Cheap cool old smokers!
« on: 07 May 2014, 18:42:00 »

I was perusing about for a cheap smoker and was surprised at what ridiculous bargain smokers can be found, I was literally a hairs breadth from picking up the Saab until a new pressure solenoid sorted the gearbox on the mig. Always liked the 9000 too

Nice Saab 9000 turbo

Or a ratty supercharged Jaaaaaaag

The V12 XJ40 I had was .. well it was more like steering a ship than pointing a car ;D

(This will come as no surprise to anyone who saw how rusty it was when we stripped it, though! Surprised we weren't doing Flintstones impressions in it..)

6.0, of course! ;) T'was a 1994 car so got the later DIS based ignition, 318hp, 6.0 HE engine.. Felt quicker than the Omega in a straight line and the gearbox (4L80E, I think?) was like silky butter compared to the Omegas.

Rest of the car was rotten as a pear, of course! Although amazingly the electrics worked, apart from the brake lights whenever it rained.. ;D
