My father in law is always ragging me about my Mini and asking when I`m going to get a "proper" car - and then I found a picture of one of his first cars ...  |

So he says he dented the side so wrote "Ooops !" on it and then got a bit carried away ;D Groovy Baby was a radio 1 catchphrase at the time apparently .. You can just make him out sat in the drivers seat  |

Perhaps, now this evidence has turned up, it's time to talk to Mike Myers about a substantial cash settlement.  |

I want that car!! ;D ;D ;D Maybe Mike Myers was inspired by that car, baby! Is that a Hillman Minx, by the way. Rootes cars really are my bag, baby! |

Nice prefect, but it needs bigge/fatter wheels.
Those RS turbo rims just look pants

You're right, the yellow one needs wide, dished chromed wheels, Weller or similar

That's a great pic ;D Wonder what the car behine the Mini van is..it looks pretty big.
I agree about the yellow prefect. Those wheels suck big ones. It definately needs some rims with a bit of dish to them.

That's a great pic ;D Wonder what the car behind the Mini van is..it looks pretty big. Looks like a MkII Zephyr/Zodiac/Consul to me...but I don't suppose we'll ever know! As for the wheel debate...you're not going to get away with any more offset on that! Deep dish wouldn't be my choice! Narrowed axle maybe. I'm intrigued by the BMW engine...is it a six? I think that a BMW 6 would be perfect for a Herald. |
