Sacrilege!

There's a story on Orange's News page on the internet here about a company in South Africa converting E30 3-Series BMW's into pick-up trucks. They look to be very professionally done, but nevertheless...

I wonder if the sound track matches that which came with Mason’s book?
If whoever edited it had cut out the first few seconds, they might have got away with it. But the car in the opening frames, and then the person walking a dog backwards ruin the illusion.

Just watching the video that I linked to about the Jag going down the M4. It starts with a chap, purporting to be a member of the Advanced Drivers, who pulls away from the curb outside Castrol House in Central London.

However, even though this was in 1963, I wouldn't exactly approve of his driving, pulling out simultaneously with traffic approaching; he should have, in my opinion, waited until the traffic had passed. Not good use of mirrors and hand signals.

John you might think this a bit Perhaps even deserving a 'Sacre Bleu'! Spotted recently at the Sandown Historic races, I had to take a pic.

All a bit dull lately, here are two 'funny signs' found on U Tube.

BEWARE OF THE DOG.

The cat's not trustworthy either.


If you suck at playing the trumpet. That's why.

Well they made me smile.

If you need a bit of a laugh , just think of the difference between a Genealogist and a Gynecologist .

Just watched it .
At the end it says something like " This film is not an accurate reconstruction of actual events " .
But still quite good , and well worth watching as it is a lot more real than most of the Hollywood type car films .

Knowing that I watch even Hollywood-type films, will follow your advice and enjoy images and sound. And I find the end to be a happy one, not because I don't like Audi but Lancia managed very well with a single RWD during a long championship where some tracks were in favour of AWD cars. IMO as they say.

Spotted a real rarity in Hesdin this morning - a Metro Convertible.

Whenever was the last time anyone saw one of those?

My pictures from the Bicester Scramble yesterday are linked to this post: https://tentenths.com/forum/showthre...70#post4190870

But since we were discussing them the other day I walked out of the inner display area and just on the edge of the general parking I found this. No doubt somebody on here will tell me it's not genuine and was probably the cause of the fire at Luton Aitport but the DVLA lists it as a Ferrari. There is a company that builds fantastic replicas on BMW Z4 Chassis if you really want one.

Did you hear about the man who thought Screwfix was a dating agency?

I was playing poker with a a few friends one of whom was a plumber, who looked after the loo's at Buckingham Palace. I had a pair of twos but he had a Royal Flush.

I told EB I was having trouble with flies, he said I should buy a spray. Utter rubbish, it ruined my trousers.

The sign said 'Keep of the grass' so I went back to Whisky for my kicks.

Now where is my hat ................................

Surely being German, its more of a "verdammt noch mal" (apologies if google translate has done me a disservice here.)

For it to be a True Blue Sacre Bleu, there would need to be a French Connection?
