Cor blarst bor thats clean (shame I couldn't make it to the last meeting, it would have been interesting to park the Ital next to it for a comparison)! (For those not in the know, the Pony was developed from two Morris Marinas that George Turnbull had from British Leyland when he got 'retiredancy', courtesy of Lord Stokes, and buggered off to Korea with them. After using the Coupe shape with the saloon four-doors, Ital desgin nailed the rest together and the rest is history.... Hyundai are still about and we no longer have a indiginous motor industry as such... )

Should be June 3rd. Guys? As a thought, seeing as we're heading rapidly towards the middle of 2009, could it be an idea to swing this thread into a 2009 one instead of 2008? ?

My first ride was 1982........ a 1966 Vauxhall Viva HA 80SL Deluxe.... still don't know what the deluxe was for, a heater maybe? Handled curse word, rusted like billy-o and permed three out of four cylinders to run on when it felt like it, but sold it for what I bought it for after ten months of merciless ragging... ;D

Looks like the front crossmember is still OK, which is the most important bit, everything above is squashed out of tinplate and reasonably easily repairable. Still a beggar, though (polite version...); any venison burgers available yet?

Late A-series seats will go in, as me and the boy have just retrieved a R100 1.1 from certain death and the Metro GTa seats bolted straight in, no problems. Once I've had a butchers at the floor I'll decide whether to keep or bin it.... Keep it and revive it! www.metropower.org.uk/forum - that will have all the information you will ever need about metro's and R100's as well as give you some inspiration about what to do with yours! Oh, I suspect it'll end up as another thread on here.... like the A-series Gta we have lurking in the back garden waiting radius arms and ball joints..... ;D

Go deep! Go deep! Tell me more. BTW how did you get away with driving a PG9'd car? Was it a delayed PG9? Yes, I had until 1600hrs to get it off the road but must drive with the windows down. Acting gormless does help at times..... ;D Anyhoo, if you have windows with AS2 on them forward of the B post, they are not tintable at all. Period.

I had an interesting chat with a VOSA inspector today... to backtrack a bit, I got pulled for tinted front windows in the Ital, so slapped wristies, £30 fine and a Prohibition Notice (which I drove home on...) and then I had to book a VOSA inspection. Anyhow, VOSA Inspectors (three of 'em, bless 'em!) arrived this morning, and while one did the "Oh yes, the tints have gone, let me print out the cancellation form", the other stood and had a chat with me about the Ital, the Banham remains and life in general. He was very p*ss*d off that the job had degraded into chasing up, as he put it, "bloody stupid things when we've got more important things to do...". I mentioned that I'd had the tints on for about eight months and hadn't been pulled, even passing through a Police/VOSA checkpoint in Yarmouth at night; he showed no surprise and stated the Police are getting more inconsistant with their stops, but are unwilling to do anything about what is a serious problem which is luxury 4x4's being fitted with illegal tints from the dealerships, which once again they get sidetracked into dealing with. Anyhow, things are now fully legal, and the inspectors wandered off to go and see if they could deal with any real issues. There was more, but I won't go that deep.

I thought it looked like that audi that gets clobbered in that car insurance ad (and makes me mad every time I see it) If you mean the LV ad, it's an Austin Victoria.... deffo an Opel Rekord...

It's a 1700 HL, so it'll have the altered front struts and anti-roll bars front and rear. Slammed on wide alloys.... NICE!

My helmet came off Fleabay for £25 and has seen use all over the show, when we did RAF Marham, Marinanut Jr had an 'Aldi Special' and we bought the bike intercom for £6.... pretty cool chatting away at 100mph down the main runway.....

It's called 'grabbing at straws', the only thing this Government is good at. I think they've got slightly more important things to worry about than this, like stopping the country going bust for a start.....
