General Car Chat / The insanity of 'so called classic car' prices.
« on: 03 September 2023, 13:09:51 »
A couple of days ago I stumbled upon an episode of Bangers and Cash. Undemanding viewing.
Anyway, under the hammer goes a 1979 Mini 1275 GT. It sells for £22000 plus auction fees.
For those who don't know, the 1275 GT Mini was the emasculated limp-dick successor to the 1275 Cooper S from the sixties. They detuned the Cooper S by some 15 BHP and then stuck a butt ugly 'Clubman front' on it.
How did this very ordinary little car suddenly become worth £22000?
Insane.

A couple of advisories but this magnificent example of advanced engineering and cutting edge design lives on for another year.
Classic status awaits.

General Car Chat / Removing Vectra/Signum wiper arms

Do I need some sort of puller, because despite plenty of WD40 after removing the nut under the cover they won't shift?

I reckon some of the people are young enough to still have their own hair and teeth.
But OOF is more fun.

General Discussion Area / Farage and Coutts.
« on: 19 July 2023, 12:28:14 »
I'm not the biggest fan of Farage, and even less a fan of the banks in general but......
WTF is Coutts playing at by stating that Nigel Farage does not align with their values.
Since when did banks become the moral guardians of all that is right and good?
