  1. Noice. Now for the silver shitbox, and i think we're up to date.....
  2. Stanley or a Locomobile? (Eventually one and the same thing......)
  3. Dad still has a power drill made by them....
  4. My turn... :P
  5. SEAT Alhambra
  6. Freak. :P
  7. 36. But I had a quality upbringing. :P My Dear Old Dad is President (or maybe ex now) of the Daimler Lanchester Club of Vic, and last I heard also Vice President of the Assoc Of Motoring Clubs. I've been going to Vintage/ Veteran/ Historic car shows for more years than I care to admit.
  8. Your right, I got the windscreen wipers wrong... :P Edit: It's an AC Frua. With 7 Litre ford goodness. :P
  9. It's LHD, it's in europe, and I've run ou of ideas. It looks like a euro 280zx......
  10. Correct. :P
  11. It's a Hupmobile. :P
  12. Late 30's. similar to a Chrysler?
  13. Nope. The company was owned by Daimler at the time......
  14. Veeeeeeery close. One version was, but not this one. :)
  15. Nope. But not all that far off. Right country.
  16. Lucky man. It's the car Dad has always wanted. If I go to any shows with him (unfortunately rare now...) he pines over them. :)
  17. That, sir is a Hudson 8. My dear old Dad would give his left clacker for one. However, he does have one of these....
  18. :) I love these things....
  19. Mazda Roadpacer.
  20. The MPS3 was never mean't to be a rival of the WRX. It was positioned for the Focus RS/ Golf GTi market. Same goes for the 6 MPS. ie: Liberty etc. The MPS 6 platform was good, but far to heavy. And expensive. I like the new shape. It updates it in line with the rest of the models. It was looking dated. Disapointed it's not a complete new platform, but the old one was by no means bad. It did suffer from NVH issues, particularly in the hatch, therefore it'll be interesting to see if that's better. It should be. I had a number of opportunities to drive the old 3 back to back with most of it's competitors, and it was a good thing to drive. If you got over the interior looking like the interior of Darth Vaders helmet. A little black light would light up in black telling you something in black that you couldn't read.....However, I considered it to be one of the best available in that market. Cosidered one for Mrs Dwarf very strongly, before spending a little more for a Golf (and getting a lot more car.) The update can only be a good thing for Mazda. The old one sold hand pver fist, and I expect the new one to do the same. As for the looks of the new MPS, the bonnet scoop looks like it will suck in children and small trees. Too try hard for me.
  21. Next. :)
  22. Good up-bringing. That and if you look at the picture full sized, it tells you. :) Try this.
  23. Talbot Lago.
  24. Well done. We have a winner. :) we were given a bum steer. It's Swiss, not Italian....
  25. ... not that we can tell.....
