General Car Chat / Re: Cortina or All-aggro?

We used to call russet brown rat shite brown

At its best when the interior was the same colour.

Vermillion , from memory, was orange, not brown at all


Could be worse; Chrysler did a bright green Sunbeam GLS with a matching velour interior. The whole car looked like it had been dipped in pond slime. The bright red one was only slightly less garish.


Vermillion ought to be a brilliant deep red, not any kind of brown.

Ulez compliant. Technically, using DVLA,s rules of build date for 40 year exemption, I can contest the taxation group. Built Oct 04, registered Sept 06
I have there phone number and will do so in the new year
All while it is undergoing some "minor" modifications

Nice to meet Keith today for a quick chat

Like wise Henry. Always good to put a face to a name

As for the autojumble, all prices were very high as with Brum council going skint, they had to sell the NEC off to a private equity firm. They are only all about profit so, up with the prices.
I have never seen so many toy and model stalls in the jumble before. 100% increase of them from previous years. £3.50 for a paper cup with tea in it, coffee at £4 a pop for normal stuff. Very expensives day out now

 Is it worth considering a double cab pick up like a Navara or Isuzu?
IMO the Toyota is overpriced, the Mitsi is fragile, Rangers are for "Bully" boys
