Despite the fact that we all love the sound of a Merlin in the air, have you heard any of the documentary clips when the presenter is talking whilst in flight? (ie; James May in 'Toy Stories') Presumably that's mainly due to the rigid mounting Only been there for a day-time run, but was...

Can I take it you've been to East Kirkby & seen the Panton brothers Lancaster?? You can, if you pay the additiona charge, sit in it whilst it taxies!! Plus, the sound of those 4 Merlins being fired up when you're only a wings length from them is wonderful :D :D :D...

I've had 6 Landies, starting with a '69 2A light-Weight, & ending with a '99 110Td5 CSW The articles on the BBC website, in the 'Yorkshire Post', & in 'Autocar' stated that this picture is still a design model Anyway, it's not unveiled until the Frankfurt Motorshow, so things may differ...

Brilliant It's like something that 'Wallace & Gromit' would do, or should have done in a 'A Close Shave'

'Ditto' I work at a big Hospital in the region, & Security have told those of us with decent bikes not to use certain bike-racks as half-a-dozen have gone 'AWOL' Not that they'd do anything unless they caught someone 'in the act', as they're there for the buildings It used to be okay at...

I presume you all know about this site??? http://homepage.mac.com/pfellows1/thisiswhy/index.html

Fair enough, but at least Clarksons phrase is close to the truth (roughly quoted) "A Range Rover makes you look like your shooting preferences are Grouse, rather than 'Drive-Bys' (as opposed to if you own a X5/Porch/etc...)" It was basically a reclothed Discovery 3, with enough internal...

Agree with the colour, but a 'Sport'???? Why not a proper Range Rover?? (& the TDV8?)

Click on pics to open/enlarge Me too :D :D 1st; 1969 2A Light-Weight (complete shed!!) 2nd; 1994 Defender 110Tdi ('300' Hard-Top) 3rd; 1989 90CSW-V8 (genuine factory build!, not a 'bitsa') 4th; 1998 Discovery 50th Anniversary 5th; 1999 Defender...

Paul Morphet (the original owner did tell me once, back in the days when they were still selling wind-surfing gear), I can't remember now though :?

I'd love a Maloo, it's so good that there's one that someone built themselves around this county (got pics of it somewhere) However, it's just a pity that Vauxhall didn't even try to bring the 'wagon' (estate) into the country... imagine that 'taking on the RS6' :D There's a VXR-8...

What about the 'W123' series Mercs in terms of size/price/availabilty??, the only one I like 'bar' the Pagoda roof derivatives http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_W123

I had a '98 model, a '50th Anniversary' model (2 years old when I bought it), & it was certainly big enough for most stuff I wanted to use it for (remember it's a high load-space as well) Yes!!!, mine did get used on ByWays & RUPPs (as well as 'pay & play-days') They can be 'roly-poly'...

Sounds damned fine!! And, 'Texan' bars

Think he was :lol: Yes, they all look good, with all the outdoor life (Nora, mum, does too!!) The results have been uploaded by Stephen/'Womble' (the organiser) but are still only on the Bingley Harriers forum at the minute, not on the proper 'H v C' page...

Blimey, I remember some family friends having one of those in the early-80's A h-u-g-e barge of a car! I got a trackday for my 40th, & spent it at Bruntingthorpe driving TVRs :D If I thought (still my dream car!) Griff 500 was quick, the Sagaris was absolutely mental!!!!!!! Sadly, with it...

Well................................ Sadly, there was no sign of Alistair Brownlee, but Rob Jebb showed up and rode - setting a new course record too, apparantly! I was hoping for a '45 minute' race, all being well (48:12 on foot last year), but ended up at about 47:15 (I think, but...

You certainly get it in the XKR, I keep considering trying the old trick that ******* Shelby (allegedly) used to try when demonstrating the Cobras to journalists/prospective customers He'd tape a $100 bill to the windscreen, & if the passenger could reach it under full-acceleration, he/she...

I'd settle for a Plus8 to replace the XKR, but that 'Life-Car' they announced a couple of years ago looks totally amazing!! :D http://www.morgan-motor.co.uk/sales/lif ... _2010.html

Thanks Paul :roll: Will peat-bogs have the same effect during the Fell-Races???
