Tell Us Something Really Trivial About Your Life (Vol XII)
Discussion
When ar were a lad, a local scrap man had a sleeper. He had an A30 fitted with a Westminster engine - that's 948cc straight 4 out, 2,900cc straight six in.
It was a bit busy in the front. The pilot and co-pilot sat in the back.
You only ever saw late at night, it probably wasn't entirely legal.

I ain't after mental power, but something B road hoonable and easy to maintain
But then it isn't a sleeper. It's just an Escort with a different engine...If you want something mechanically simple and b-road hoonable than get a Westie. If you want a sleeper than by all means go ahead but be prepared to bend over and lube up.

My dad used to know a few people who had Janglias, some better done than others. The lad who killed himself in his due to drum brakes, not being one of the better ones.It was a bit busy in the front. The pilot and co-pilot sat in the back.

Given your recent automotive history Dave I'm almost positive this will be news to you but cars that aren't st cost money
I also call bullst on you not fitting into a Westie - surely you'd fit in a Widebody? You're not effing Godzilla!
This.t cost moneyI also call bulls
t on you not fitting into a Westie - surely you'd fit in a Widebody? You're not effing Godzilla!Lower floor, sensible seats and possibly rear frame mods would see Dave sat in one.
The truth is that Dave likes s
tters, but he's st at bangernomics. A nice car would be boring. No car will be ideal untill he grows up and realises that "B road hoonage" isn't the be all and end all of car ownership.Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
