Show us ya... cars !

[Tony Nitrous]

Did ya get a wee go in it Tony?  Looking at the specs on those, they'll put all but the higher output Holdens & Falcons to shame.

We sent out about 15 or 20 Stingers this week.
(Must be getting close to the release date)
There's some nice and some very stand out colours!
Mostly GT's but a few S and SI models, all 3.3 twin turbo's.
Nice cars. Will be interesting to see if the public accept a Kia at that price.

It's the exact opposite to my old rat one, this is totally mint! It actually belonged to a guy I've known for some years who sadly passed away recently, it was his pride and joy and he'd lavished god knows how much time and money on it. When I got it the back was full of stuff, boxes of parts, a custom made dust cover, a box of files documenting the complete rebuild, and even a box of trophies he'd won at car shows with it!

Thats a cracking V70, lovely old bus, I bet theres not many as nice as that.
Is that Shotley-Gate?
If so, I used to take a ride there regular in 1962 when I lived in Ipswich, ( on my Fancis Barnet) .

It certainly is mate, funny enough it's become a destination for many bike and car fans - I go there regularly and it's a rare day you done't see something worth looking at. Last Sunday afternoon it was rammed with all manner of classics - old Zephyrs, Cortinas, Vauxhalls plus many VW's, quite a few yanktanks and even a couple of hot rods

HMS Ganges closed years ago though didn't it?

Yes - it's now a museum https://www.hmsgangesmuseum.com/

[essexboydave]

I think the last bit to go was the mast and that went a few years back, all that's left now is the museum and the sad sight of a number of boys graves in the churchyard.

Got rid of the car and got one of these when I retired in March VW T5

[Speedy1959]

My Twin Turbo Diesel Saab...
VERY comfortable and 55mpg on a run with plenty of grunt when needed.

[KiwiCol]

I like that Speedy. That's my sort of wagon.  What sort of HP & torque has it got?

[grog]

much more than my corolla. it revs like a motorbike so i enjoy it, just a much slower pace.
