Since that car has a dangerous MOT failure, I think the fine is around £2k, as essentially, the car is not meant to be on the road at all. This. Even driving to a prebooked MOT, you would be driving it with known defects which carries a bit of a whack if stopped. That and it literally says no rear brakes as one of the RFR's, all leads me to saying it's a silly idea to want to drive that that distance.

Wonderful stuff as usual. I still haven't got a truck yet but I treated myself to a TRX4 Defender and also two interesting second hand buggies from a model shop. A losi 22 racer and an old 1989 Kyosho Raider Nice, get some pics up somewhere dude!

Rear exhausts on the XJ6 always bugged me, love the exit location through the valance but then they had to twist about to get to the airflow. More likely they were done so people wouldn’t burn their legs on them getting to the boot, like the Volvo 240 exhaust

Actual year added to title. The decade isn’t quite sufficient.

Nothing that we know of unless HoTWire has been playing again. Clear your browser cache maybe. What OS and browser are you using?

(A very sorry for itself) Fordson wrecker. I think a lot more of it has returned to nature now. That's a shame. It looks quite good in the photo. Makes a chap want to rescue it. Damn good job I don't have space or Mrs Sweetpea would have to be much more understanding of my desires. She's pretty understanding already. Piccie was taken a long time ago. The Fordson has sadly sunk up to it's axle more than once in various locations in the field, requiring quite the operation to move each time. Has lived a full and hard life, last on the road, presumably working in 09 IIRC, cab is full of K Seal bottles. So I suspect it was flogged to death before it's 'forever home' was found...

I concur with the images. It’s not the forum resizing them either. They were just wee to start with.

AEC Regent fire escape? That's got a hell of a bonnet on it. Looks almost American. Like a baby version of a Diamond T. Anyway, if that was a bus chassis they had to move all the steering and gearbox controls back down the chassis. I'm thinking that might not be as hard as it sounds. Just move the steering box back and make a long drag link that points forwards... Anyway, is that a very pretty little Militant photo bombing on the right of the picture? James (A very sorry for itself) Fordson wrecker. I think a lot more of it has returned to nature now.

AEC Regent fire escape? thats a good looking fire truck!!! It had a replacement larger diesel engine as an in service-modification too (we think) as it was used into the 60’s or 70’s, and it has very little silencing. Sounds gorgeous.

Had a friend in the WCRCT send me some steps from his Volvo logger he replaced with nicer ones, as we were talking about adding some detail to the HellHound. Looks much better to my eyes anyway. Following on from that, I thought I could make a brakepipe stand, or pogo stick. Came out well! Further projects have moved forwards in the form of doing a thing with that green truck. HoTWire , HARDCORE , it has begun...
