I see a Scimitar SS1 has sneaked in amongst the Triumphs ;D And I wish I could come across a nice Triumph 1300 for just £325, I've always wanted one of these: |

And I wish I could come across a nice Triumph 1300 for just £325 Just go to the next Triumph show armed with your £325 cash and find the right car. Then show the owner your wad, hold your head up high and say, in a clear manly voice, "Can I come across your car for £325 please?" If you're lucky they might let you kiss it first, maybe take it to see a film and have dinner? Either way they'll probably expect you to clean up afterwards.  |

Love the retro sales stand. helps that not a lot of those phographed are obviously modern styled too Stag looks good on thems rimz, nice Spits too. |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |
