For those who havn't been to Haynes


part of "The Red Room"


Me in a Jaguar having chatted to a curator

I would second that like a shot, I love the Red Room there.

The Curse of the M. Pipers struck again Brad (in Joke)

Dont worry gents, I think it is universal, I want as many as I can get, but occasionally common sense strikes

There is never enough room, cash, time etc for all the cars I would like to have a chance to own and drive.

I have just bought a new front wing on e-bay for £65, that is half the problem sorted. The Vitesse has a 10p sized dent, sorry make that a 2p I still cant get used to the size of modern money right on the creaseline.

Sorry Chris, The manual Fastback is my second to last choice, the Vitesse is an Automatic, as are the other two, the Stirling and the Celica, so I need at least one manual to keep my hand in stirring gears :) Carol thinks three 827's is a bit extreme (sorry Brad :) ) so wants me to keep the Celica a...

Yes it has a new guardian now, but Brad has first refusal if circumstances change. It is in great mechanical condition (95+ coming home :) ) but as I want to try and get it as perfect as possible I am now on the look out for a rust and dent free Mk1 Drivers side front wing and Drivers side Front doo...

Hi Pete,

Did the Springs arrive oK

They seem to be a fairly odd size, 18mm is a bit big 17mm too small. I am baffled as to what they are other than b****xed

I am really beginning to think the car wants to stay standard, either that or its sulking because I have bought another one

What a weekend :( Yesterday I had to take Carol (the Mrs) on a 200 mile round trip and by the time we got back she had been carsick and hated the car with a vengeance. I must admit I am in the doghouse as she likes the suspension setup as standard. The ride is hard as a rock and you feel every bump,...

ditto, well

Hi Pete,

I am back in the land of the living and just have to organise getting the springs up to you, I have packaged them and just have to sort a courier out.

Sorry about the delay

Having seen this car in the metal I can honestly say it deserves a true collector owner. Looking into that car it was like looking in a Rover showroom. Truly beautiful condition, truly beautiful car, I would say that it remains in the safest hands that it could and there it should remain until the r...

Congratulations

Hi Gordon, For some reason I thought the car was on the road , but I too would like to see some interior shots of yours. IMHO the combination that Brad has done works really well on the car, the wheels, interior etc really suit the car with that bodykit. Though I may be a bit biased :lol: I know tha...

Forgot to reply to Paul at the same time :oops: Yes we may "bump into each other" I had spotted what town you lived in from seeing you on e-bay and I have thought on several occasions I should make contact and see if I could come round on a spares scavenge/meet and greet :) I am beginning to wonder ...
