A little bit of a makeover whilst enjoying it at the same time. I fancied something that I can improve myself without feeling like I am mucking it up.I'd imagine my wish list is similar to Gary's ,but I must confess to making one Wing shiny already,sorry. Must have far too many cars now.. Time to g...

Still undecided about what do to about the exhaust. Get it running and shifting properly, and then we'll see.
You're right though, its all proper 70's stuff :rr:

I think its ok to use your car in winter. Just make sure its properly prepared. Most yanks i've had have little or no heating, leaking interiors, broken fans etc, etc. These are normally the first jobs i attend to. Make sure the underside is fully protected, and above all keep the thing clean, and i...

Its nothing to them though is it. £10-15k on a car for a big special like that. I'm sure there have been just as many fuming members of classic BL clubs after some of the things they've done to them over the years. Having just sold a very similar Mustang to the one on there (see below), i can honest...

Fitted the new roof rail weather strips today. What an epic struggle that was! When i got the car, none of the windows seemed to fit properly, and there were big gaps all over the place. Having the fixed rear rear quarter windows, all the trim had to come out. They needed a fair bit of adjustment to...

Sadly, almost all American branded beer is now brewed over here. The Mexican ones, Corona and Sol are still imported. I think you have to go a long way to beat Polish beer. Zyweic and Zubrowka are both awesome premium beers that'll really **** you up. 5.6% and 6% respectively, but very smooth. Lol (...

No problems on my EE iphone or ipad.


Are you sure spellcheck function is not messing with your username or password before you click "submit"?

Had that a few times. Couldnt log in to something because spellcheck kept changing it as i was typing.

Anyone familiar with the Dukes of Hazzard would no doubt be aware of the pin up status of Daisy Duke (Catherine Bach). However, a a few years down the line she matured a bit (like we all do), and i don't know about you, but she looks utterly stunning here. Not sure where this was taken but i'm guess...

Car's been up on the ramp over the weekend and we got the gearbox out. Gave me a good chance to have a proper poke around underneath. Well, its good news. All original under there with no signs of repairs or welding. No rot to be found anywhere. Trunk floor is all original, all chassis rails are min...

I had two Cherokee's last year, both frighteningly thirsty. I had the six cylinder one first, then the V8. V8 was by far the best (obviously), had much better power and grunt than the six, but with very similar consumption. Luckily they were both LPG converted. Both returned around 15 mpg. Very nice...
