Re: Steve Wright
He's looked terrible for years. I wasn't a fan of his but I do recall seeing him at a Radio 1 Roadshow a million years ago and quite enjoying that.

So how much is one of these verses the cost of a person in... China? Vietnam? India? Bradford?

Re: Tedious but traditional New Car thread
Thinking of the @Beany I first encountered in 2005/2006, I'm pleased to see you stepping into THE BIG LEAGUES of TURBOTCHARGED GERMAN CHARRIOTS.
There's also something that pleases me about a car staying within the forum.

Re: Annoying car & driver combo memories
My uncle is a bit of a petrol head and had a white 8v identical to the one posted. It replaced his Mk2 Cav Sri that he had kept for years. It was fast but never handled as well as the cav. I remember when he was pushing it on abit the damping was a bit shit. It was a bit floaty as if the dampers we...

Re: Recommend a car for my FiL
My standard response these days is "Something Korean".
A former GF, affectionately known as Crazy Jen, had her car condemned and needed a replacement. She wanted a Freelander. I suggested a 4x4 Kia. She's very happy with the Kia.

Re: The Movie Thread
Jimmy's films he's finally getting round to watching Breakfast at Tiffany's Breathtakingly good. George Peppard was such a handsome young man and the interplay between him and Hepburn is wonderful. It's dated horribly with everyone smoking and the overt racism of Mr. Yunioshi being played by Mickey...

That's set me off looking at them on eBay :lol: Really loving the spec and consistency of servicing intervals on this one, sounds like a great example. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204605255874?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D777008%26algo%3DPERSONAL.TOPIC%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20230811123856%26meid%3Df3...

EoTR: Jimmy jaunt in Jobbo's jewel of a Jimny
A very generous offer of the use of the Jimny while the 535d's autobox was in bits has come to an end. I'm actually quite gutted to give it back. The Jimny reminds me of the Mk1 MX5. They're similarly mechanical, analogue and engaging. It's charming and fun at a licence friendly speed. I've previous...

Re: Car Plans 2024
The BMW is just back from the specialist. Reconditioned gearbox, torque converter and the diff oil has been changed. The changes are smooth and crisper than before. It will take some time to trust it again but I'm sure I'll forget all about that, stick it in sport and charge across country when I ne...
