mr2 alternator removal

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

Polski Fiat 126p for me please. :mrgreen: Nah, not really, I was taking the BIS! :lol:

For two grown ups and two wee ones, how about the following? (Click the image to see the full description):

Just like a MK2 Jag to look at from the outside but with a lovely hemi-headed V8 that renders a radio totally beyond necessity. :D


There are currently only 21 watchers on the Daimler and that's not a lot for an inexpensive classic that looks really quite good, get in there before someone else does. 8-)

edited: another watcher joined in while I was busy posting the link. Buy it, Rich. Please.

But which is the better sound, the silky smooth jag straight 6 or the slightly raughty Daimler v8.
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

:lol:

Tell you what mate, I'll send you a cheque for ten million $US and you can pay it into your bank, then send me a cheque for the difference between the cost of the car and the ten million. What could possibly go wrong with that idea? :P

Anyway, you have a JCB, now that's extreme wealth! :D

MX5s are lovely but - and I don't know any easy way to break this to you - they only have two chairs. :x S'pose you could always buy two and glue them together? :mrgreen:
