One of my cars appears to be missing...

Hello, my normal spaces seem to be vacant...

Nothing down that way:

Nothing down that way either:

HEY, WHAT THE... WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN THERE AND WHERE'S MY ANGLIA?!!!

(One hour later)

Ah there you are, outside Burnham Autos

I decided I'm not getting the time to finish this project myself so I've entrusted Burnham Autos to get it finished for me. There's a few bits I'm not happy with that I did a long time ago and I simply can't face doing the job again, especially now I'm five years older than when I originally did it. It's going to cost me a bit but this way I'll have it finished and MOT'd in a few weeks time. Can't wait, I've waited a long time and put a lot of my life into it

Is the car behind very big, or is that a midget car?

Jonny69 · 17-12-2008, 00:41

Midget car

No really, it is

lostkat · 17-12-2008, 06:32

Can't wait to see it once it's all finished

I love your Anglia

I shall have to pop by when the Anglia is done - I can't wait to see it finished.

*Dribbles* Excellent, can't wait to see this done

You know I have Love for the Anglebox.
I'm just glad that you are finally realising a dream mate & are about to get that Beauty on the road again,
Great little car & a Gorgeous colour, Chuffed to bits for ya.

I want an Anglebox of my own

Jonny69 · 29-12-2008, 19:11

I had it running today. You'll need Quicktime to play these shamelessly poor videos I took inside the car. Right click and save...

Battery is a bit knacked

But she runs nice and strong

I'll get some better videos tomorrow and give it some proper beans

I may be completely off base here, but the vehicle behind looks a lot like a Dodge Grand Caravan, a 7 passenger mini-van that's got a 3.8L V-6 FWD in it. In which case, both your statements are true. The vehicle behind is absolutely enormous in comparison to even a 5 series BMW, while the Anglia makes a Smart look normal sized.

[EDIT] Looking closer there is no way it could be a Dodge. Wheels are wrong, headrests are wrong, gullwing wipers are wrong and the bonnet is too long. So my entire post is irrelevant except for me to say to Johnny that I really wish I could be there for the first (legal) run.
