For The Love of Cars

We used to drag bikes about in one that had a 3liter V6 in it

[Fishtigua]

There's a white V6 that lives near me. Got a couple of photos with the wooden sides.

Will post when back to work on old lappie.

No profit in this for sure, just to keep it on the road!

It was the only bit which wasn't rusty! ('Wella' btw)

'It's a workhorse you know'
'It rusts'

Yeah, we got that....

A good blaster will not touch the large area panels like the roof (or in this case the sides) as the heat generated will warp the metal like mad - they will go round the edges

Work horses don't rust, they sweat.

I wonder if Ford paid for the work. It's a great Transit ad.

[Laurel Green]

It's not often one gets to eat the cargo.

[Adrian W]

If you pulled the V4 out and stuck in a V6 you had to use the diesel front, everyone into racing was doing it.

[Adrian W]

And as if by magic

[Adrian W]

So while he was test driving it the Ford badges appeared

Must have been keeping a low profile this week.

Since when did the Alvis Saladin armoured car have a 37mm gun?


It bloody didn't, it had the short rifled 76mm gun capable of firing HESH. The same gun as fitted to the Scorpion tank.

Who said you can't buy panels for them?

Think this series is starting to run out of steam now, utility vehicles not so interesting for me, but have enjoyed the other programmes.

[chris watton]

I didn't even watch last night's - Recorded it, but having zero interest in commercial vans, I deleted without even watching it.

Is a van a car?

You'd think so, the number of times Ant kept calling it a car.

Interesting method of pulling out of junctions in that Saladin due to the limited visibility. Still, I guess being hit in the side by a Transit probably wouldn't have done much damage.

Better than expected but it's slowly turning into Car SOS.
