Watch it or me and Mottie will come down and steal your tractors and drink your women...

Apologies, geezers.

 

[Bod ...]

Apologies, geezers.

That's ok. But we know where Devon is and where you keep the ice cream

 

[Mottie]

That car seems perfectly at home in Essex.

Imagining the driver - peroxide blonde, stilettos colour to match car.

Yep. His girlfriend was dressed similar too!

 

[Bod ...]

And that's the way we like our girls..

It was at 45° because it was such a tall engine.

Think it was half a V8 - 1 bank of cylinders. Seem to remember that GM was planning to fit a 'small block' V8 into the FD(?) Victor or did in overseas markets. Certainly saw V8 victor at the 'Pod in the early '70's.

As I remember it, that’s an urban myth.

It's not a thread to show off your flash cars. Unless Mottie it's a classic .

I'll go first..... its not mine

Hitch-hiking in the 60's, I was given a short lift in one of those - an amazingly smooth ride. Later I was tempted to buy one, until I saw the extent of the plumbing under the bonnet and the complexity, so bought a Ford Cortina.

What a little cracker

When I worked in Italy, a couple, the husband of which I worked with, offered to take me out for the day one Sunday to show me around the area, in the back of one of those 500's. Terrible cramped and noisy.

 

[Harry Bloomfield]

Lotus Cortina would be worth a few bob today.

Had a MK1 back in the day, it seemed mental.

The produced the Ventora, which was fitted with an inline 6 cylinder 3L, from I think a Bedford. Extremely torque it was drove like a train.
