^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I would have loved to have owned one of those Big Mammas!!

Another balistic sofa on wheels! Though I think the emphasis would have been on the sofa!!

Had an MGB GT many years ago, the gear change on them was sublime, that's the electric switch I was refering to, but those old rovers were a pipe dream

As we still have a 4 wheel thing going here I should let you know that "She who must be obeyed" is a bit of a petrol head as well. When she first started work she saved for a car,had her heart set on a MGA soft top n hard top but dad (mechanic n dutchman)says no way am I going to work on an old piece of sh:t like that the result being she ended up with a HA Viva (for you guys not familiar with this model google it and cringe) .Many years (about 30) the oppurtunity arose to purchase a 71 V12 EType Jaguar so now I have the pleasure of working on not only motorcycles but also an incredibly complicated example of British Engineering Design.I must also admit that I also have a 1963 Mk2 Jaguar as my 4 wheel toy

Yeah, he pisses me off every time I visit too. Last time I was there the dust cover didn't even come off the E Type, I'm assuming he still has it and it is not just a cleverly constructed pile of Lego with a dust cover over it.

PS : Did a bit of research on the P5B's today (love those things). Considering that there only about 20K of them ever made it's amazing that we all once had a great aunt that owned one. How does that work?

Don't do it guys, it's a bit like seeing the fat chick that lives next door getting undressed.

Once you've seen it you can't unsee it.
