Nice car and I love the badges!
Please play nicely. No one wants to listen/read a keyboard warriors rants....
Sorry Nick, Don’t think they were ever respectable 😁 on the other hand the Morris Marina …….🤣🤣
The woeful Marina was laughably seen as 'the future' when introduced in 1971......despite the antiquated engineering coming straight from the mid 1950's.
For a long time now I've had a hankering for a morris traveller with a V6, Vauxhall or jag as a bit of a runabout, would make an amusing sleeper.
please go for a louvered rear window kit , just so 70s
Agreed.This one is midnight blue with tan leather, I'm going to keep the colour the same but although the seats look in good nick I know of someone local who can refurb them completely, I'm going to keep them the same colour but will have the leather in the "diamond quilted" pattern that can be seen on most Bentleys.Keep them original, Mick.
^This!^
How original though?
Say, for example, you replace points and coil on a sixties classic for electronic ignition. Or modern tyres and brakes.
What Rangie describes sounds like an 'acceptable update' to me.
Just wanted a slight difference to make it more "personalised" to me, everything else exactly to as new condition, even my missus liked driving the Granadas at one point we had two she had a 3.0 GL & I had the 3.0 Ghia, the MK2 I had was only a 2.3LX in gay gold 👍
You go for it, its your car, purchased by you, for you, do to it what you want.
though Mick will have to get the fuzzy dice for hanging on the rear view mirror
I quite enjoy it when a girl takes control.
Yep....but I have also put a few 'naughty girls' across my knee when they become too strident and bossy for their own good.
Looks like yesterday I hit the wrong button on a well known online retailer. I thought I was getting a pair of DJI Mini 2 batteries, but a paddling pool turned up. Upon checking my orders, that's what I clicked.
Bugger.
It's your subconscious rejoicing in the fact that summer is coming - sit down, dangle your feet in the nice cool water, enjoy a beer, try not to break anything, the usual routine
On our most recent cruise, we heard that some old chap had been taken seriously ill so when we saw the Ambulance in port from our balcony we thought it was him being taken away. There was also an old lady sat crying in her wheelchair on the dock so we assumed it was her husband being taken away. We then heard that the old lady was nothing to do with the old chap, and that she’d been thrown off the cruise ship for being violent towards her own family and other passengers.If ever I went on a cruise, knowing my luck, I would be couped up on a floating hotel with people like that.
I contemplated a cruise, but the more I think about it, the more I know its not for me. I mean, I hate hotels with a passion. A hotel you can't really escape from all day, every day, is just a prison
The prat in a newish Land Rover Defender 90 who parked right next to me at Strensham Services on the M5 northbound earlier today, despite the fact I had parked in the middle of acres of empty parking spaces just so that I didn't have to sidle down the gap and perform gymnastic contortions to get in my car!
