Re: Argentina complains to the BBC

Knowing the fact that most Americans own guns, would the BBC risk the lives of top* presenters for a stunt ?

Maybe....maybe someone in BBC has had enough also :lol:

Re: Argentina complains to the BBC

At the risk of upsetting fellow 800 lovers I have to say that for years I have found Clakeson's behaviour to be loutish, arrogant and offensive. I too stopped watching TG a long time ago for that reason and because it was no longer a true motoring prog. The use of 'that number plate' was clearly pro...

Nightfire Fastback

P789 MOG seen at M25 J8 Reigate going north on A217 toward Burgh Heath between 17:30-18:00 5th Nov

Re: Joining the ranks

That is one gorgeous looking Coupe! congratulations on a super buy. TBH I was very unsure of getting a silver car as I have become anti over the years but it's certainly growing on me. The Zircon has a very subtle blue tinge in it which looks better than a pure silver imo. More importantly though t...

Re: Scuttle panel 800 Vitesse

As a side note to what others have already said. The window ECU resides underneath the passenger seat and is bolted to the floor so any moisture,water is this are is not desirable. Luckily the water hasn't run back beyond the leading edge of the seats because my drive slopes and I parked facing dow...

Re: Joining the ranks

To briefly answer it has had two previous owners, the last one having it since 2001. For unknown reason he had it laid up in 2004 and it was recommissioned in Nov13. A photograph left in the docs would suggest it spent some time in Spain prior to that. MOTs show that it did most of it's 91,000 miles...

Scuttle panel 800 Vitesse

I've already run into some problems since buying on Sat :( Having left it out on the drive in the rain overnight I now find that there is a leak soaking the footwells.
