Bagged Ranger? Doesnt that mean his ding dong has a condom on?

Yarm?

Close! Stokesley. A little stop off after a fun trip up the B1257 and before hooning it over the Moors.

Looked like Yarm highstreet. I know that car is local as he is in my local classic car club

[Yaayuh!]

This made me chuckle

 

[pugheaven]

WOW now that rare!

the mileage on the mot's is very sketchy

Odometer probably doesn't work properly.

Snuck through an open gate at Spa this afternoon as they were setting up for the 6 Heures Moto de Spa. These bikes are bloody loud!

Also, you really don’t get a sense of the elevation changes on TV..

Annoyingly MOT testers just enter whatever is on the dash, even if you give them the true miliage :/

What are they supposed to do? Ask people what mileage they would like as opposed to simply writing down what the odometer is saying?

Well it's unlikely someone is lying when they give them a much higher miliage. Derp.

 

[Simon]

And the next guy who does the mot. What does he put in. The lower number he sees which looks dodgy or the made up number again?

I really dont think an MOT tester's job is to take the car owner's word for anything. It's an independent test.

Indeed.

Mileage really doesn’t matter so much on exceptionally old classics anyway.

Those gosh darned pesky MOT testers doing their job to maintain a car's mileage records, what on earth are they doing?!?!

Odometer probably doesn't work properly.

Given the low mileage on the MOT records it's very possibly been round the clock too.

Passed a 2004 Passat W8 estate on the M6. Can’t be many of those around!

 

[Nasher]

They are suprisingly cheap as well. I suppose people don't want the high running costs when it's attached to a normal car anymore.

You could make a proper sleeper out of it though. Just ditch the quad exhaust and badges and it looks like a standard one.

 

[Akagi]

They aren't cheap cheap anymore, but still not terrible considering the rarity.

Trick is finding a manual though.

 

[tom_nieto]

Great torque for the tip run!
