Re: What did you do to your Marina today?
Excellent- although it bugs me when people whinge about incorrect style number plates on cars (it's up to the owner what they want so far as I'm concerned), it does make a difference when people make the effort to get it right! I'm not fussed by it either, but a touch of attention to detail is alwa...

Ordered up some new number plates for Eileen the Ital, gone for period-correct black on white/yellow raised riveted with bevelled edge plates.

Re: What did you do to your Marina today?
I like all three Marina bodystyles more or less equally, but I'm totally on board with poverty spec. Less trim to need replacing if it goes walkabout or breaks

Re: Morris Marina Custom Retro Rides
I'm not sure why, but the Vauxhall Ventora grille really seems to work. I hope if the next owner decustomises it they'll at least leave the grille on.

Re: What did you do to your Marina today?
HubNut's not a bad lad. I understand why he's not to everyone's taste, but I can't help liking his videos, even the ones about the knackered Fox. I think he was a bit down on the Marina compared to the Allegro because the Allegro is stranger and less typical. The very conventional 1960s Detroit-infl...

Re: What did you do to your Marina today?
Nothing too drastic today, just getting used to starting a car that has a choke, throughout learning to drive I've only ever started piddly little modern Japanese and French hatchbacks. Also, on the lookout for two window winders and the plastic cap to go over the hole in the passenger seat where th...

Re: Should the coupe have looked like this?
Apparently in Thailand, where this odd creation is from, there's a strange subculture of modding older cars to look modern or putting modern running gear in them. It reminds me of that advert where the Indian guy makes his Hindustan Ambassador look like a Pugeot.

Re: Should the coupe have looked like this?
Found this rather odd Rover Allegro on Facebook. It certainly goes to show you can make an older car look much more modern than it is if you're crazy enough.

Re: North West Meet up.
Won't be able to make it I'm afraid, currently in the midst of moving house earlier than expected.

Re: Should the coupe have looked like this?
I imagine they'd dip into the parts bin and rummage around for some more modern suspension, would certainly make the 2 litre diesel less hairy.

Re: What did you do to your Marina today?
They probably only know how to steal keyless cars these days anyway. I hope the tools were insured.

Re: Should the coupe have looked like this?
Had a stab at the Rover 500, by now my inability to do curves is really starting to show, don't think I'll even try with the 55.
