Paul J Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 Now if we could only get it networked so Club members could play each other, it might just get us through this winter period PJ Quote
petesnr Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 You lot might like to play with each other but I'm a loner often to be found in my shed when the weather's bad playing with molten lead. Each to his own! pete Quote
Jim Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 O.K. Today's anti - boredom challenge. Think of as many ( and there are some ) cars made by Vauxhall which don't end in " a " or don't sound as though they end in " a ". Don't post on here. PM Me. I'll close it at 7:00 pm Today. I'll buy the winner a pint of beer at the next meeting. Off you go then ! Quote
Paul J Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 Im not that bored yet, try me next week PJ Quote

Jim Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 Back in the Days when Men were Men and Cars were Cars eh Brian ? Quote
Brian Posted November 26, 2009 Author Report Posted November 26, 2009 Yep. We used to spend every Sunday morning working on my dad's cars. If you were going as far as Southampton, you'd spend the week preparing. Quote
Jim Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 Yep I know what you mean. I used to have a Chevette. I called it KIT ! Nothing to do with Knight Rider. It was always in bits ! Quote
Maverick Martin Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 Ah missed that and nobody got my favourite VX4/90 Quote
Coddy Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 Ah missed that and nobody got my favourite VX4/90 No wonder it was always a rust bucket and full of holes! Shuvetts and mk1 viva's had clutch cable problems Good old days? Don't think so with a Vauxhall Now a Ford that was a different matter Mk1 Lotus Cortina or GT Mk2 as above + 1600E Escort Mexico Mk1 Escort RS2000 Dave Quote
Maverick Martin Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 Ah missed that and nobody got my favourite VX4/90 No wonder it was always a rust bucket and full of holes! Dave Yes but we loved our rust buckets There are still some going and there is believe it or not an owners club Martin Quote
Jim Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 Sorry Dave . Cortinas were always crap ! But yep. We did love our old cars. Eeee it were ard in them days ! Quote
Brian Posted November 27, 2009 Author Report Posted November 27, 2009 My first car was a Vauxhall Cresta, it did about 12mpg. Quote
djredrupp Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 12mpg... but back then fuel was dirt cheap! (wasnt it? i wasnt alive then... ) with the old fords.. what about the legendary cosworth?! still worth about Quote
Brian Posted November 27, 2009 Author Report Posted November 27, 2009 Petrol was 4/11 a gallon, 25p to you youngsters!!! Quote

Maverick Martin Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 Petrol was 4/11 a gallon, 25p to you youngsters!!! But in real terms ie what we earn't against what things cost it was probably more expensive then Martin Quote
Coddy Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 When I first started work at the age of 16, on the first day of my apprenticship I took out a life insurance to mature at the age of 65! Cost 7s 6d or 35p in todays money a month. When it matured it would be worth Quote
djredrupp Posted November 28, 2009 Report Posted November 28, 2009 Just Where is this thread going one asks ?? As far as nostalgia road takes you old codgers! Its funny how as soon as the fishing is off for a prolonged period of time, all the threads start of withdrawal systems , odd jobs, jokes and hopeful weather windows! cosworth? ? ? ? Yeah but the operation to have a willy fitted to your forehead must hurt a bit. quite true, but you have got one heck of an immense car, with so much potential!] for lambos / bugattis / ferraris do 200mph with spoilers for downforce, aerodynamics, ceramic brakes etc... imagine doing it in that hunk of junk!!!
