AS posted earlier Mike i love migs 'cos they're big RWD motors but much easier to live with day to day, cold mornings etc but they're still a proper car.....for me they're the best of both worlds.

No argument here, had miggies, now a second car though, for over 8 years.

.... I've also still got a void bush puller! .....

My problem when the void bushes needed replacing on my MkIII was getting one of the top wishbone bolts out. It'd rusted itself in and was staying put. I ended up sawing it into 3 bits & drilling out the centre bit from the suspension on a radial arm drill. A new bolt in 1980 was something daft like £18  
I could've worked on that car blind fold - it always needed something doing to it.

very nice example,my brother would love this,he has just bought a triumph tr7 with 3.5 litre v8 rover sd1 unit in it,the car has bills for restoration of £17 thousand pounds he bought the car for £3500 and too the engine has had alsorts done ,it's fuel injected,stage 2 land rover heads on it,header pipes and full twin stainless steel exhaust,also it has anti tramp bars on the rear and disc brakes all round,but still does not stop it from going side ways,he's had it tested he sad it is producing 290 - 300 bhp in a car that ways as much as a fly,i'm so gealous,it scars the shit out off me, but boy what a noise from that v8 and you can here him pulling up outside the house wow i want one

I think they made one called a TR8 in ltd no.s but could be corrected on that one. Old cars are never going to be as reliable as newer ones but if something silly "went" you could stick some tin foil in a plug cap or anything equally as silly but it got you home. New cars are off limits to most people fixing wise, will they ever become classics?

Driving? You think in 15 to 20 years the health and safety nazi's will still let us do something as dangerous as drive?!

Facelift Omegas, hopefully. Anything remotely comparable new will either have been banned or cost a couple of grand to tax for a year.

 :)Will we still be allowed to make pancakes or will flour, eggs,milk etc be outlawed?

From what I keep hearing most food seems to be bad for you in one way or another, seems whatever we do is bad for us or the environment.
The 'Ball Game' went ahead in Sedgefield, Co Durham. 900 year old tradition, but it is not 'organised' so I guess that is why it was on.
The future is a worry imho.
