Oh by the way good for you Ben! Hope your conversion is done soon so we can see it!

Not for me and my Jubilee however :)

PS. what you doing with the Trunions? As these were crap for the get go, and I would imagine all the extra forces on them will push them to there limit!
Also remember you still don't have ABS or air bags etc (Unless thats on the Mod list!) so going fast in an old motor can be hairy even with mods! :wink:

Printers?, Eh?, I've used Crayola and only the best John Bull printing sets for my lithographic efforts, on a par with the Lindisfarne Gospels I'll have you know!!.
As for the T-shirts, well they make good wipers for the oily handed amongst us!!

Matty do you still have your bespoke "mumford marina" jumper?


P.S. see you all in casualty when SLK carries on in a straight line at the first bend!! :twisted: :mrgreen:

Alas Brian the jumper no longer fitted so I sold it on Ebay to an up and coming young drag artist from down South whose stage name was "Mumford".Any ideas Ben ?:D


Paul said:-Also remember you still don't have ABS or air bags etc (Unless thats on the Mod list!) so going fast in an old motor can be hairy even with mods!

Well I must disagree as "Mods" tend to be neat,clean and tidy types.However if you had a few hippies or bikers in the motor with you then it probably would be quite hairy :!:

White Knuckle rides

Post by marinabrian » Fri Jan 11, 2008 7:47 pm

Here's another - Driving to Sellafield nuclear reprocessing plant in SPO 110K "Spollick" Russ wakes up from his post "Tour" snooze and grapples the wheel from Plug Grevitt's grasp.
Oh how we laughed as our lives passed before our eyes in the 5 seconds it took to regain control, on the hairpin bends of the Alston to Penrith road.


Morris Marina - Alright in a straight line unless you exceed 50 m.p.h ! (T.M.) :lol:

Cheaper to run than a T.C. & faster I'll bet !! :twisted:

AND you don't get all upset after you spend buckets of money on it, when the bodywork fizzles back to ferrous oxide in the time it's taken me to write this guff :roll:
