Incidentally here are a couple pics (albeit rubbish camera ones) of today in the Moors:

Found a Heli at lunch next to the Lion Inn:

Good ole Blakey, I am up there quite often. (was up Sunday & Monday infact fact). Quite a lot going on last sunday, looks like a motocross competition when i passed.

I am usually parked at the side of the road dogging :eek:

a little further up towards blakey bank.

Yeah the '950 controlled the changer. It was optional on every model except the Exec' where it was standard. Tis a shame that this one doesn't have the changer under the passenger seat.

Strangely though in this one it was replaced with the bog standard unit (R650?) at some point in the last 6 years, maybe it died. It's been swapped with my cherished Pioneer P77-MP now though.

I know the 1992 400 series broshure by heart, how sad...

Mmmm, 77MP. Bet that matches the wood trim perfectly

It suits it well, gotta love the retro-cool faceplates.

I'll take a picture tomorrow, and I'll find out the colour code and report back.

First chance for a proper drive in my car really since getting it/having the engine rebuilt, had an awesome time driving around some of Bedfordshire's finest this morning

WARHURYEAH · 22 Mar 2009 at 13:57

They see me rollin' They hatin'.

Hows the new engine Spaz?

CrazySpeaker · 22 Mar 2009 at 17:49

I have a few classics. My "daily driver" or the car I use the most is the Silver Shadow in my signature.

Firestar_3x · 22 Mar 2009 at 17:51

Since this is "Show us your motors" and not a "tell us about your motor" thread, not posting a picture kinda points to the fact that you fail?

CrazySpeaker · 22 Mar 2009 at 17:52

It's in my sig.

Firestar_3x · 22 Mar 2009 at 17:53

Would be nice to see something other than two lights and a grill.

CrazySpeaker · 22 Mar 2009 at 17:54

Well it's a completely standard, single tone paint, four door Shadow. I don't really keep many pictures of my cars.

peterattheboro · 22 Mar 2009 at 17:56

Jesus pic then

CliffyBiro · 22 Mar 2009 at 18:06

Pics with Hovis or it didn't happen.

CrazySpeaker · 22 Mar 2009 at 18:07

I'm not that bothered about it.

It's lovely, creamy smooth compared to how it was before, used send quite a vibration through the car if accellerating in a high gear at low revs (e.g. from 2k rpm in 4th), just put it down to how the engine worked, but it now pulls a lot more cleanly, very pleased with it

LiamC · 22 Mar 2009 at 18:20

Not my bike - Its my uncles, but i feel the need to post pics up and show all the other biker fans out there.

Was out with this today and its stupidly fast. I was in the car ( on the motorway ) and this pulled up beside and knocked down into first gear. :eek:

You collect classic cars but are not into them enough to photograph them?

Hmm..

I don't "collect" classic cars especially, I have a few though. I wouldn't call myself a collector. I find it a bit self indulgent to take pictures of your own car(s). I mean apart from for the sake of threads like this I'd have no real use for the pictures.

[TW]Fox · 22 Mar 2009 at 18:45

So you wouldnt want a record of owning such fine cars for you to look back over years after selling them? You'd not want some sort of photographic chronology of your hobby? Same reason people take holiday snaps or family snaps really - memories.

It takes a lot of passion to spend the money time and effort required to maintain something like a 1977 Rolls Royce. It would seem odd for somebody with those 3 to then not be bothered enough to have a couple of nice photographs of the fruits of their labour.
