A few years back my brother went about 3 months over on his without realising and me and a mate had a good laugh in the pub about how stupid he'd been, then less the a month later my mate realised that he'd done the same thing again causing much laughter on a Friday night which got me thinking so th...

(Attempted!) Fuel Theft

I parked the mighty Sterling up down by the river front the other day as there wasn't any room outside my house (full of my other cars!) and left it there for a couple of days. Reedham is a small village in the middle of the Norfolk Broads so we don't get much (if any) crime so I was a little shocke...

Just got back from a trip to the south of France where thankfully LPG is still fairly cheap @62.5 per litre......I say luckily because I was driving a 4.4l V8!

Good for you. Nice car. I do think the car looks well in Atlantic blue. Looked after properly your car should give many miles of enjoyment. You also have an RV8. Very nice too. Sadly not any more, had it for a year but it spent more time in the garage during that time then outside my house so it ha...

Great story and nice looking car, would be very hard to part with now I bet. I think that the only way I'll be parted from it now is if something bad happens to one of us! I suspect that at some point it will start to become expensive but I'll still keep it on the road. I've had 2 people come up to...

Your car, which is amongst the last of the Mark 1 cars to be sold, is the same as one in my collection. Coincidentally, I bought that one from Norwich. Here it is: http://i414.photobucket.com/albums/pp223/verytallbrad/tv001.jpg And it also has a sticker for continental travel in the same place as y...

I'd have to be quite fussy with the coupe so I would be after a dark coloured 827 with the auto box and cream or grey leather interior. Would have to be in amazing condition as I am very fussy about everything working on my cars and them looking good. At the moment I also have a BMW 540i Touring so ...

The smoke had cleared by the time I made it to the MOT station, but I did take the long route to get there. The brakes were not too bad once they had a bit of use however when we got back to Norfolk I treated her to new discs and pads and a full set of new tyres as the old ones were far from round!
