If it's the my mates SLC you mean, it was green with a lighter green velour interior, seventiestastic 😁 He had a few pulley based issues when he started driving it daily and was only getting 8 mpg !!!! I haven't spoke to him in a couple of years so don't know if it's still going (it was the...

A quote from a different thread but my answer would be "Only because Bruce is no longer here"

Always think of Bruce when I hear of any humorously calamitous act in the locale .....

Not a W126 though. The first actual car that I ever drove (illegally, don't tell my Dad 😁) was a W126 and hopefully when the time comes a W126 will be my last, seeing me through retirement ! The first car I ever drove legally was a W140 but didn't really like it compared to the W126 and have...

I don't have the time or money to get involved with anything like that currently. But in the next 5 to 10 years I will be getting a Trust Fund come up and a likely inheritance so will get a C126 then. But shock horror probably will get it electric converted as hopefully by then it will be more...

Hence the use of my words "visible rust" 😁

I had the opportunity to buy a low mileage visible rust free 380 SLC for less than 5 grand a few years ago off a mate. I didn't buy it because I always promised myself a SEC :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: In the space of 3 years it's probably tripled in value and it's now being used a ULEZ...

The paper that money was printed on that I was talking about was just a clever innovative invention like any other and then the rights to use it were leased on to other countries because it was better than what they had at the time. Definitely nothing to do the current £hite state of the country 😁

I could be getting it completely wrong but was it not a Polish Family that owned the rights to the actual "Paper" that money used to be printed on. It probably follows that they have expertise and have now moved into other but similar areas in these plastic cash days ?

Sadly ironic and bloody typical at the same time was back in my younger days when I had hair and was slightly buff, the only times I ever got "invited in 😉" was when I was delivering for the Bromley Mental Health Team :doh:

I'm a certain age now so "confessions" would be more suitable tag line for the beefy young blokes who I work with (it does happen 😜) I generally meet all the nutters. I couldn't write a book of my encounters but a maybe mildly interesting pamphlet 😁

So just because you are old doesn't mean you have to be a Grunter ............ So got caught in the insane flash monsoons of yesterday. So sheltering in the canopy of a block of flats there's me, a old bloke probably in his late 80s with cripple sticks and a "amply" blessed young lady, despite...
