Me and my son , John .

this is the one you were looking for I guess…

Thanks Niels , I’m building the Bilek Il-28 and was going to do it in the Czech colours , if I can find enough photos of this baby I will change my mind – thanks

Always fancied a Mk3 3.0S in silver so I could drive around pretending to be Bodie from The Proffesionals ( Sad arn’t I 😀 ).

AAAGGGHHHHH , My mate had a really nice silver MK3 3. with a black vinyl roof , automatic gearbox etc , never seen John for years – bumped into him recently and I mentioned some of his cars ( he was a mechanic ) and I had missed the car by 3 days – after all these years I missed the darn thing by 3 days after the scrappy leveled the whole lot . Capri , a two door mk5 Cortina with a 2.3 lit engine , a coupe Granada – the whole lot of them. 🙁

Hughes XF-11 Daz.

😎

Looks like a serious tool !! , did Hughes just build that as a personal project or was he under a military contract
, I see the DVD pirates are selling copies already , filn isn’t even in the cinemas and they are ripping it off already .

Daz – checkout Ingliston at the weekend , the same pikeys from Bathgate market will be out at Ingliston – they even had it playing it on a huge plasma monitor. Be nice to see them getting lifted by the police last week , the police were too busy shoving pikeys into the van to notice the shoppers looting the stalls .By the time they did get back to the stalls there was a fraction of the stalk left behind 🙂

You cant beat a Mk1 Lotus Ford Cortina – beautiful from every angle.

I agree , with the Lotus Sunbeam a close second , and the Ford RS3100 Capri bringing up the rear !!!!

A colleague of mine has a Chimaera, he’s just spent £5,000 having the engine rebuilt.

Believe me , thats a cheap job !! , one of my friends older TVRs blew the motor twice , both times it was a rod through the side of the block , obviously unrebuildable and he had to shell out hard cash for two brand new engines , superb cars to drive – they go very well , but they do need constant attention to avoid mechanical mayhem , and even if you do keep on top of it maintenancewise – they can still give you a nasty surprise .

TVR’s !!! Great cars for the money, pity you loose what ever you saved over the other types in running repairs to keep them going.

VERY true Ian , the one I posted earlier is a very low mileage car – mainly as it is never out of the garage – 3 clutches in less than 7000 miles , but definately the meanest sounding car around !!! ( except the noise it made when a conrod tried to escape by jumping through the side of the block )

It’s no good Melv. Even with an upside-down Strat™ you STILL don’t look like Hendrix.

Melvin hiscock with an upside down strap on – is this a bit of the Kama Sutra I missed ???? 🙂
