No photo but today I saw a 1988 Cavalier CD in excellent condition. No sign of rust and the interior was immaculate, not seen a cavalier of that vintage for a long time.

A few from the Breakfast Club meet at The Hare, Roxwell, this morning. That Buick was lush!

Nowt wrong with Diesel bikes mate, the Mercedes OM660 799cc Diesel is used in a range of commercially available off roaders from Luxembourg or one of those other compact countries from over there. It doesn't have the cat or the DPF that the Smarts have and the turbo is even larger so I'm guessing that they'd go pretty well with 61bhp and lots of something motorcyclists haven't heard of yet: Torque. Only trouble is that it's an ugly wee thing to look at where most mainstream bike engines are things of beauty, especially the classic aircooled ones.

There are also bikes with PSA XUD 1.9 Diesels, I'd imagine that they'd be handy for farming.

And yes, that Buick is rather lovely too. That paint, oh man that paint! Whoever did that is clearly a feckin' genius whose talent is massive. Massive I tells you.

A very tidy green Morris Minor 1000 went past the shop earlier and also a cream/white Commer based camper van. The TVR Vixen is also about today.....the car having been with it's owner longer than my MG Midget has been with me :!:
Rules exist for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men.

MG Midget 1500, MGB GT V8, Morris Minor Traveller 1275, MG Midget 1275 & too many bicycles.
