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!)

When did you buy an orange lambo?
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: Orange (original, not the FWD car that shares its name or the modern tribute act) Cinquecento/500L, Terry. Bought new by my Mother in 1972, used for a few months/4000 miles then mothballed as she could never get the concept of either double declutching or simply not using the clutch pedal other than when setting off. Then there was the choke, which she always pulled up instead of the starter cable and tended to flood the engine every time she started it warm! Easily done as they're the same and next to each other on the tunnel.
The car was recommissioned by Sis-in-law beast and self about a year ago now and is probably the lowest mileage, totally rustfree (thanks to Ensis V from new among other preservation media) Cinq in RHD anywhere on the planet. Only the barrels & rings, gearbox, brake system and kingpins required more than a simple clean and refresh, everything else is totally 1972, including the roof canvas and the paint. Mum always drove with the roof open and I would stand up on the passenger seat with my head sticking out. Hey, I was eight, H&S hadn't been invented.. :oops:

Lamborghini indeed! Why would the Mother need a tractor to bring me to school? :P ;)

SWMBO's nephews all enjoy being taken to school on one of the tractors, why would you have been any different? ;)

That rather depends upon which tractor you'd be using. I'd gladly have been seen and/or brought to school on this:

BEAST!

I want one, and that seeder combo. :shock: The sheer width of the thing! The only place I've seen more boards was in the floor of the Haçienda.

Their favourites are the Fastracs. There are 4 8130s which are used for business and some John Deeres of varing models and ages used for the farm itself.

Rich, is this your old car?

I think the alternator went again so the new owner found a solution.
