Vintage Voltage - Quest now

It’s great. There’s a campsite out the back (not theirs) Stayed last year. Spent a few hours mooching about. The main man took a pound off me for the pleasure. Two good pubs, a chocolate shop and a excellent chippy. What more could you want.

 

Been watching Chasing Classic Cars lately . Not too bad .

Salvage hunters, classic cars is good

 

Wayne Kerrini... I bet he wasn’t ever bullied at school!

 

It doesn't seem to be in the lexicon, there is a US manufacturer of electrical test equipment called Wayne Kerr and in case you don't believe me http://www.waynekerrtest.com/products_detail.php?indexs=7&brand=Wayne Kerr

 

That took me a while but I got there in the end

 

Do I press that link or not.... it seems like a trap!!

 

No Wayne Kerr is real no jest, apart from the interesting choice of company name (if you live on east side of the pond).

 

Just watched the Mg Midget conversion and rebuild. £40k budget and they didn’t bother their asses to rechrome the rear view mirror bracket!

 

none of these type of programmes show you anything, they tell a life story of a person involved, but actual hands on spannering ! nothing. Ive given up watching them now . also , whilst were at it , if anyone thinks the BBC is bad value for money , take a look on Freeview, theres nothing but adverts on with bits of programmes interupting them

 

Am i the only one that thinks he needs a slap , 40 grand for gods sake , he is in to make a quick buck then get out the game when such as knowledgeable people on here know how to do it all for reasonable self build costs .

 

Twas a chap in the year above me at school, his mum and dad Mr & Mrs King thought it would be ace to name their son Wayne. I kid you not.

 

Had a lecturer at college called Wayne Kerr, he used his middle name Tom for some reason

 

Looks like a new series has started that includes a Splity conversion is starting tonight. Not sure when it's going to be the campers turn.

 

I heard next week they'll be putting a Chevy V8 in a Sinclair C5.

 

Yea Greta has ordered it.....

 

£45k into a late model beetle before the guy tries to sell it on… bonkers!! I doubt they’re saying on the TV what the business to business rate is, but still!

Been watching this for a few days :

Should give an indication of how an electric bug could sell!

 

It’s still an annoying show but I still watch it. Doesn’t seem to make business sense, more for very rich people who want a toy

 

that’s because they don’t do much

Buy a motor
Get someone to make adapter plate and fit motor
Buy some batteries
Make some battery boxes
Wire it up and plug a laptop in

talk about it’s the best thing since sliced bread

What worries me is the extra weight and torque and the effects it has on the running gear.
