Chris - is your the MkII Grannie? They were (and surviving ones still are) absolute icons. Comfort and space in abundance. The inejctor fed 2.8s used to go pretty nicely as well.
Got any pics? |

I have a vanilla monkey hanging from a branch with both arms, I love it when I'm sat in a queue seeing how far I can pull him down before he springs back up again.

He was £1.25 but definately the best £1.25 I've spent on my car.
You can't buy much decent stuff for your car for just over a quid, but I've found something.

 Yeh very true on the £1.25 ...Mine was free as it was with the car.It dont even smell now Just looks good,I have a chrome one too on the windscreen dash that dont smell but it looks like sone extreme gadget infact people say to me corr whots that LOL,,I guess another good investment for me regarding a £1.25 freshner is to spend another & get a re Fill. | |

It would definitely make a change from living in the most central part of the country!

Got any pics? | Yeah HDi fun, Comfort: its like a moblile living room, crossed with a hovercraft, LOL. Mine is the carb version, but she's like the proverbial " sh*t of a hot chrome shovel " 
I have put some pics in an album on my profile! Please bear in mind these pics are of her as I got her  She is ' Laid up ' at the moment, awaiting a few cosmetic repairs, a damn good clean, Ins & Tax Funds. Hopefully once I've finished she will look something like the picture Wayne has posted on my ' Intro thread '.

Nothin' wrong with carbs mate - in those days they usually gave better pedal response than injectors anyway - mainly because the electronic regulation was a bit sluggish then.
Foot on pedal - throttles open, fuel on standby shoved thanks to throttle pumps etc. And off you go. In comfort and classic style. And not that much more slowly than some of todays jumped up non-execs.
Cheers,
Rgds,

We're all in Northam (couple of miles north of Bideford off the A39) at the moment, visiting the inlaws. Hopefully I can claw myself away from the tourist badge given I have family down this way
How about a quick attempt at organising a TQcars meet in the southwest? I'm sure we can get a few responses and attendees.
Rgds,
