Very interesting thread

Depends how you define "where they'll get in your way".

 

Glad to be of service, but I don't think anyone else is paying attention.

 

I had one of them, loverly motah. A mobile greenhouse it was, I grew a
dope plant on the back shelf. The prop shaft parted company with the
back axle on the A127 one day on me way home from work. That was an
interesting and stimulus filled 50 yards.

 

The Hunter, which was the car I learnt to drive in, would do over 100
indicated. Which was no mean feat for a repmobile in it's day.

 

From the thread:

Quality first question... The chap had already mentioned he was
travelling sideways in his car, blocking both lanes of a B road on a
blind bend......like the biker could in anyway be contributing to the
crash!

 

Just double-click on it; it should ask you if it's a messsage ID or
something else, then simply move your window to it, even re-retrieving
it from the server if needed.

Well, amongst other things, Google Groups will use it to find messages
for you.

I haven't used Agent for years, so I can't remember what it'll do with a
message-ID. Tried it without the angle-brackets?

Hah! That'll teach 'em.

 

Yeah, but rose tinted specs and all that. Plus a shite memory, of course. To
be truthful, I would've bet money on me being right, such was the strength
of the memory.

I'll make an appointment with the quack right now

Well it WAS a long time ago. I remember the brakes far better than I
remember the "go" of it.

Oddly, I had a Sceptre too back in 1966. For a whole three days before I tok
it back. Even though it was 2nd hand, the dealer took it back and gave me
akk my money back. Nice guy, so I bought my next car off him which I kept
for a bit longer

Wasn't anything better than those things?

Thing is that kind of reasoning appears to be what is applied when insco's
do knock for knock deals

Unfortunately for my father he worked for a company that did a lot of
business with BL and the old Rootes group so he was told it was
preferable that he either had an Austin Princess or a Chrysler Alpine.
Neither appealed very much so he took the Princess, left it on the
drive and continued to commute by rail.

The Princess died when my elder brother reversed it into a tree and
the impact rippled the roof of the car. He never did admit how fast he
was going but after that he was banned from driving anything belonging
to my parents.

 

Are you bringing this latest toy to the Elephant or are you going to
quietly do a Zymurgy and unsubscribe from the list and hope that
nobody notices you're a soft bastard?

I thought LN was the only female on the list but now I know otherwise.

 

When you use the showers in a German prison, dropping the soap is the
least of your worries.

 

Your a Gas and no mistake young Oggy

 

So we're going to Eddie's garage in January?

 

I once towed a Triumph 2000 into the garage after the driver had hit a bus
stop not 50 yards from where he started. The car would've been a write-off
these days, but back then (late 60's) the insco's didn't write cars off as
readily as they do now, but it was REALLY fucked. The whole monocoque was
bent like a banana and the crash had happened at around 10 mph.

The real problem was the driver never took his foot off the accelerator, so
even after the initial impact, driving forces were still being applied, and
in first gear they weren't inconsiderable. It was still in first gear when
we pulled it free of the bus stop too. A new bodyshell later [1] and 18
months later it was back on the road.


[1]2 shells actually, because the first replacement shell got fucked in the
garage when a Ford Zodiac fell off the ramp and onto the roof of the shell
sitting on the floor.
