These were both in Tesco last night. The mog had a "good from 50 feet" paint job but I would still like it (first job would be to put the steering wheel in the right place)

Fortunately it's a Ford, so i don't have to say i'm drooling over some fellas Willy...

Well he does have 2 of them (I see them quite often) so you could say he is a really lucky bloke as he has 2 fords..............

If i was lucky enough to have either an MB or GPW, it would be used just like his. A runabout town car.

Only downside is my grocery bill would increase, as there'd always be one more thing i'd forgotten to pick up...

This old girl was in Burton hospital last Wednesday. Looking like the only reason it was on the road is there is no MOT requirement. With rust everywhere and hand painted whitewalls. It was driven in by possibly the original owner.

It's recently been subjected to a plate transfer and for that to happen, it must be tested at the time, so maybe they have a sympathetic tester? Maybe it's OK in the bits that matter? I wouldn't be worrying about its possible future need for new metal as a large bunch of sheisters who trade out of a big hut in the East Midlands have recently imported the remaining stocks of bits for Oxfords of that age from the same country that the new SD1 body parts came from a few years back, so door skins for these five door, all steel versions are available as are new bonnets, sills, floorpans, larger tunnel panels to take the Isuzu gearbox, bulkheads, saloon roofs and chassis legs.

In fact, there was probably never a better time to

Mill Garages probably never wrote:choose Volvo Morris Oxford Series IV steel shootingbrake.

given the availability and selection of parts available. Mind on, if it needs any shootingbrake-specific bits the owner's probably a bit screwed because they weren't built out there.

Went to the final Tredegar Park show on 21st and for the first time since 2009, there was no rain at all The camera decided to play up and was over exposing (Now being fixed) but luckilly it clouded over a bit and I was able to get some photos, when the Sun was blocked out.

I have just signed up to Flickr. I don't yet know how to post the pictures on here directly, but they are all shown at https://www.flickr.com/photos/128338269@N03/.

That link you posted was actually the instructions for doing that very thing, Martin.

Briefly then:

On an open image, click the photo itself and then scroll to the size you want to post from the list, so 800x480 (16:9) or 800x600 (4:3) is the ideal size here as they're big enough to see yet small enough to open fully on all but the odd older phone screen. Click that size, then right click the image that opens and select "copy image location".
Click the IMG tag at the top of this page on the forum and paste the location there, which does this:



(800x500 in that case, as it has a bespoke aspect ratio, so flickR includes these in its list of sizes from which you choose)


It would be necessary to make your images public though, or what we see when we click your link is our own flickR home screen and that's not what you want.

is that your pussy cat?

I wish mate! No, I just searched images for "winking kitty" and that lovely beast came up.

Better than that: Today I managed to get a photo of the RRC the same colour as Terry's that I keep threatening to post to this thread. I even took it with a camera, my old Fuji compact, which has bayonet fitting lens that can be interchanged and it has a proper viewfinder too, like a film camera from days gone by. The viewfinder does mean that it's possible to think that it's taken the picture when in fact there wasn't enough light though...
BOLLOCKS!
