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!)

there fixed that for you mate
Now that might be a money saving idea! My missus and I are considering spending some serious wonga. Either by restoring the MG's interior, bodywork and chrome, or, selling our Mercedes Sprinter van conversion and buying a flat-bed car carrier along with a vintage caravan.
A quick "artist's" impression of how that would look.

I may not have got that quite right but you get the idea
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.
These Tabberts are really well equipped, what with central heating, bathrooms, snooker halls and even a built in greenhouse to keep you amused during those interminable caravanning "holidays" as they're optimistically called. I'd set one of these on a decent foundation and move in tomorrow if aliens kidnapped me and removed most of my brain beforehand.
J "Home is where you park it", so the saying goes. That may yet come true..
There are a couple of perquisites before you can do that John:
You have to buy a flatbed transit and start offering to fix people's driveways for a small amount of money then charging a fortune.
Complain everyone hates you parking on grass verges / village squares / public parks and you like being able to go wherever you want.
THEN you can buy some land somewhere, preferably on a green belt then put down a concrete base and park your caravan on it without planning permission and wonder why everyone hates you even more than they did before.
