KopTalk.com Forums Petrol 'eds thread!

The son I spoke of informed me that the scene where you see someone waving the Mini's onto the back of the coach on that piece of new and unopened motorway at the time, was actually done by his Dad, Peter Collinson, 'cus apparently, the stunt men said it was too bloody dangerous to perform!!

I need to discover what road they filmed that opening scene on, and pay it a visit.

BIG classic car fan I am. Spend most of the summer enviously trawling the shows, hating myself more and more with each passing season for selling my beloved Anglia 105E that I stupidly sold 10 years ago.

Into the run of the mill stuff, as i can't afford these expensive to purchase run and maintain highly 'desirable' motors that we all drool over, like the Essy Mk1 Twin Cam that i saw for sale at the NEC Classic Car show last November......£65,000!!!!!!

Anyways, I've seen a Mk1 Fiesta 950 with just 24k on the clock in absolutely pristine condition in and out, all original, never had paint with just one previous owner.
I'm half tempted, and it would go down a treat pulling my lickle 450kg 1981 Eriba Puck caravan to the 2 day shows too.

Should I. and face the wroth of Mrs G's fury?

Being a wummin,as you can imagine Growls Cars arnt on my list of what to haves but i do like the classics to look at, seen a show at chatsworth a few years back and i think i would be really happy with my vintage clobber,head bound in scarf,waving me hanky at all we pass,a bit like the queen mum used to.

I'm in the market for a new van soon.
Just found this little beaut. that I'm sure Deako will appreciate!

Wouldn't let you steer a shopping trolley,why do you need such a beast?

Petrol or diesel, not that it makes much difference, as they'll both do a staggering approx 20mpg if driven carefully I suppose.

Driving on the M56 this avvy, and all 3 lanes were doing about the same speed.
Sauntered up alongside one of these beauries in white.
I know it's French, and many don't like French cars, but I must say, Peugeot have REALLY got the style of this staggeringly blob on the money.
Thouroughly drop dead gorgeous. Verging on looking like a 'super car' imo, only for a more reasonable 20-30k.

im compensating.

i hate having a van, a car is too mall, this is the middle ground.
