Way too muscle bound. She could crack walnuts between those bum cheeks. In Hong Kong many years ago I watched a lady performer in one of Kong's seedier clubs bend over and fire ping-pong balls out of her rectum at the audience. There was a load of American navy lads in port who were catching...

Did you know that Harry H. Corbett of Steptoe and Son fame was a Royal Marine in World War Two. After service in Europe in was posted to New Guinea where he fought Japanese and was involved in quelling civilian unrest. When he was further posted to Tonga he deserted and was picked up by the...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innocenti_Mini#:~:text=The%20Innocenti%20Mini%20is%20an,was%20never%20put%20into%20production. Mind you the Innocenti factory in Italy produced a better quality Mini than Longbridge could.

In the 70's and the early 80's Fiat and Lancia had a deal with the Soviet Union to buy shiploads of scrap metal from them. Italian steelworks then processed the scrap into body panels. That's why Fiats and Lancias particularly were notorious for being rot-boxes (and that came from an Italian...

The headteacher of my grammar school always drove Saabs. They were considered a luxury car back in the 70's. Beautifully made and very reliable. They didn't go rusty because as also with Volvos, Sweden has large reserves of iron ore and produces high grade steel. A lot of cars until twenty years...

I had a K reg 214. Probably the worst car I have ever owned. The difference between the car in the newspaper article and my 214 is that the former's engine was built by a highly trained and skilled Japanese workforce to Japanese production standards. The 214 engine was built by a drooling...

Next big rainstorm, wait till it's dark, wind down all the windows, switch off the lights, heater and wipers and go for a drive. Stop at every traffic lights and throw a twenty quid note out of the window. It's not exactly the same, but it's really close to the 'owning a Leyland car' experience...

Talking of damp HT electrics I well remember putting condoms on the distributor cap of a Renault 5 to keep it dry.

Good link Gasguru....I listened to it the other day.

I loved the Datsun 140J I learned to drive in (my instructors car Mr. Lambert god rest him). Way out of my price range back then and even when it became the Sunny, second hand models kept their value. After I'd passed my test my step-dad let me drive his Morris Ital (remember that shoddily built...

They did indeed Notch my owd. They adopted the Deming Circle (American) principle of constant quality management....a cycle of checking, acting upon and improving. Nissan (Datsun back then) made the Austin 7 under licence from the 1930's. The Toyota Corolla is the worlds all time best selling...

Agree. The Metro was a lovely car to drive and roomy inside. Just put together by muppets though.

Ah prune puree the rocket fuel for little uns. Constipated is he? My son was often bunged up as a baby and toddler. Fresh orange juice with some brown sugar in it in his beaker produced spectacular results.

I've used Mintex pads and discs for years. Good kit. Source the correct parts then pay someone to fit for you.

Chinese made and not bad at all. Widely available in supermarkets and offies. Germans built the brewery before WW1.

Eurocarparts do a two tonne RAC brand trolley jack for £38.99. Mind you it's like anything you can pay a lot more depending on whether you want professional trade stuff. I'm a great fan of old tools and still have a few pairs of pliers and spanners belonging to my grandfather. When it comes to...

It's not your house but is owned by a Housing Association?

Good luck to the lad. Life is harder for the younger generation.

I've had Singha lager. Brewed in Thailand. An acceptable pilsner style beer good for quaffing. Three 660ml bottles for a fiver from Tesco.
