Bloody hell Iva, it certainly makes you think doesn't it chap? In 1983, I recall being offered a 1978 BMW 635 for £2900.

My reaction? 'Bit rich ain't it? I'd have to sell my '76 XJ 4.2 Coupe and put £500 into it. No thanks...'

FFS !!!

Makes the £75 I spent on a mini look expensive. Mind you it was a Riley Elf so had a bit of walnut and a decent boot.

I had a decent boot in 1982. Mind, I suppose I deserved it - his wife was the spitting image of the Irish lass from Bananarama. Couldn't resist at the time.

Jaguar's V12 4wd supercar - will it ever happen?

My brand new Lancia is already rusting!

Unleaded fuel - the death of performance motoring?

30p fuel - outrageous!

How long can Land Rover keep its ageing Series 3 alive?

Alfa Romeo Arna - Italian Style, Japanese quality....Oh wait

Yes, your wallet should be Very afraid. Are you aware that something simple like a replacement radiator can cost around £85 ??? If you have money to burn, my friend...

Here's a true anecdote from the 80s.

I worked at a SAAB dealer then and the used car bloke that got all the stuff we didn't want to sell had a BMW 3.0 CSi,a CSL lookalike,offered to me and my mate for £300,with seized engine.
We declined but my mate bought his crusty Landis Beta coupe 1600.

The wings were held on by luck more than weld.

The follow-up threads; 'is araldite and matchsticks an acceptable way of curing coolant weeps from the block?' and 'the GF sat on the wing and put a bum-shaped dent in the alloy; FML'.

ION, the Sofitel at Heathrow is a)fking massive and b) ridiculously plush. Its even got a sort of zen garden running through the middle of it!
Also, are there any PH ladies currently in Heathrow T5? A mid 30s brunette lady eating in Carluccios just stared at me like she knows me from somewhere but can't place me.

I'm in Heathrow T5 looking for Jocksey McFarties stag do does anyone know where it is? We're all wearing brunette wigs but I can't find the others. There's this old Perv who keeps staring at me he's reading Razzle and dribbling so I thought I'd better report him here he's bound to be a PHer

Women's hockey chap? Sounds disgusting. The type of thing they would have been expelled from Middle School for.

They need to clear their throats. Maybe try sucking a Fisherman's Friend, see if that helps...
