Bored? Bored? I'm so bored I could chew my own foot off.

This is terrible.

I've started looking at Wedges thinking that they are very reasonably priced.

Also, why wouldn't I want this?

Would it be a very stupid thing to do? I've always liked these even though very few people seem to.

No Jim, just no.

I've been noticing how cheap V8 M5s are, how I should change my shit heap (I mean the Rover before any funny comments) for something that does about twice the mpg to make up for the TVR etc etc

Anyway, what would you know about being bored? I work in IT for christs sake!!

Edit: that no was to the wedge.... not sure about the Fezza, I reckon the Orange GT3 in the background would be a better bet (remember I posted about seeing one a while ago? Love the car, love the colour..... dam you I'm off to look at Esprits.... back shortly)

Yeah, but wedges are cool. They look sooooooooooo much better than the newer stuff.

One of those SEAC ones. I wanted one when I was younger and the desire has never left me. In yellow please with a big sticker saying My Other Penis Is Tiny.

glol!!!

That's where you and me differ over the TVRs - I like the curvy ones, you like the wedges...

March of the Penguins? Is that that Morgan Freedman thing? I laughed myself sick when I saw the trailer for that. What next Mel Gibson narrating the life of a colony of dung beetles or Uma Thurman providing the voice over for the mating rituals of donkeys?


it seems the film is shown across the world narrated by the 'voice of the nation' - us being american we got big morgan. i wish i could have watched it in french with subtitles.

the music was abit annoying if i'm picky, looking at the imdb i looks like we might have had the dumbed american version of that too, but the film, it's story and it's photography is incredible.

I think that's the one in the background of the Fezza judging by the plate.... mmmmmmmm

There are some other nice ones - the other GT3 in blue on a V reg (but get rid of the big spoiler), and the GT1 replica..... oh and the Sport 350

Time has been very kind to the proper Esprits hasn't it? The interiors look a little clunky but nobody could fault the lines. By comparison the S cars are looking a little older and a little less special.

I fear all this close proximity to TVR owners has loosened Jims tenious hold on his sanity

Meanwhile at the other end of the market there is this gem. Shame it sits on non-standard wheels but that could be easily rectified. Wanky 2nd hand shopping hatch or one of these?

I'm well into that JPS Esprit. Are they really totally unreliable?

Not quite as into Mk2 Cavaliers, actaully that's just me being polite.

MK1 Astra GTE has always been a sweet looking thing IMHO though.

Should have heard the words my wife came out with on my last mk2 cav purchase. AFTER I broke down on the way home. (nothing major - HT lead fell off the coil)

It's my third mk2 in 3 years

number one : 1.8 CDi auto FREE
2 : 1.8 SRi Saloon £40
3: Calibre 2.0i £1375

YES I could have bought a nice car for that !!!

i got so bored i went for a hair cut, also off to the sun in a week or so for the first time in a couple of years so felt the only responsible thing to do was take a couple of sunbed session so my impression of a scotsman in corfu doesn't blind innocent sunbathers.

i was expecting it to be a terrible experience and it was but for the girl on the reception who had beautiful tanned breasts squashed into tight low cut black halter neck top. worth £3.50 of anybody's money.

defo go again next week.
