Never mind. Sounds like V8s are preety reliable.
If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.
Wow takes me back to the late 70's early 8o's when I owned the best of British....65' or 67' MK1 cant remember, but loved it!!
I had crushed walnut velvet on the inside roof/door panels and plush carpet throughout. Pioneer stereo with a grafic equalizer/coby exhaust/twin throat webbers...agh agh agh agh!!!!
The Victor was mine also, not such a great pick up car....![]()
We had a '63 2dr, back in the '60s - painted in Lotus Cortina colours - white with the olive green stripe and boot - it wasn't, but we drove it like it was.....

Sorry but that supra is nasty. Very tacky looking, especially inside.
They may have tried to invade Poland but the Germans make fantastic cars....
Once I drove it, I had to have it... and I wont settle for any jap crap now!

Modifying a car for performance is akin to polishing a turd
Oh my. Not sure I should post this pic in here, you all have such "cool" cars. My first car was a 1965 Valliant AP5. If I win lotto I will go out of my way to source one and make it the yummiest car. Straight 6 that took no prisoners. 3 speed forward, one reverse. Went like a scolded catLine locked, full throttle the smoke had to be seen to be believed

No such thing as going straight around cornersTail out 4 wheel drifting was the norm
Spun it out one day, I braked heading into a corner
I had to you know, some fool had parked a car part way through the corner, I just knew I would hit it with the arse end of my bomb cornering normally

Went like a rocket, was rust free (had a panelbeater mate that hand beat panels for her) Multi coloured then though, every time he fixed something it got sprayed a different colour. Eventually I painted her all over primer grey, man she was cool!
Sadly dead, written off on the Royal Oak roundabout, by the young fella I sold it to, that did not listen when I said she was uncontrollable around corners.
Obviously not my own car, but one suspiciously like it
PS: stop talking about cars!
