Lahondas, to me it goes far beyond anything macho, they are the ultimate expression of individualism and freedom. Old or New- they can express different thing, they have art, science, engineering, and ingenuinity within them. If you go into them deep enough, there is politics in their design...

They DO look cute, and to be fair, they've been around for so long, if you know what you're doing, you could probably make the car quite reliable. The best advertisement for the old Mini IMO- is the NEW Mini, which I can't stand, I think the old Mini looks sensuous and wonderful compared to the...

I've seen 8 year old ones fetching 3-4 grand and not in that great condition. But they're overhyped by a similar brigade who promote MGBs and Triumphs, while VW Golfs and old BMWs are left to rot. I wouldn't mind so much if they weren't so "over hyped". Old style beetles go for alot of money...

Martin, eh? What do you mean? T'was in jest- hence the :)

lahondas, thanks, I've always wanted to be in the car industry, I couldn't believe it when I got in. I eat, breath, sleep, drink cars, they are my escape, from a young age, I realised I could "trust" them more then people- how sad is that? Nowadays, I kind of wish I had more of a...

If you're REALLY sentimentally attatched to it, then spend the money, but write off that money. Guess it depends what kind of person you are. You do realise that the RUST WILL come back, unless you do a bare-metal respray-(which is not advisable). Rovers are well known Rotters, I don't know why...

I'm Senior technical Specialist at Jaguar cars UK responsible for Performance and Fuel economy for their engines- so this includes the AJV8s In S type, XJ inc supercharged and the V6s in the S types and X types too. My responsibilities don't span to the new wave of diesels (yet?). I sometimes...

Today can be Legendary. And Monday we can have the word Chameleonic- as that's what everyone seems to be these days, virtue less political animals!

There's a party in North London held by people I knew from 14 years ago, trouble is, I'll be in the Peak District and don't know whether it'll be worth the drive ALL the way down to Palmers Green.....with people I don't have alot in common with anymore, from a time of my life I'd rather...

I think I'm going to go to the Peak distict with the new Porsche tommorow. Some of us from a website/forum- who post on there are coming from all over. This will probably include Ferraris and TVRs (hard shoulders should be packed :p). I can't help but be paranoid that this is some weird...

Ok, who's taking bets then? I'll make sure all contestents/combattents remove piercings and suchlike before the "Jello battle"!

I LOVE Pink Floyd, Their music takes me away to special places ( and I'm quite lucid I can assure you!). My favourite album is "Dark Side Of The Moon" and my Favourite song is "Wish You Were Here"....

Human face transplant conjures up images of Hannibal Lechter....EW! Or may be even that creature/brother from Hell Raiser!

Greetings Watercrystal, How are you? Where are you from? Its nice to have your aquaintance for the first time. PS I mished you vewy vewy much too.... :p

I don't mind a bit of "Cussing" I think used in moderation and used effectively, it can show passion and free spirit in a world of conformity....

Well said Freya, Been trying to get to the US for years- one reason is because of this "low Brow" obsession....

Jenem I used to live in Vancouver, I went back to vist last year. I still have fond memories of North Van, and West Van, Breadgardens open all night and the terrible traffic on the Lions Gate , and of course Stanley park..... Anyway, to bring this thread back on track, I guess alot of the...

Doesn't it make more sense (not to mention cost effectiveneness) for the more fical and whimsical among us to just use "Magic markers"? :p :p

Mildred?Eh? And what does George think it is then? How about "You're the brightest star in the constellation of Orion"? No, no, I know.... Your soul is like the brightest star in a galaxy where the night is worshipped? :p

You're a star litany! Perhaps even Sirius! cheers!
