    Old cars are annoying aren't they. They get under the skin, make you feel a million dollars and then when they breakdown you feel lost and walk around with the face of a rabbit caught in the headlights.

    We've all been there. We all wear the t-shirt :) I'm sure the MGB will be back before you know it.

  4. I used to have a 1972 red mgbgt , I loved it, lovely sounding engine, one of those cars you get excited w hen you sat in it , if you know what I mean :))
    But had to sell it cause the wife couldn't drive it :(
     
  5. I had a 1965 mg midget, British racing green, owned it for over 20 years, it was great car took us all over france a few times in my younger days.
    Sold it a few years ago as I just didn't use it having 2 children.
     
  6. Thanks for all the kind words every one :) (except for Davidoft :p you naughty, naughty man ;D ;D ......no I havent)

     
  7. Scrap it or take a reduced offer from me ... you know it makes sense :)) :))

    PS hope you moved the bus OK ... where's the pictures or have I missed them.

    Now proud owner of new MOT as well ;D ;D
     
  8. Thanks mate ::) ;D ;D

    funnily enough, I had several occasions where people would follow me home and ask to by it.

    There was one last year where a guy followed me for 3 miles until I pulled into the petrol station, he then asked if it was for sale, I said no, he then asked me to name my price as he loved it (yes, it did even have the duct tape along the door bottoms and wings) He kept asking me to name my price

    ..........in hindsight maybee I could have sold it and bought a completly restored one for the price :thinking: ......still dont regrett refusing to sell it, it's like one of the family.

    pics :thinking: .....that reminds me

    no didnt move the bus in the end, its been postponed and will (fingers crossed) happen on saturday now
     
  9. Not sure I'll be around to push on Sat, hope you get it sorted any reason for the delay?
     
  10. no worries mate :)

    I think the delay was with getting the transport sorted,

    looks set to go on Saturday for sure just had a txt from HorTs making sure I will be out of bed as I'm (quote) 'lazy' :p ;D ;D lol.........I cant argue because its true ;D

    on a slightly different note, any one recognise this late bayer ;D......

    turbo diesel and heating is the way for a daily driver. after driving mrs diddys mota you become soft and be unable to drive without heating a winscreen defroster and power steering. you may as well throw your 600 quid at a lovely citroen diesel :)

    ps i may be free sat if you need a push, i have genuinely pushed cars further when i had no money for recovery and no friends to tow me :(
     
  15. Looking at the other pics he had your only about 12ft off the ground there :p ;D ;D

    I used to do a little rock climbing and a bit on climbing walls etc. Only stuff I climb now is cranes, masts and towers .....much easier lots of nice hand holds and bomb proof anchour points :D :D

     
  16.

    I suppose it's different to Pirate Pete which I get at work all the time (must remember not to take the parrott to work)

    However, I'm not going to get into the banter with name changes lest it be seen by a mod with mischievious intentions :p ;D

    ......we all know what happened to Ricky :lol:

    Not sure on time, HorTs said early
