« on: Today at 18:11:29 »Passed bike test in 1962, 3 attempts....

still a novice then
I passed my car test 2nd Aug 1979 & my bike test Nov 1980
. Car was in 1966, first time thanks to my late Dad. Drove a Reliant on my bike licence and the gearbox was similarto his HA Viva so just a few drive arounds needed.

Does the old adage 'you get what you pay for' still hold true these days?

« on: 04 May 2024, 18:44:34 »I had the same boot spoiler. It was ok until water got into the cracks in the foam and expanded when it froze in winter.If my memory of my brother-in-laws three MK2 2.8 Granada Ghia X’s is correct (he had two X’s and one X Executive), the standard Ghia X had flat leather (or cloth) and the X Executive had puffed up leather. The Executive seat looked like it had an additional topper and looked like someone had bolted a three piece suite in to the car and I always thought that it looked a bit overdone.
Each to their own though.
This clip shows what I mean regarding the original Executive Connelly Leather seats. Oh, and his zorst could do with being a big bigger as well.Turn the sound down as the reviewer gets on your tit.
