I'd really like an Escort, but I can't afford a reasonable one at the moment and it'd be getting a mild Pinto as soon as poss with a Sierra 5 speeder.

Escorts are hookers. RS2000's were hookers wearing leather.

Get the full monty RS200. The real mans car

RS1800s were the nicest, but I do fancy the Mk1 Lotus Esky I got a tootle in

RS200, the best incarnation of the BD motors and a fugging beautiful car. I sat in one, once and spend far too much time excreting bodily fluids over one

What model Beaver...what cab?

Im pretty sure it was the plastic cab they were reviewing, the old film they were using was sort of scratchy at the start. Pretty sure it was the same model as this pic, although I dont think that is a plastic cab model. I think talking trucks is repeated at some stage this week, so will be getting my father to record it, if he remembers. I really loved how and where they were doing their brake testing, just haul it down a 2 lane motorway and get the passenger to fire a chalk pellet out the window at the same time the driver stands on the brakes.

I agree about the background, but this pic does;nt do anything for the statue.

Honda's Unicam has 4 cam lobes for a single cyl - the SD1 has 6 cam lobes, one for each cyl.

A few people said you couldn't rev an engine with forked rockers like that, but my VT250 Spada pulled 14krpm very happily with them

11.3 ltr diesle I think. They were doing tests on a really steep hill with it fully loaded and it pulled away easily. The 2005 Freightliner F112 I was driving would of been bouncing the diffs pulling away on a hill like that. I would love to get me one of those beavers one day.

That's the LAD cab, so called because it was used by Leyland, Albion and Dodge. It was a mix and match cab giving various versions - that looks like the Albion cab. Leyland used more models with the cab. I used to like driving them, on the smaller models the gearlever came in from the back of the cab, so you used it behind you. Larger models like the Hippo and Octopus had a twin stick.
