 Re: The O/T thread! They installed one of those indicators of you speed at that town. There was a bit of a ceremony for its installation. Some wag at the factory thought it was a great idea [so do I] to have the works "fuck you" displayed each time someone approached it over the 50km speed limit. It has since been modified.

I like that. It'd certainly be my message to anyone going up our road (30mph limit, residential area, blind crest 200 yards up the hill from our house, nearby school etc. etc.) faster than 30. And there are plenty of them. Dicks.

Re: The O/T thread! Yes but the drivers door isn't the original one. So its not 100% original really in bodywork terms.

Re: The O/T thread! I think it dropped a valve. Who didn't check their collets then?

Re: The O/T thread! I'm just gonna put this here if anyone is interested, not sure where else to put it. http://www.hartlepoolmail.co.uk/news/local/classic-cars-roll-into-town-1-4463401Classic car meeting/show thing in the car park of Hartlepool Histroic Quay. The article makes it sound like it's only been around for a year but the event itself i've been going to for a while. Always a decent turn out of plenty of different sorts of cars, never seen any A Series there though.  Fairly decent way to spend a few hours if anyone is in the area. Also, I never see any A series up in this area, hint hint.  It's 10-4 this Sunday, turnout always depends on weather. Every time I've been it's been sunny but if the weather stays like this, I can't see much of a turnout.
