That’s enough about your love rod, what about C’s carb?

Ideally wants sonic cleaning as it's been stored out of a box for a few years and he hasn't given me a job card yet

Oishi V3.0 (my grandson) began soccer practice today;




Like his grandfather he is a cheeky chap and has fully embraced the footballer lifestyle. He has taken to terrorizing the locals in his Italian
sportscar;


For all the ladies thinking "This is the man for me", you may have to wait a bit, he's just 2 1/2.

Does he like older women?

I'll print the pic and ask him. His coach is an Aussie so he'll love the accent.

Didn’t know the story behind this familiar picture, but an article in Viva Lancia has enlightened me. On 29 April 1899, Camille Jenatzy became the first person to break the 100kph barrier. He designed the car himself and named it La Jamais Contente. It had two 25kW electric motors fed by batteries delivering 200 volts and 124amps.

He also went on to win the 1903 Gordon Bennett Trophy in a Mercedes, netting winnings from his sponsors totalling $50,000 (equivalent of $2.3m today).

Wow that's an amazing story.

Yes same owner has 2 037s, a road car and a rally version. He also has a Stratos, a works Integrale, a Italian clubman Delta HF, a T16, and a Quattro which is a works car but although rally spec it was mainly used as a promotional car in Germany. Not bad fro a bloke that sells camper vans

 

[philw696]

Have you seen how much Camper Vans are ?
More than I paid for my house in France

Trust me Andy i don't look at them but have a few friends who have gone that route and they like to tell you how much they cost to clog up the roads.

Our friends in NZ sold their house in Wanaka and bought a motorhome 2 years ago. They’ve just swapped it for a huge caravan. Can’t imagine living in one all that time.

what a great idea and i was going to go tomorrow until my eldest asked if i could go and check an Audi Q3 she wants to buy and put a deposit on, so i have a at least a 3 hour round trip tomorrow

I am at the online auction. Only an hour down the road if I happen to win
