Hey Adey if all you want to do is contribute to Mr Shell and Esso profits I could have sold you my V8 guzzle bucket. This is a MG with the Rover V8. Rover bought the production rights from Buick may years a go when they thought it was dead. Any case if you still have some cash and need a third V8! Come and see me.
OK some body is going to have to let me very slowley and in English how to list a picture on a forum!

Hi Ray, Quote:

I think the big thing is to remember when your filling it to turn off the engine, or else you would never get out of the petrol station. It must be the only car in the UK its cheaper to get towed home by the AA than drive it.
Still I have to hand it to Adey. Now that you have to pay to scrap cars in the UK, If you have a serious American Car fettish, this has to be the best time ever to get it out of your system. A car like that in the UK must be worth all of 250 quid - thats the owner pays you 250 to tow it away - right?

Adey I have never laughed so hard in my life, as I have this morning reading this thread. I needed this. Thanks and have you ever heard of "unrep" underway replenishment. You can do that from a fuel truck. Dave

No not nitrous or a new motor, just something to make the most of those SEVEN.5 litres. I mean think about how many horses an 8 litre Viper can make? Some new pipes and carbs and you'll be all set

They had better get out of the way or be crushed! Went through a 12" diameter telephone pole in a Buick Electra 225. Dented the bumper and dinged the hood a little. Talk about a tank!

Must say Adey, that is a good looking car. But when are you going to wash and polish it, wax on wax off old boy. Shes looking a bit grubby.

You've obviously forgotten what it's like to drive over here!
Washed it a couple of days ago and spent 1½hrs polishing it 
Took about ½ a day to get all sh!tty again 
Anyway, I like ratty motors!
New wheels due very soon which will transform it, then save the £££ to get the bodywork looking good and a re-spray - keeping the black of course

Oh of course, should have known, summer is over already there isnt it. Its cooling down nicely here, only hitting the low to mid 90's each day.
Adey, is the tv and radio awash with transfer talk today. Ive been refreshing the BBC Football page every couple of mintues to see if Cole is leaving Arsenal and to see if we are getting Gallas and Baptista. Oh what a nail bitting day today is.

You need to get out more mate!!!
Couldn't tell you ... I don't watch tv anymore.
A couple of weeks ago, I decided to have a night off working and treat myself to some couch therapy!
I watched about 20 minutes but it was all sh!te so I switched off and came up to the office to carry on working.

How do you like sitting on the curb side when driving. Must make negotiating some of those english country lanes interesting.
