Please play nicely. No one wants to listen/read a keyboard warriors rants....
I have a full tank of petrol in the C1. I must remember to drain it down to fumes before chucking a bucket of water over it and putting it up for sale.
Meanwhile, I feel slightly smug at having bought a milk float a couple of weeks ago.
The 2000 was a nice size car for trips to Grandparents in Durham and Aberdeen.
At some point we ended up with a Dolomite Sprint 1850 quite nippy
Dolly Sprint was 2 litre. Standard Dolomite was 1850, Skruntie.
My mate had a Triumph Toledo. I think it was a 1300, but maybe 1100.
It leaked oil from the rocker cover and when we took it off we found someone had made a gasket with tin foil.
Toledo was a 1300......took over from the Triumph 1300.
I expect it was so knackered that it felt like an 1100!
Good vid, Opti. I did look at some like that but substantially dearer. After some thought as to whether I would get the use of them, taking a number of factors into account, versus the price, I, or should I say swmbo, decided that the ramps at £150 would be better value. 👍🏻😀

The sales Directer had the 2500PI different league again.
My mate had a Triumph 2500 S and another mate had the 2000. Both were bought to banger race but were too good not to have some fun in first. We were going to Wycombe up the M40 when the lead car, the 2000, called us alongside to say that he was flat out and needed a push up the hill.
We dropped in behind him, closed the gap and were giving him a gentle push when there was a clunk. The angle of the lower half of the 2500 S chrome front bumper had ridden over the top of the tow ball of the 2000 and we were stuck. We both had to ease over to the hard shoulder in tandem so that we could stop and bounce it back off. Ah, the things we did in our youth and got away with. Total madness when I think about it now.
Uptown Houston, $3.99 a gallon for both petrol and diesel. That's 75p a litre give or take
Even CN have picked up on just how tied to China th UK has become, arguing that the Chagos deal, the recent trade trips and trying to defend the Iranian regime only make sense of we're allies of China and by definition, anti American.
But I thought USA was less than UK Gallon More Than US Gallon in capacity.
But just checked 25 Gall tank on my old Pontiac and seems UK is the caller holding only
20.8169 UK Gall
As they say we learn something new every day.
US gallon is obviously still 8 pints but a US pint is only 16 fl oz versus a proper UK pint which is 20 fl oz.
Is that why Yanks can't hold their beer when they're over here?
Ace fun, yes. Agree with you there Lizzie. But when you see your beloved Victor 101 being demolished… ?
There was always a Rover 90 or 110 that smashed everything else to bits.
Still fun though!!!
Yes he hit Hagler after the bell and also broke his hand in that fight April6th 1987. Seems like a century ago😵💫
A quart is 1.04/5 litres, and 4 quarts to a US gallon, ergo, a gallon of fuel is pretty much equivalent to 4 litres ;)Uptown Houston, $3.99 a gallon for both petrol and diesel. That's 75p a litre give or take
