...Maybe it'll work this time....
Avant,
Well done.
Thee, like me, has now learned how to use a photo sharing site.
Someone said we'd done the 'pic of my car' thing before.
Probably have, but more than 100 replies and 6,000-odd views suggests it's gone down well in the 'room.
Thanks to everyone who took part.
|
>>Someone said we'd done the 'pic of my car' thing before.
Yes, but we only got 80 replies that time!
And what's worse, I didn't oblige.
And what's worse than that, nor did any of the other Berlingo/Partner drivers. :-(

Four-and-a-bit years ago.
I get the impression there's more folk hanging around the Back Room now.
Still no pics from the mods, though.

Oh, ok then. Here's one I previously posted when it was still sat on the dealers forecourt.

I'll put a more recent and better image up later, along with some of my previous cars as well.

Taken last year in the lakes - just to emphasise how large an X6 really was. Now got rid of the Skoda - no photo of the CRV

Come on PU, now its gone, you can finaly own up and admit that Roomster is one ugly SoB
|
a good looking car, the leon.

ref four old cars
Mate in USA thinks they are :-
56 Ford Fairlane, I think a 1970 Avanti (by studebaker) and it may have been called an Avanti II, still an Avanti though. Last is a 50 Chevy Deluxe and older one is I think 40's Olds.
|
Wow...you guys and gals have some, great, well presented cars. A credit to you all.
Gonna have to let the side down now with my old, everyday, unwashed but well loved Suzi.
Sat here in the rain and not been out since Friday.

Oh well...it tows the van, can carry loads of bricks and rubble, can carry a 10ft length of timber or a fridge and can climb the side of a house...although I prefer ladders now !

Ted,
Seen plenty worse, it's obviously got a bit of shine to it.
Wheels let it down, though. :)
Old trade saying: 'windows and wheels'.
If they both look well, the rest of the car will, too.
|
>Wheels let it down though. :)
>Meaning to clean them...looked better before the tyre fitter got his hands on them last week and messed up the dirt......it was quite uniform before !
Will clean them if it ever stops raining...still, at least the rain gives it a shine ! :-)

Thanks, dxp55.
>>older one is I think 40's Olds.
Yes, it is a 1940 Oldsmobile.
>>I think a 1970 Avanti
I'm impressed that he can tell the year of the Avanti!
>>56 Ford Fairlane.
And here was me thinking it was 1955.

For you older Citroën fetishists:

I shall pass on your thanks -- what he doesn't know about US cars you could list on a postage stamp. :-)

And quite heart warming to see so many British built cars - especially with youth unemployment THE HIGHEST in Europe.

My first - second and third modes of transport

The Mk 111 is the Executive with single reclining front seats - whole car had Connelly hide leather and wilton carpets - and Auto of course.
Mazda belongs to SWMBO
Tyro
Missed this bit
The Avanti will have a 327, not to be confused with the Chevy 327. Ford will likely have a 312 in it though it's not the only motor available, the ole Chev will have a 216 six, though the 235 was already out in 50 and available. It may also be called a Styleline.

Wow! ... *Real* cars :)

I believe that the highest youth unemployment in the EU at the moment is in Spain.
By odd coincidence, both my cars were built in Spain.

Perro,
The article you cite says "Britain has more out of work youngsters that any other country in the European Union. Spain, in second place, has a smaller population than the United Kingdom".
That is, there are more unemployed youth in Britain than in Spain. The percentage of youth who are unemployed in Spain is, however, higher than in Britain.
The British youth unemployment rate in October was 19.8%.
see tinyurl.com/yfv5w4s
The Spanish youth unemployment rate for September (the most recent month I have seen statistics for) was 40.2% and rising
see tinyurl.com/yhujxpw
So we are both right - just depends what one means by "highest unemployment".
:-)

Affirmative comrade tyro, having so many young-bloods unemployed Europe-wide doesn't bode well for future peace countywide or countrywide.

Quite perro... now what was it they used to do to cull the young... Ah yes, send them abroad to teach the rest of the world a lesson about something or other.
Doesn't work these days though. For some unaccountable reason people now object to being killed and maimed. And they've got lawyers too. Some of them even go as far as suing the army for compensation!
A good thing you may think. But what will happen if (God forbid) a real enemy appears? Won't be so good then.

Well mon ami, The Good? Book says "There is nothing new under the Sun" whereas we would say History repeats itself - keep watching the skies ( and the streets!)

What choice do we have? The list of briitish made cars is not huge. Anyway. Car factories dont employ youth.

That looks a nice and clean CX OldSock... is that a current picture?
|
|
Going to split this shortly into a permanent volumized thread so that pictures can be posted for posterity.
|
Might be an idea to widen it slightly to something like: 'Your car and other motoring pictures', otherwise I suspect the thread will run out of steam fairly quickly.

Thanks, M.M - the pic was taken this September.
Sadly, there are a few rusty bits underneath which will probably be uneconomical to repair :-(
|
|
It's hard to justify a lot of expense vs value... but what else could you get that interesting under £2K?
|
Here we go, finally. The Escort Ghia X about which I've been waxing lyrical for the last 18 months or so. Crack in offside of front bumper, rusty nearside foglight and all:
bit.ly/4NkOIY
I did have a dozen good pics of it, ready to go up on eBay, but I've lost them. First £500 secures ;-)

I like the way that you have disguised the number plate and house number - very appropriate for this site! :-)

My very first car - me posing in the passenger seat!
VO9499. Bought for 49 quid, sold after 1 year for 25 of the same, having spent 7/6d on it!
I'm now 73, but this was taken around 1960 ish when I had more hair!
Can you tell me what it is? (I DO know!)

Roger, you've got me stumped. Its a bit before my time.
Not a lot of clues there. I was thinking the badge shape is a little reminiscent of the Humber and the radiator shape could be an old Rover.
Go on - Give us a clue .....
|
Its a Ford Tudor, about 1933 vintage
|
|
Shouldn't this be in the Renault Zoe thread ? :-)

Do you realise that Honest John will have a fit if he sees is face on a Ford Escort :D

Hopefully I have done this photobucket thing right. This should be a link to the current bobbyg and Mrs bobbyg cars
