My eldest son had two Alfasuds (not at the same time) while he was living in Luxemboug, of course he rang me for advice and I told him "Don`t touch them with a bargepole!"....he would be buying work so be prepared to spend money on them on a weekly basis. Of course he took no notice After the Suds he rang me wanting to know if I knew anything about....wait for it.......Integrales, yes, of the Lancia familio! Obviously you can guess what I told him, Italian electricians and stuff and the bargepole hasn`t been made long enough for these buggers. Obviously he bought it, loved it, crashed it, Bought another one which I drove very fast when we went over to visit.......as mad as a balloon but cracking fun to drive!..........puts that very same smile on your face. :)

Subaru`s are quite thin on that list which says it all really.

It was simply a blatant government subsidy to the international (manufacturers) and national (dealers) car industry. How I wish I could be so !Removed! at my business that the government would bail me out with £1,000 per customer..........the other grand was purportedly to be given by the dealer......Right! It should only have applied to vehicles manufactured inside the UK. Short term fix but long term very very costly.....it did wonders for the economy, trouble is its the German, Japanese and especially the Korean, economy and hardly ours. People were encouraged to buy new cars they could little afford. The service industry jobs in cars, repair, spares and servicing were hit quite badly. If everyone with a car 10 yrs or over took advantage of the scheme it would have cost the taxpayer over £14 billion. The car I drive today will be 10 years old next year and is as good if not exceedingly better than anything built in Korea! Just my rant. :) I suppose it got all those !Removed! old Escorts and Capris of the road though. :P

I saw Lynyrd Skynyrd live at Knebworth in about 1977 when the Stones were headlining. I also have them doing Freebird live at the very same gig on a bootleg dvd. It's been said it was their best performance of it.

I have friends who I went to school with or mated around with in my teens or early 20s that could pass for my dad.

241 I think the 3 litre OB s .......that's stock as well. I wonder what the H6 unit is capable of.

I may be 58 but I don't even consider myself middle-aged. We only get one shot at it.....Make the most of it! ☺

Today....I went to the window and plipped the key fob. And she winked back at me.

And.......breathe!

Miggs????.....didn`t we see you in Silence of the Lambs flicking hair-gel into Jodie Fosters face? :P This is me and the missus at our youngest son and his girlfriends graduation last year.They met on holiday 6 years ago and he waited a year so they could be at uni together.....aaaaah!

One of my only pleasures whilst being laid up in hospital wearing my newly acquired scar and compression stockings. I used to play off 17 but had to give it up when I started with arthritis in the hands and wrists. Not swung a bat in 15 years.

What a nice young man you look, obviously we all know looks can be deceptive....as I look almost bald

"Unlucky for some"..............."HOUSE"......................."65"........................"That`s not unlucky for some".........."It was unlucky for you love"

The wife likes the XV dog!...........still only see the one in the flesh and that was in the dealers.

58 here and feeling every year of it at the moment!

Not forgetting matrons bicycle seat

Nice one! Thanx a lot Dave ;)

Burnt out....get away man......Does anyone on here know what we all look like? There should be a thread don`t ya think? And how old we all look, it`s hard to tell someones age just by how they type.

I`m back home believe it or not!...................The surgeon came around today and said everything looks fine and as long as I is careful then sod off back to dodge! Oh.......and I gave a fleeting glance at my OB Early bath and Downton Abbey :) with a glass of Ozzy red then bed.
