a capri or a series 3? My old man used to have a series 3 and i've got lots of great memories of it. My brother eventually inherited it as his first car and wrote off a mini and a fiesta with it (in two separate occasions, landy unharmed) before destroying the gearbox with his amateurish gear changes. How on earth do you post pictures from you hard drive on this forum??? EDIT: I've worked it out.... EDIT EDIT: No i haven't....
  16. It needed a little bit of TLC when i first got it but the parts only cost £50 and then it needed no more. The engineering is so simple and the engine bay so massive that there wasn't anything you couldn't do. Insurance was cheap, too due to it's low value and wee engine. There are heaps of cheap cars you can get that are great: Toyota MR2 mk1 (the mk2 ones are cheap, too but the turbos cost a bit more) Landrover Series 2, 2a and 3 Renault Clio Williams MG Midget / MGB V8 Even some yank tanks can be cheap. This one isn't so cheap but you know what im getting at: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1978-PONTIAC-TRANS-AM-6-6-V8-AUTO-T-TOP-CLASSIC-STYLE-/330842719522?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item4d07c34522
  17. The Muppets was a terrible movie imho. I thought Lawless was pretty decent and Ed Hardy has generally won the Hollywood race this year with him performances. I saw 7 psychopaths last week and thought i was alright, much better than expected.
  18. This isn't actually my car, rather an image robbed from Google. I don't have any pictures of my beloved Even if i did i wouldn't know how to put them up on here.
  19. Capri's are genuinely awesome cars. People used to wave at me and take pictures when i was stopped at traffic lights. It was a little bit tail happy, mind and i spun it a few times but luckily it was always on roundabouts and i managed to not hit anything. EDIT: Oh god, it's a spinning capri....
  20. A thread for car related stuff, such as estate and van porn. I'll start this off with my beloved Capri 1.6 Laser. One of the most awesome cars i've ever owned and i should never have sold it. I'm definitely going to buy another one in due course. This, Mr Chris is proof that great cars don't have to be expensive; it only cost me £750
  21. I was about to make the same joke but then i thought it was too obvious. Trust you to go for it... On another note, all this taking the bus talk has reminded me how awesome cars are. Is anyone else into cars? Is it worth me starting a thread on the subject or will it constantly be trolled by the bus wankers on this forum? I know someone has a Supra on here but can't remember who.
