Same drivetrain as my old SuperStrada (in de back as opposed to in de front obviously ).

Had a look around a very nice one at a local show and was amazed how nicely engineered and how practical it was.

Full size spare in a cubby behind the driver, removeable panel for engine access behind that. Hard top stows neatly in the front storage area etc.

Since I looked up Caterfields the other day I’ve had a brain itch about buying a rough project and turning it into a t bucket style hot rod.

Another occasion where I’m glad I don’t have the money/space to waste

Like this but a Seven

And then turn up to a caterham trackday

Bizarrely this turned up on twitter!

That's precisely what that ebay link veehickle would look like if it was finished.

Yeah I know.

I did like the first response in that twitter thread that immediately made reference to.....

Similar-ish, I've wondered about a Jago Geep or Rickman Ranger body on one, mostly to get a roof. I've no idea how the wheelbases compare, not a problem you'd have with a bucket

There’s probably some good stuff in here:

MOSTLY NO RESERVE - Former ALLIANZ HQ Guildford, ENTIRE CONTENTS - Catering Equipment, Back Up Generators, Engineering Equipment & Machinery.

We get loads of clients asking if their old stuff is worth anything. Even free it’s just not worth it. Labour just costs too much to make it worthwhile collecting and repurposing 95% of the time.

15+ year old M&E equipment that has a suggested lifespan of 15-20 years, that you have to pay qualified M&E companies to de-gas, crane off roofs and then store until the right job comes along…

Glass partitioning that you have to pay to hump out of the building that’s made for the exact ceiling height so won’t actually fit anywhere else.

Tired old chairs that someone has been wiping snot in for the last 15 years. crappy cheap desks and filing cabinets that may or may not go back together. Only branded stuff like Herman Miller is worth anything.

the catering stuff may find a home.

Overall - i’d be charging them £50k or more to get rid of it all and let the strip out subcontractor piece out the good stuff to sell on ebay.

I nearly put this in the "want" thread but it's not a car so here we are.

My wife has recently started learning to play the organ (she's the talented musical one in the family, already adept on piano, flute, saxophone) and doing some idle googling came across this. It's awesome, it looks like a freaking space ship

My friend Jason can play the organ, we went back to a mates house all blind drunk and suddenly this talent was exposed to the world. It was one of the most surreal times of our lives when our drunk rugby playing friendly randomly started playing Blackpool Beach 1920s jive music

Buy it, that is like a 1900s vision of a future computer.

Dave!
